He was 39th president of the USA. Carter became president after the Watergate corruption allegation and the Vietnam War shook American politics. Jimmy Carter died Sunday afternoon in Plains town, Georgia, according to the organization he founded, The Carter Center. He was also a groundnut farmer before becoming president. He breathed his last with all his family members nearby. US President Joe Biden said that an extraordinary leader, philanthropist and statesman has been lost. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Although he was diagnosed with cancer, he survived and had health problems including melanoma that spread to his liver and brain. Carter, the Democratic candidate, won the presidency by defeating Gerald Ford. But lost to Ronald Reagan in 1981. Carter's wife Rosalynn of 77 years died on November 19, 2023 at age 96. He is survived by four children three sons and a daughter.

The history of cinema has always involved technological innovation – from the first talkie films of the ’20s to the color revolution of the ’30s and all the way to 3D and CGI of the modern era. These advancements have allowed filmmakers’ imaginations to come to life in more vivid detail, and 2019’s “The Lion King” marked another transitory period in the technological advancement of film. The photo-realistic rendering of the animated animals conveyed a visual fidelity that had never been achieved in a movie before. Now, nearly five years later, a prequel titled “Mufasa: The Lion King” has been released that utilizes the same technology and photo-realistic textures. Directed by Barry Jenkins – the Best Picture-winning director of “Moonlight” – with a screenplay from writer Jeff Nathanson, “Mufasa: The Lion King” is both a sequel and a prequel simultaneously as we follow Simba’s daughter, Kiara (Blue Ivy Carter), as she hears the story of her paternal grandfather from Rafiki (John Kani) while Timon and Pumbaa (Billy Eichner and Seth Rogan, respectively) provide comedic commentary in between story segments. The framing for this plot structure is quite clever as it connects “Mufasa” to the broader themes of the Circle of Life and acts as a bridge between the past and the future. In the flashback portions, we discover that Mufasa (Aaron Pierre) was orphaned at a young age after he was swept away in a flash flood. Mufasa is rescued by a lion from another pride named Taka (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) and reluctantly accepted as a member of the tribe. However, this peace is disrupted when a group of white lions invade from the north and seek to dominate Taka’s pride. To preserve the bloodline, both Taka and Mufasa are ordered to run and leave their lands behind as they venture into the great unknown to find their destiny. If “The Lion King” – both the 1994 animated film and the 2019 CGI film – draws heavily upon Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” then “Mufasa” seems to draw upon themes from the story of Exodus, or even the Roman foundational myth of Romulus and Remus. The prequel portion suffers from the issues that all prequels do – predictability – but what “Mufasa” does well is establish a genuinely dramatic tension between the brothers that plays out as an epic saga of biblical proportions. Like Moses and Rameses in the story of Exodus, “Mufasa” explores the themes of a displaced heir, royal resentment and the path toward destiny. Technically, “Mufasa” is a major improvement over the 2019 remake because the rendering of the animals is far more vivid, lifelike and fluid. The facial expressions are actually expressive this time, which was a chief complaint of that remake. The soundtrack utilizes many of the same tracks from the originals, but there are also a number of new musical set-pieces that give the film its own identity. There’s also a touching memorial to James Earl Jones at the beginning, which reminds us of the late actor’s immense influence on so many genres. Overall, “Mufasa: The Lion King” is a worthy successor to the legendary legacy that defines the original.
