As part of my major, I have taken two classes on film. Film is a modern form of narrative. A much older form of narrative is mythology. I’ve studied mythology and seen how it influences fantasy film. All forms of narrative seem to point to certain fundamental desires, and these desires are closely related to our desire for God. I would like to mention three particular desires that are often seen in films.
