Research Models in Hollywood movies are not grievous. How myths and folk tales, movies often have the same basic scenario several times. The base model of the history of the character, personality and behaviour has psychological explanations.
Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961) extended the concept of psychological archetypes. Archetype is an original model of a person, such as ideal or prototype, on the other are copied, patterned or emulated. Served as an archetype symbol that everyone can recognize. Some archetypes often appeared in stories, like the archetypal child, the hero of the Great Mother, the wise man and women, the Trickster, the Devil, The Scarecrow and mentor. Archetype as a model of the person's personality or behaviour is easy to find in Hollywood films. In the example, the hero archetype.
The character has explained at the beginning of this article is Luke Skywalker, who appeared in Star Wars trilogy, and he owned properties, as archetypal heroes can be identified.
In his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell (1904 - 1987) a plot archetype in ancient myths, which told the same story about the hero as the main recurring theme has been identified. These characters usually follow models:
- Born under unusual circumstances. The hero is often born into royalty-free, or in times of danger.
- In a point in the life of the hero, he left his family and the earth and life with others.
- The hero is an event that results in an adventure or quest involved. The event is often traumatic.
- The hero has run a special weapon only he can.
- The hero of a supernatural aid found on his adventure.
- The hero must prove that he repeatedly adventure or quest.
- The hero experiences atonement with the father.
- If the hero dies, he is rewarded spiritually.
We want to identify ourselves as the hero character in a movie, you will find an example of this archetype in Hollywood films are relatively simple. Of course, the character is not always all the criteria above are classified as an archetypal hero mentioned. A lot of examples of the archetypal hero, of course, lie, especially superhero movies. Superhero movies are currently flooding the screen, as a symbol of the hopes and ideals of the return to society. A superhero is a figure to see do good things, and the audience loves them always.
Examples of the archetypal hero in the movies are super heroes Superman, Spider-Man, Batman and Iron Man in other films, as Aragorn (LOTR), Indiana Jones, John Connor (Terminator), and Harry Potter. These characters were like a true hero character was endured by their devotion to the pain and grief for the good of the many proven and of itself.
Although the archetypal hero is not limited to action films and heroes, most of the samples that you can find most of both sexes. Perhaps because it is easier to achieve as a hero in a situation that requires a lot of action and dynamics.
Archetype is a part of our collective consciousness. Through the experience of history as the archetypal hero, we see the struggle against evil and bring peace to society. Although recurring patterns can make bored the audience, the figure of the hero still plays an important role. They forge positive values in the public and remind them that good things still worth fighting for. Maybe not killing by killing dragons or evil overlord, but there are many ways to be a hero. And we can all be one.
