Blog 10: Reflection

In the past few weeks we have been learning about Monomyth or The Hero's Quest by Joseph Campbell.Reading about Monomyth on wikipedia, watching Joseph Campbell's interview and then watching a film Spirited Away in class has made me realise that all films and stories have the Hero's Quest in them.Hero's Quest was something new for me and after discussing about it in the class I got a understanding of it.We were suppose to choose a film of our choice and I choose Final Fantasy:The Spirits Within and had to identify and incorporate the things learned in the class and this helped me to get a better understanding of the hero's journey as I could easily identify the various elements in the film.Learning about the hero's quest has made me more interested in watching films because earlier I never paid attention to it but now I can easily identify the different elements of hero's quest in it.This helps to understand a story better and also makes a person interested in it.Mostly all films have Hero's quest in them and it shows how an ordinary person has to go through different kinds of tasks and in the end becomes a hero and gains knowledge from it.
