Myth, mind and large screen. Awareness of the heroes of our time

“Myth, Reason and a large screen” is a systematic attempt to apply Jung"s theory to the analysis of films (including the paintings “Space Odyssey” of 2001, “Silence of the Yagnit”, “Piano”), as well as to various cultural phenomena and works, such as Madonna Michael Jackson and sports television. Through these and other examples, John Izod demonstrates how the theory of Jung can bring new tools to the study of films and various media media, show new ways to understand screen works and paintings. He also demonstrates how Jungian analysis can give us a fresh look at the psychological dimensions of modern mythology and the subjective experience of the audience. And, perhaps, the most controversial: he claims that Western world cinema and television are more responsible for emotional mediation than centralized religions in past centuries.
