What happened?!

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

This is amazing still after multiple times watching and after all these years. P.s. whos the asshole who clicked thumbs down?

Your teacher is probably making you watch this

This is, by far, the best LOST commentary/bonus feature available. Imo. Thank you so very much.

Dec 2019. Welcome to desert of the real.

This video was some bullsh*t

Why is this guy not producing the current Star Wars films?

Attending the Univers ity!

Attending the University!

i'm trying to forgive myself

I don't see the karate kid in these Campbell videos. Or Rocky, both created by the same dude. back to the future follows this theme as well

Amazing

best show of all time

"...and bring something back to share with everyone else, or it's a total waste of time..."

college comp... lol

CM 107

my english class watched this

Star Wars episode 4 completed the arc of the journey as well (Star Wars 4 and The Matrix are pretty much identical in terms of hero arc) but its sequel was better by far and one of the greatest movies of all time. : )

I gave a TEDx talk about the Monomyth and what we can learn from it about entrepreneurship. My really key point (about 2/3 of the way through) is a reference to The Matrix - check it out (The Entrepreneur's Journey in the video responses) and let me know what you think!

Has anyone ever written a paper about a myth that didn't fit in with the monomyth? I read a passage in one of Campbell's Hero books that referred a portion of an Arabian Nights story as an example of an archetypal myth (maybe someone else remembers the details better; it began with two lovers finding each other across a vast distance). I read much of the rest of the story, but found that it wasn't structured to follow all the steps Campbell had outlined. Only some of the stages were there.

It has help me understand a great deal about what I have to go through to succeed in school.

Theres not enough recipes for storys. New ones just seam to be to soon for the audience. Its as if all the popular films are the same stupid story

This type of theory is exactly why im so fed up with most movies. Its soooo predictable they are starting to suck

i actually like the way they did it... they had no idea if this movie would be a hit or not, so they wrapped it up pretty neatly just in case - i'm always annoyed when a movie comes to a cliffhanger because almost always it doesn't make enough money and those who did like are stuck trying to answer questions that are never answered... i think b/w the last two films we get this arc only with the steps being longer... but i will say that the second film was my least favorite of the thre

sayid's accent O.O ... how could he even make a different accent during LOST?

Joseph Cambell may be the most boring person on Earth

Not Kaplan... UMUC.

Like this if your Kaplan University Instructor sent you here

@melisse1123 I just followed your link but felt like you could've sent us to the actual website for Finding Joe: findi ngjoethemovi e.c om | We can't really watch the movie on youtube but we can watch it on the website.

they got most of Ghost in shell ideas to make the Matrix

Hummm, agora faz sentido.

my favorite lost bonus feature ever! thanks so much!

@Rzabladz No they're not. I own the soundtrack and both those songs aren't on there. I've found the last song (thanks to DillonB1234), it's called The Healing, from the Lady in the Water soundtrack. Still can't figure out the first song. Anybody know it?

@hollywood7128 not 100% sure about the first one but im pretty positive the last one is from the lady in the water soundtrack

@NinjaBearFighter Not necessarily true, after all, if you think about it, the original Star Wars movie was a full hero's journey arc as well as the beginning of an overarching arc over the next two movies. Likewise, every Harry Potter book features a complete hero's journey, but it gains much more meaning in the larger hero's journey that Harry travels over the seven books.

Anybody know the song titles: The very first song, and the very last song?

@cropatia the flight at the end of the movie also referes to the 17 stages of JC Campbell's Monomyth: The Magic Flight Sometimes the hero must escape with the boon, if it is something that the gods have been jealously guarding. It can be just as adventurous and dangerous returning from the journey as it was to go on it. Campbell: "If the hero in his triumph wins the blessing of the goddess or the god and is then explicitly commissioned to return to the world with some elixir for the restorat

@VrtirepkaST how

@eggory totally agree

This also helps explain why the other two werent a good. You can't have a trilogy when the arc of the journey is completed fully in the first movie.

Stage *8 where the hero has to go through some kind of ordeal, some kind of test that may involve facing death. ---- Except you can leave out the word may.....

@tubeuseryou101 its already been done search for it online

@tubeuseryou101 Or of course u could edit the movie urself & watch it in the privacy of ur own residence, thus, sparing the rest of us ur ridiculous, inane, idiotic ideas. Good day, sir :)

heinrich zimmer and joseph campbell: a must-read for everyone

Anyone into Joseph Campbell should also check out Marshall McLuhan. His media observations add a spectacular layer not just to the Matrix, but to the evolution of metaphor and mythology in general.

@trakkaton there are more movies that follow this pattern than movies that don't. Star Wars is probably the easiest one to see, but pretty much any movie having to do with an adventure is going to follow this pattern. Some others movies off the top of my head: Back to the Future, Willow, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Avatar (aka Pocahontas in Space), Wizard of Oz, E.T., Tenacious D: POD, etc. This pattern has been around as long as storytelling itself.

Is there a second movie for which this paraphasing works?
