MOVIES, MYTH & THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES (SUBS ESP)

"The Hero with a Thousand Faces," by Joseph Campbell, is a seminal work exploring the shared, universal structure of myths across cultures. It introduces the concept of the monomyth, or Hero's Journey, which outlines a common narrative pattern found in stories from around the world. This structure has heavily influenced storytelling, particularly in film, with examples like Star Wars, The Matrix, and various Disney animated films drawing inspiration from it.
