Most helpful review Joseph Campbell - Mythos 1

  • Full of Wisdom

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    If you are interested in Mythology, psyche(ology) or anthropology these lectures are full of fascinating, thought provoking and occasionally contentious nuggets. Campbell is entertaining throughout and often moves so quickly from point to point that there is barely enough time to think about what he has just revealed. The only negatives to this DVD were the quality of the filming of the actual lecture and the pointless summing up by Susan Sarandon which seems to dumb the whole thing down. Overall though, a wonderful taster of just the tip of the mountain of Joseph Campbell's work.

    Joseph Campbell is clear in his illustration of Jun's ideas. His videos of monkeys compared to human sodiety are interesting. I go along with his explanations really well. I like him. Of course, He is gentle in his comparison with different societies

    To me, he is intellectually satisfying.

    I found this boring. People talking about people talking, with much hero worship of the late Campbell, and little actual content.
