Does a movie like Star Wars,
Fill some of that need for the spiritual adventure for the hero
Oh its perfect it does the the cycle perfectly.
It's not simple morality play
it has to do with the powers of life and their inflection through the action of man
One of the wonderful things I think about this
Adventure into Space is
that the
narrator the
Artist the one thinking up the story is in a field that is not covered by our own knowledges
Do you when you look at something like Star Wars
recognize some of the
Themes of the Hero throughout, the mythology?
well, I think that George
Lucas was using Standard mythological figures
the old man as the Advisor well specifically what he made me think of is the
Japanese sword Master
¨Remember a Jedi can feel the force flowing through him¨
I've done some of those people and this man hasn't it there their character. Well, there's something mythological, too
isn't there in the sense that the hero is helped by this stranger who shows up and gives him some instrument a sword or
Chief of knowledge after he gives him not only a physical instrument
But a psychological commitment and the psychological center this time let go your conscious self
And act on Instinct well he had him
Exercising with that strange weapon, and then pulled the mask over that's real Japanese stuff
When I took our two sons to see it
They did the same thing the audience did at that moment when the voice of Ben Kenobi?
Says to Luke Skywalker in the climactic moment use the [boss] loop
Let go
The audience broke out into they did elation - applause you see this thing communicates
It is in a language that is talking to young people today, and that's that's marvelous
