Movie Reviews of Joseph Campbell: Mythos I

Movie Review: Joseph Campbell_Mythos 1
Summary: 5 Stars

Buckle up for an extraordinary ride to the past, where customs and religious practices are not as arcane as we once thought them to be. Joseph Campbell takes us on a journey to meet the ancient gods of our ancestors and shows us how they metamorphosed into the gods of today. This is a wonderful series of lectures, illustrating common themes and motifs running throughout cultural and religious beliefs. In the final lecture, Campbell has the chutzpah to draw some fairly obvious but controversial conclusions, to which not everyone in the audience agrees. Some people still prefer to live in blind faith, but for those who are willing to take off the blinkers, this is a must see DVD.

Summary of Joseph Campbell: Mythos I

"The material of myth is the material of our life, the material of our body, and the material of our environment. A living, vital mythology deals with these." -- Joseph Campbell

During the final years of his life, Joseph Campbell embarked on a lecture tour in which he drew together all that he had learned about what he called the "one great story" of humanity. These remarkable lectures were filmed and are presented here in the order and manner in which Campbell himself intended, with enhanced images and in minimally-edited form. As seen on PBS.

The Programs
1. Psyche and Symbol -- The psychological impulse for and response to myth.
2. The Spirit Land -- How myths awakened American Indians to the mystery of life.
3. On Being Human -- The emergence of myth in early hunter-gatherer societies.
4. From Goddess to God -- The gradual shift from the Goddess to male, warlike deities.
5. The Mystical Life -- Non-biblical mythic strains hat helped shape the Western spirit.

Special Features: never-released Q&A footage and biographical material

Presented and Hosted by Academy Award? - Winner SUSAN SARANDON
