Summary

This quote expresses the belief that movies allow the individual to tap into the collective unconscious, a concept developed by Joseph Campbell. The collective unconscious refers to a deep shared repository of symbolic images and archetypes that are present in every human's psyche. According to this interpretation, movies can serve as a medium for individuals to explore and connect with universal themes, symbols, and emotions that resonate with the broader human experience. This connection brings a deeper understanding and sense of belonging to the viewer.
