The Legend of Tarzan? 🌴🙈🙉🙊🌍📕🐵

One of the 1001 books I was told I should read before I die was 'Tarzan of the Apes', so I listened to the free audio book at Loyal Books through Apple Podcasts and was surprised just how violent but well written the 1912 book was.

Edgar Rice Burroughs sure could write, and he wrote many Tarzan books, that I can't be bothered reading, because I never have been, and still aren't into Tarzan.

Then I watched the 2016 movie starring Margot Robbie as Jane, after reading/listening to the 1912 book and thought, who is this version of Tarzan, running like a hippie with the lions and other animals, when in the original story he was stabbing lions and apes to death with his knife and eating raw lion flesh and making pelts from their fur?

I had not watched the 2016 movie until this year after reading the 1912 book, because Tarzan is just not my thing.

I notice on the movie poster above that the Tarzan movie came out the day before Margot Robbie's birthday that year.

Maybe there should have been owls flying through the jungle in that movie?-)

One thing I found out while researching Margot's role in Tarzan by reading her Wikipedia page that I didn't know until now, was that Margot had previously shared a flat with Neighbours co-star Ashleigh Brewer. 

I'm told that Ashleigh is related to me by marriage on my aunty Beverley's side of the family, not that I have ever met Ashleigh.

It sure is a small world.

There must be something about the Tarzan story that draws people in on a Jungian or even Freudian level, I think.

Maybe because the story came out around 1912 there was interest in the Darwinian theory of being descended from apes and also the creation myth about Adam and Eve and wanting to go back to that primordial mythical garden?

But for me, reading this book and watching the 2016 movie starring Margot Robbie as Jane is enough Tarzan for me until I die;-)

On the subject of lions and Africa (the continent that Darwinists say man originated from), I've been buying Kinder Surprise Lion King eggs each time I go through the checkouts at my local supermarket, with my goal of trying to get the baby lion king eventually.

I was finding it more interesting that the animals I thought that I didn't want ended up being synchromystic signs for me in my life at the time. 

But that's for a future post.

My youngest son who works at another supermarket, and who knew that I was after the baby lion king, brought home one that he found outside the store he works at.

I was kind of disappointed that the game was up, since I had the figure I was trying to get now.

But I thought to myself that it didn't count getting the baby lion king that way.

And the next time I went through the checkout at my supermarket, I bought another Kinder Surprise and got the baby lion king in that egg. 

What are the odds?

I have two baby lion kings on my computer desks now, but I'm still going to buy an egg each time I go through the checkout to see what animal the universe throws my way and see if I have any synchronicities with that animal in my life.
