Blog 10: Reflection II

Over the past few weeks we worked on film. We learned about monomyth, the hero's quest and an interview from Joseph Campbell. I found the past few weeks to be particularly interesting because I enjoy movies a lot. Learning about these things had several meanings. Now, when I watch a movie, I will see that it has a much deeper meaning now that I know about the Hero's Quest. I have learned all the elements in the Hero's Quest and about Joseph Campbell. I really enjoyed the film essay/assignment. I liked how we were able to pick which ever movie we wanted that fit with the class theme. I wasn't in class the day we watched Spirited Away, but I have seen it before and I love that movie, and it truely is a perfect example of the Hero's Quest.
