Please post a 150-200-word response to the following discussion question by clicking onReply. Use references to our readings or video material to enrich your answer.Myth is so often thought of as a genre of ancient storytelling. However much discussion among folklorists and anthropologists point to a continuum where by myth still plays an important role in contemporary society. One such place this can be observed is at the movies. A documentary special from the PBS seriesAmerican Masters:George Lucas Heroes Myths & Magic(1993) makes a connection between past and present but it was recently removed from Youtube. So please review the following links:The Matrix Joseph Campbells Monomyth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AG4rlGkCRU)The Power of Myth Episode 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lSwTH9WI-w)Then think of a modern movie with mythological elements such asStar WarsThe Chronicles of Narnia orThe Lord of the Rings. What lessons might these stories teach the audience?
