The Lion King (2019) — Did Disney actually learn anything?
Disney has hopefully learned some lessons since 1994. Are those lessons reflected in the 2019 remake of "The Lion King?"

Wolfgang Döblin, son of the famous writer Alfred Döblin and a talented mathematical genius, obtained French citizenship while in exile and was mobilized as a soldier during the Franco-German War in 1939. Despite the extreme conditions at the front, he worked on his theories of random motion, particularly "memoryless random processes." At only 25 years of age, he took his own life to avoid capture by the Wehrmacht, but left behind significant works in probability theory that underscore his influence on modern mathematics.

I can say without question, that this is the first movie I’ve ever seen where art imitates life so much that I could 100% identify with it on a personal level. The predominately Black cast of characters are people with hopes, dreams, fears, and ambitions.
It’s been five months since Wayward premiered on Netflix and it still has some of us in a choke-hold.
Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) are a delight to watch evolve, sometimes devolve, then evolve again.
In all actuality, “Just Mercy” should be labeled a “wall punching narrative.” Constantly, the flick throws high forms of adversity our way, amping up our most inner levels of discomfort. Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton wonderfully paces the film in such a way that replicates the slow-burn nature of justice.
I’m disappointed in The Woman in Cabin 10, but that’s at least in part because of my love of Ruth Ware’s novel.
