MYTH
The
mythical journey is the only sure path to a smash hit.
Myth
is the foundation of more blockbusters than any other
genre by far. There are many reasons for this. One is
that myths show us archetypal characters and life changes
that transcend cultures. That's why "Star Wars"
was just as popular in Japan as in the US. The myth
form travels the world better than any other genre.
Audiences love it; so studio executives love it.
Most
blockbusters have a myth foundation (usually combined
with one or two other genres). But the old myths were
unique to their time. What are the new stories that
represent our world and our life struggles? The trick
now is to create new myths that are meaningful to a
world environment. That means looking for the big human
distinctions and frontiers: life/death, man/woman, human/machine,
this world/other worlds, applied to a fast, technological
world.
