Last week I wrote a review of The Avengers from an Occupy point of view, raising the question of whether it would be possible to make movies with heroes who are bottom up/horizontal, manifesting the values of Occupy Wall Street.

American movie model is usually about one person who can make a difference
The very idea of what a hero is will shift from one culture to another culture.
In some, it's the community or family working together.
We have some stories like that--
Three Musketeers
But it's a little more come in some parts of the world.
In general---
In Asia, often in India, the myths will have individuals, but may also have stories". about the gang, the team, the brotherhood.
You can see it in Lord of the Rings-- building something, this team, the fellowship of the ring.
Rob: It's complicated because of the steps the mythic hero goes through. You think it's a viable story that could be developed?
Chris-- more than that I think it could be really powerful.
Chris gives the Classic Hero's journey description
Rob: There are archetypes associated with the hero's journey. What are they, starting with the hero?
Rob: How would that look for a group?
Rob:What's the next most important archetype?
-- the relationship between hero and mentor"
threshold guardians--
trickster, shapeshifter, shadow, ally
Rob: what's the chance of a collective hero major movie being made.
Rob: To make this kind of movie, you have to start with a great story, that readers or viewers can empathize with and be drawn into the story trance.
