A philosopher named Joseph Campbell, made a theory about the journey of a hero. In his theory, "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" talks about the hero going through a series of process the main ones being the hero's "retreat from the world" meaning the separation or departure of the hero, the hero's "initiation" in other words his triumphs

Two of the best things in the world, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” and “Harry Potter,” have a good deal in common. Other than the vast amount of space reserved in my brain for storing quotes and random facts from these two stories, both tales share many similar objects, plot devices, character attributes, and themes. Even though Python's “Holy Grail” is an exact historical representation of the Arthurian Grail legend, some might argue that the “Harry Potter” story is more reflective of the actual ancient texts than the 1974 film.

The other fight in the Hunger Games In a society where the poor are punished to parish in an all-out battle royal, this is the society that Suzanne Collins had created.

Confronting an injustice in this world requires every individual to take responsibility for his actions. If an individual is aware of their fight and devotes himself to it, he must work to cause whatever small change he can. However, there is strength in numbers, and nobody should attempt to fight a larger fight on their own, lest they become discouraged at their failures.

“Miss Potter” is a detailed biographical film about Beatrix Potter, one of England’s most prominent authors, known for her collection of children’s books. Instead of focusing mainly on her well known stories and illustrations, the movie also depicted her life, with all its happiness and sorrow, in addition to shedding light on England’s old lifestyle and prejudice.

Low key lighting and odd camera angles are used in this part of the film while Harry searches for the Sorcerer’s stone and battles Voldemort. There is a slight horror aspect to the following scenes as Harry deals with the antagonist of the film, Voldemort. Horror is a genre that aims to create a sense of fear, panic, and dread for the audience. These films are often unsettling and rely on scaring the audience through a portrayal of their worst fears and nightmares. As we grow to love Harry and realize his biggest fear is the man who killed his parents and also him, and then are forced to watch him return this brings horror into the mix as a sub-genre.

Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully?
