The feminist pride
A pride of lions in The Kruger National park with a specific relationship to a Lioness Malika and her life journey. I was expecting a wildlife documentary but found the narration to be belittling of the male species in a sharp feminist way that took largely from the footage and splendor of large cats in the wild. Adding a humanistic “voice” into the animal kingdom is both pretentious and for me was a nauseating experience. Nature has a survival mode and roles within the structure to help the group survival, a feminist, male demeaning narration took away the splendor of nature as it is. Highly doubt you would hear SIr David Attenborough give voice to such a text. I found it hard to give 2 stars as the experience was for me far to bias and not a neutral narration expected in a documentary.
Refreshing, engaging, and critical
This movie is a refreshing take on a classic tale. Instead of focusing on the “King of the Jungle”, it focuses on the life journey of a lioness in South Africa and highlights the important role she and her female family members play in keeping their pride strong while maintaining balance within the ecosystem.I have seen reviews criticizing the movie for adding a human voice, and thereby human assumptions, to what the main character may be thinking and feeling. However, I feel the producers were aiming to make a film that was educational, engaging for people of all ages, and empowering for girls and young women! Likewise, I have seen some folks claiming that the film “bashes men” and promotes feminism. To this, I would respond by saying I believe the second half of the statement is true and the movie simply shares facts (some of which may indeed paint males in an unflattering way, but are still true). I feel it is trying to promote some critical thinking about society in general, using lions as the messengers.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this movie! It may be a little graphic for young children, as it shows realistic hunting scenes, but I think it could start some great conversations when watched with an adult.
