Yup, you can. Actually, I am. We're discussing Campbell in our mythology class, and were asked to write a paper about a modern myth that fits in with Campbell's monomyth. Just finished it, from SCRATCH, and only now looked up this vid. Haha, I didn't realise that the makers were directly influenced by him. So I guess I reinvented a god damn wheel! But that's okay, I severly enjoyed the exercise :P. At least now, I know I'm right!

There's something you don't know, and you don't know you don't know it, and that is that the speaker does actually know what he is talking about, has written a book about it, and so has Joseph Campbell, and most Hollywood movies follow this pattern whether you don't know it or not.

But your talk about an artist doing what he has to to get the right rise out of his audience is what had me in disagreement, and still does. That's manipulation, and cold and meaningless. Whatever the product, the process that made the art is important. It's supposed to be about an individual with something to express, and heightened ability to do so. Then people relating to it is incidental, and as a result real. How can you draw inspiration from someone who doesn't even feel what they produce?
You look into all myths modern or acient the pretty similar. The really popular monomyth is The Star Wars Trilogy, i say trilogy becuase the prequels where crap and unneeded.
Fascinating stuff, can you study Comparative Mythology without a massive bank account??
