Wow this is a really awesome interpretation of this scene. I never realized how much symbolism was in it. Screw Frozen, Lion King is the best Disney movie.
I tended to find the vision of Mufasa more moving than Mufasa’s death. Death happens. Not everyone gets to witness a cosmic event that transcends life and death. It’s a call to be more than you are and it’s so inspiring and uplifting.
Andrew Mabon you're right! His eyes are yellow when he looks at his father. When he is speaking with Rafiki again after the event, his eyes are white. When he makes it to the Pridelands, his eyes are yellow.
Rafikis stick is clearly a phallos-symbol, with two balls hanging from it - symbolizing adulthood and fertility (life). I wish mr Peterson would have included that.
Rafiki is like a shaman and as any older civilisation , you had top ass trough an initiation to become a man , for a adolescent to an adult nowadays we lost this , but this gave a waking up call.
Exactly the same thing happens between Yoda and Luke on Dagobah. It is the initiation of a young hero who faces his own fears in the Dark Side cave and starts to understand his role in this destructive conflict.
He faces his own fears, and more importantly he faces the Vader within himself. An early draft of ROTJ would have seen Luke become the new Vader, succumbing to the dark side. In the final movie he redeems Vader and makes the choice to see him as a good man who had fallen. He says "I am a Jedi, like my father before me." Choosing to see his father as a Jedi, not a Sith. That means he faced and overcame the evil within himself. That is until he decided that Ben Solo needed to die.
When I was a child, I recognized what JBP lectured about. This movie is really great for anyone at any age. One of the best movies of all time if you ask me.
Rafiki's behavior is borderline trickster, but I don't think that was the intention. He seems to play the role of a mentor, and perhaps even a sort of metaphorical psychopomp.
i think it's symbolism; suggests the nature of the self and being, which are fundamentally universal and transcendent - whereas now he's useless etc. So, when someone finds and connects with this true self, they also unite with their truest potential in virtue of that, which is definitive and individual, but equally universal in scope. Such is the 'king like' nature of all our trues potential, whether we actually find and fulfill that possibility or not. my 2 cents anyway x
@@thusundi1963 and why exactly do you believe "the full truth of God is right there in the Catholic Church"?? What reason do you have to think this is the case?
"he tells a bunch of weird jokes and she hits him with a stick a couple of times and thank God" 😂😂🤣

Isn’t it one of the few Disney movies about masculinity
Frozen: ruclips.net/video/_GtYEPoc9wM/видео.html
Frozen sucks.
Yes
@@BM-dq3bv Lion King is also about masculinity

This scene is what makes Disney movies great. Jordan Peterson is using the right movies to teach.
I wish JBP could narrate my life so I know what to do.
made my night
Don't you already know?
deep down you already know.
That’d be strange
He does. If you listen
Thanks for adding the animations from the movie.
Also seems as though his eyes go from his childhood innocent white to his father's yellow.

But it's a psychology class, so you know there must be ladies present. :P
that would move the direction to Freud. This class was about Carl Jung

This scene always choked me up. Now I realize why.

As above, so below
I think I sometimes fulfil the trickster archetype for my friends... very useful person to have around.
It’s the fool who becomes a magician or shaman

But he has to be a trickster to get simba interested in change.
He's a shaman very aware guy.
Damn, never thought I'd say this, but I gotta watch the lion King cartoon.
but simba's responsability is greater than mine... he's the son of a fucking king

Your dad is a king too , your king into your kingdom , don't even forget that !
The music at the end is terrible
Jesus crist, did you have to make the music at the end so freaking loud?
I used to watch lion king so,much I,broke the cassette
How can i be initiated into the mystery religions? That is the real question...as far as i can tell (to borrow some of jp's phraseology =)
Become a baptized Catholic. There’s no reason to go looking for the esoteric when the full Truth of God is right there in the Catholic Church.
@@thusundi1963 and why exactly do you believe "the full truth of God is right there in the Catholic Church"??
What reason do you have to think this is the case?
So what's Jordan's point?
Any kenyan watching?
tht music end was annoying. blasted my ears fyi
