Archetypes in Movies

[UnifyingFactor]

This is only my opinion, take it for what it is and only that. If you wish.

I used to work in the film industry with writers and I can state that generally it's all about the money. Pandering to the lowest common denominator is not uncommon. I found that most concepts are thought of for their "cool" factor for commercialization, on the conscious level at least. This is speaking of the indie scene, I'd have to imagine it's similar yet very different in Hollywood. On the sub-conscious level the possibilities are infinite though, so it remains an unknown. I won't pretend to have the faintest clue to anybodies motives.

As to the nature of films and the archetype portrayals. I think that films are meant to submerge us into an illusion within an illusion to take in heavily purified emotional catalyst at a quicker rate. One can analyze it for it's archetypical nature but it might be far more effective to experience it as any other catalyst, rather than dissecting it analytically. To each their own though
