Let Black Be Synonymous With Glory #BlackIsKing #Africa

I’m going to tweet from this thread to tell you the Parallels with the original lion king film

Bigger is not only Beyoncé’s version of Circle of Life but it also speaks to the speech Mufasa gives Simba about legacy, about being royalty “everything the light touches” #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing

I’ve said it before but lion King is my favorite film of all time. And this film does such an incredible job of respecting the original story and sharing the lessons found in the story #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

Find Your Way Back is literally what this entire film is about. That’s the message of Lion King. The lessons Simba’s father taught him, about always finding “home”. About remembering who you are. No one can take your birthright away from you #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing

Don’t Jelaous Me, this Simba in the heyanas den. This is the scene where him and Nala are in the elephant graveyard. #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing

Scar - well that’s self explanatory. Warren is playing scar... fitting #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

“All white to the funeral” - Beyoncé

Mood4Eva is my favorite part of the film - Beyoncé and Jay Z are Timon and Pumba. They introduce young Simba to paradise. A life of “no worries” - it’s wealth, joy, it’s freedom. Hakuna Matata #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing

Even in the origam film Simba gets “lost in the sauce” - he gets caught in the “lush” a it’s a good time. He almost forgets who he is. The table is always set for him. He forgets who he is meant to be #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing

Of course Simba lives in Sunny Pretoria #AfricaIsKing #BlackIsKing

Ja Ara E is Simba deep in his denial of who is - the scene where scar “appears” to him, is his lasting catching up to him. He’s being reminded of who he is. It’s the scene in the original film where him Timon and Pumba are looking at the stars #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

Already is Rafiki coming back to Simba. Essentially remember who the hell you are. #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

Can we have moment for @Nandi_Madida as NALA. #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

This scene is only in the film cause of the remake of the original. In the 2019 this is where Nala goes to fetch Simba. #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

Brown Skin Girl - is just so affirming omg #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

Keys to the kingdom is The #BlackIsKing version of Can You Feel The Love Tonight. Simba and Nala reconnect and fall in love. THIS IS A LOVE SONG #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

RIP Kodak #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

Otherside is parallel of the scene in the original film where Mufasa speaks to Simba. He’s speaking to Simba from... the otherside

#AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

Otherside is a stunning stunning song. It’s a reminder that those that have left the earth haven’t really left us. They’re still apart of us. #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

“To god we belong, to him we return” #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

This scene is Simba returning to his destiny. This is when he decided to go fight for his legacy. It’s one of the most powerful scenes in both the original film and this one #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

My Power - This OUR moment #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing - @busiswaah and @Moonsanelly THANK YOU

In terms of the film - this again is a Beyoncé addition for the remake. She wanted emphasize how woman are the ones who actually get the job done. This is true in a pride of lions as well #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

Guys MOONCHILD she one leg twerked for the world #AfricaisKing #BlackIsKing

Spirit is an anthem this is the the most poignant message of this film for. The song, like the film speaks about overcoming fear, it’s about stepping into your destiny, not forgetting who you are. It’s about seeing the greatness that you are. It’s affirming that #BlackIsKing
