DVD Reviews of Joseph Campbell: Mythos I
DVD Review: Brilliant, except....
Summary: 4 Stars
Joseph Campbell is brilliant. Every sentence he utters should be pondered for hours. This video is great except for the awful narration by Susan Sarandan. There you hanging on Joseph's every word then SMACK and it cuts to Susan and some rediculous monologue. That pretentious cretan ruins the whole series. Thanks a lot!DVD Review: Joseph Campbell_Mythos 1
Summary: 5 Stars
Buckle up for an extraordinary ride to the past, where customs and religious practices are not as arcane as we once thought them to be. Joseph Campbell takes us on a journey to meet the ancient gods of our ancestors and shows us how they metamorphosed into the gods of today. This is a wonderful series of lectures, illustrating common themes and motifs running throughout cultural and religious beliefs. In the final lecture, Campbell has the chutzpah to draw some fairly obvious but controversial conclusions, to which not everyone in the audience agrees. Some people still prefer to live in blind faith, but for those who are willing to take off the blinkers, this is a must see DVD.DVD Review: Joseph Campbell: Mythos I
Summary: 5 Stars
This fortunate product constitutes one half of the former Mythos. You will also need Mythos 2 in order to have the complete work. This is OK; in fact good news, as the original Mythos--now out of production--is expensive if you find it, Mythos 1 is not.
The content in this series is vital if you are looking for genuine insight into the human experience. Quite possibly the answers to solving many of society's/culture's/civilization's fundamental dilemmas may be peiced together from this knowledge herein. As the phenomenon of progress continues to change human life universally, there are many forgotten basic principals and truths to living life in harmony with itself that do not change. They are forgotten but not lost and you may find some in Mythos 1.

DVD Review: Mythos I
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must for Campbells students of mythology. He enlightens us with ancient wisdom once again.DVD Review: Five Stars Are Not Enough
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is a Campbell resource that is meaty, enjoyable, and delightful. For those of us who, like George Lucas, consider Joseph Campbell our "Yoda," an entire series of lectures is like finding the Mother Lode. My only complaint about this DVD is the fact that it is Mythos I and I am trying to find the entire set!
It is my understanding that approximately 50 hours of Campbell video exists and I, for one, would like to see every scrap of it. The more complex the world becomes, the more cogent and significant are the lectures of Joseph Campbell. Please offer more. I would happily buy the entire set. I have watched Mythos I half a dozen times. Like Carl Sagan's Cosmos, this is a timeless, pertinent, important contribution to those searching for truth and meaning in an upside-down world.
Description of Joseph Campbell: Mythos I
"The material of myth is the material of our life, the material of our body, and the material of our environment. A living, vital mythology deals with these." -- Joseph CampbellDuring the final years of his life, Joseph Campbell embarked on a lecture tour in which he drew together all that he had learned about what he called the "one great story" of humanity. These remarkable lectures were filmed and are presented here in the order and manner in which Campbell himself intended, with enhanced images and in minimally-edited form. As seen on PBS.
