TELL THE DAMN STORY, ep 308: THREE OF THE BEST WAYS TO INTRODUCE THE HERO.
Welcome to another exciting episode of "Tell The Damn Story," where Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan dive deep into the art of character creation and hero introductions.
In this episode, they're peeling back the layers of iconic characters, revealing three distinct ways to bring a hero into the spotlight.
Have you ever wondered what makes a dangerous character become a beloved hero? Chris breaks down the complexities of character development, from Dorothy's innocent beginnings in The Wizard of Oz to Luke Skywalker's galactic destiny.
Alex gives us a sneak peek into a thought-provoking film, "Fresh," where a kid trapped in the drug game fights for a better future.
Our heroes aren't one-dimensional, as we discuss with references to Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" and explore the malleability of hero archetypes. From the deeply personal journey of loss and pain in a critical film scene to the shining example of moral responsibility seen in "Captain America: The First Avenger," we dissect what lives at the core of a protagonist's inner life.
