Movie Reviews of Power of Myth
Movie Review: Joseph Campbell Rocks - Sizzling Publications Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Joseph Campbell rocks. I just finished reading The Power of Myth, an interview he did with Bill Moyers back in 1985 and all I can say is, "Wow."
When discussing Joseph Campbell, one would be remiss to not include one, if not several of his quotes. The most popular by far is the follow your bliss quote:
If you follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one that you are living. Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
I love this quote. It's so simple; do what you want to do. When I was a kid, there were two things that I knew I wanted to accomplish in my life: become a teacher and a writer. I feel like those two careers are a part of my biology. There were times when I tried to change my course. I tried resisting the natural path of my life only to discover that resistance was time-consuming and useless. Following my bliss has always been the less stressful way of life.
Mythology has always been fascinating to me. There is something about the zealous gods, the superfluous heroism and the crazy women who make Tyler Perry's Madea look as tame and innocent as a kitten that seizes my imagination. Mythology is like a creative feast- an all you can eat buffet of plots, characters, conspiracies and psychological disorders.
Power of Myth is the caterer of this mythological feast; it lays out all of the dishes into neat, organized components - The First Storytellers, The Hero's Adventure, and The Gift of the Goddess to name a few. From the Shinto texts of Japan to Dante's Divine Comedy, Campbell leaves no stone unturned as he masterfully shares his inexhaustible knowledge of myth.
