connecting to each of the myths

1.) Wisdom of the Rustic- a popular culture text would be the children's movie Shrek....You may be asking how or why? My answer is this; Shrek is an unhappy, mean, filthy, grumpy ogre. Princess Fiona was once your typical damsel in distress, she was beautiful, smart and more than anything unfortunately helpless and hopeful that her price charming would rescue her. Fiona and Shrek meet and fall in love after much disgust of one another. They come to realize the better parts of each other. Shrek becomes more loving and Fiona becomes more..well more shrek.. she also turns into an ogre and becomes even smarter and funnier. They bring out the good in one another but only because the two elements met and the wisdom of the rustic was gained.
2.) The possibility of success- A popular culture text here would be the movie, Good Will Hunting. This myth to media is a very popular genre because it is so satisfying as a viewer to watch the undo-able be done. In this Matt Damon a very poor, kid who can't stay out of trouble is expected to have no future when suddenly it is discovered that although he is bad he is also more than brilliant. He is a math genius and suddenly there is this great amount of respect for a kid that grew up in the hood. He way outshines professors that have studied math for all their years and he is just some punk kid. I think this example is better than any sports movie. It gives an example of how you can succeed in life from any position and that great minds are not just belonging to those who are complete squares.
3.)Coming of the Messiah: A more than perfect example of this media is the movie Passion of The Christ. Need I say more?
4.) Presence of Conspiracy: The movie V for Vendetta. This movie is all about the underlying idea that the government is evil. There is a huge presence of conspiracy that everything happening in the movie is because of what the government was doing. I found the movie very strange yet compelling. It did cause the stir of my mind though.
5.) Value of a Challenge: Remember the Titans. I certainly remember the titans because this popular media text left a very big imprint in my mind. The challenge of diversity was HUGE.... however, the team overcame the racism and stereotypes originally challenging them and became an amazing football team.Surprise! Almost all value of a challenge movies in in success.
6.) Eternal Return: The movie The family man. In this movie Nicholas Cage more than likely representing the working man... or family man becomes too work oriented and gives up the idea of love and family in order to become more successful, he later has dreams or rather he is in the life of an average man with a family... He wakes up with his wife and kids... He hates it at first but then becomes so happy and realizes how much he loves them and when he finally realizes what they mean to him he is back in his old life as a businessman with no wife or kids.
