Re: SW och willow

När man jämför Willow med SW så ser man däremot tydligt att de har samma persongalleri och samma övergripande dramatologiska struktur båda två.
Det återstår att förklara varför.

För att båda är George Lucas-historier, och Lucas är väldigt förtjust i Joseph Campbells "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" om hur alla myter är likadana med lite annorlunda fernissa på. Här är ett stycke från http://www.karmastrology.com/rek_hero.shtml:
Campbell showed that the story always began with an Everyman just living his hum-drum life. Suddenly and unexpectedly, either by chance or by choice, Everyman is either pulled out of his ordinary life or chooses to leave his ordinary life to launch into a great adventure, whose ending he cannot know at the beginning.
The adventure, according to Campbell, then goes through several specified stages. The hero will journey into a dark world where he meets various forces or entities which he has to deal with. Along the way he encounters a teacher who gives him the instruction in new skills he will need to learn to successfully achieve his goal. No later than this part of the journey the hero becomes consciously aware of what that very specific goal is.
Striving for his goal, the hero is challenged to his limit, reaching a peak culminating experience, what Campbell calls a "supreme ordeal." The result is that the hero "gains his reward" and is forever changed by the experience. He often gains some new powers and sets off with them. Eventually the hero re-emerges to his society with these new abilities bringing a boon to his society which somehow restores that society.
Vad gäller bristen på Campbelliska myter i Indiana Jones så kan det säkert ha att göra med att Spielberg var involverad där också.
