Watch the video: https://youtu.be/pvdWNQkWlb4 We tend to think that the past is fixed in memory and that our eyes simply tell us the truth. Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon shows something more unsettling: people can witness the same event and remember it differently, not only because they lie, but because pride, shame, fear, and self-preservation shape what they are able to see. In this episode of Mythi...

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/iafKQXrXcsE Dead Poets Society is famous for boys standing on desks, and it is also the story of a boy who never stands again. The familiar fork (seize the day against crushing tradition, poetry against conformity, the beloved teacher against the rigid father) is real, and it is not deep enough. Read with Soren Kierkegaard's The Sickness Unto Death, the film is a...

The "carpe diem" spirit at work in Dead Poets Society is a genuine good, but it is dangerous when it is not given the guardrails of facticity. The romantic spirit can wake a sleeping life, give verse to the willfully mute, and make the world feel alive again.

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/ltRXR2l06Ak Peter Jackson's The Return of the King is a cinematic finale that keeps much of Tolkien's spirit on screen (courage when the path is insurmountable, devotion to companions, sacrifice for ordinary domestic life) even while it makes significant, sometimes painful, departures from the book. In this Mythic Mind Movies conversation, Dr. Andrew Snyder (profe...

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/cQQy1BkKGt0 Peter Jackson's The Two Towers is one of the strongest middle chapters ever put on screen: wider scope, deeper stakes, and Helm's Deep as an iconic set piece. It is also the film where adaptation liberties grow sharper than in Fellowship, and where Tolkien's spirit is both carried and strained. In this Mythic Mind Movies conversation, Dr. Andrew Snyder...

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/ZpZY3u_eyuw Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring is still one of the most awarded films in cinema history, and for many viewers it was the door into Tolkien. As a movie it has enduring power. As an adaptation it invites real criticism without requiring bitterness: the films are shadowed by the greatness of the books, and that is part of why they still matter...
