Have you ever noticed the similarities between the Tin Man and Star Wars' C3PO, as well between the Cowardly Lion and hairy Chewbacca?

And what about the "uncle/aunt" thing?

Coincidences?

I don't think so.

Thank you for your detailed analysis. Seeing how the dialogue sets up the story - especially with the Attractors is great.

I think it's the "little things," like the snippets of conversation for each of the character archetypes, that really show off the function of each archetype beyond simply being a character. The dialogue peculiar to each provides the subtext that allows the audience to begin to tap into the Internal World, which, in my opinion, is what turns the plot into a story. When the theme is camouflaged so that it’s not screaming at you, the story strikes a deeper nerve – possibly because you subconsciously recognize a theme, like in real life. I may be over-analyzing this, but that’s why I’m an analyst.

Scott, I've been wondering for a while how you watch movies? At some point in the future, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Thanks, Scott. Can't wait for the remaining analysis.

When's the book coming out ;-)

Keep Writing!

More on Star Wars similarities.

Have you ever seen Doctor Zhivago (1965)?

Do you remember the scene of the dam where General Yevgraf Zhivago [Yuri's brother -- Alec Guinnes] finds Yuri's lost daughter Tonya?

Yevgraf's uniform, and both the cold concrete and the bare design of the dam seem to come straight out from Star Wars' Death Star.

Tell me then if Alec Guinness' haircut isn't similar to that of "Gran Moff Tarkin" Peter Cushing.

It's clear in my opinion the influence this movie had in George Lucas' movie.
