Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt. We have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero path." Shakespeare Joseph Campbell
Rich, evocative, and grounding presentation of Joseph Campbell's insight into our psyche.We so deserve to have a wonderful life, why are you standing in your own way? Dare to confront your worst fear and you may triumph, but at least you won't be cowering in the face of the unknown. There's not a map, but proceed. "If you want to be healed go to the temple of the god or Goddess you hate or fear the most." Jung, C., Evan Hodkins trans.
You can't judge a movie by its preview. In addition to Rashida Jones, the movie also features Catherine Hardwicke, Lynne Kaufman, and Rebecca Armstrong.
to the person who posted about Tony Hawk... scumbag or not... he's human. how perfect are you? this is about the Hero's Journey, not the Hero's Destination. let me spoil the ending of life for you, Tony Hawks not perfect, Joseph Campbell's not perfect & neither are you. So maybe if you could allow Tony Hawk his mistakes oh mighty one & instead appreciate his life's search & not his life's failures you'll get more outta Joseph Campbell and your own life as well.
Looks lovely, shame it's only men (bar one token woman) who are worthy of their voices being heard...same old? Are we so accustomed to this kind of representation of humankind that we don't even notice it?
Then find a way to make your own movie. You can do it! We need to stop separating every little detail of life. Haven't seen it yet but looking forward to it. I had cancer the year this was made so missed a lot of good movies that year.
