the death of the #tragicHero is always felt #classcin17 #scify

Star Wars used a narrative in the beginning to catch viewers up and set the scene, like most classic pieces #classcin17 #scify

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

#classcin17 #zorba the DamselInDistress trope is very relevant in the narrative, is common in ancient stories, & also challnegd in comedies

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

In #zorba, Irene Papas plays a scheming widow like Odysseus' wife. Common narrative motifs from classical stories #classcin17

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

Contrasting characterizations in a duo is a common "opposites attract" trope in order to create balance in #zorba #classcin17

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

In #zorba there was some themes of mortality, similar to classical stories #classcin17

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

Appropriating classical themes, narrative structures, etc. in #scify can utilize change from past 2 present 2 predict the future #classcin17

The extent of #lifebrian jokes mimic the ruthless Roman Comedy jokes #classcin17

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

#lifebrian is during or after the Constantine Era, as jokes around Christianity are a relevent part of the narrative #classcin17

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

#lifebrian plays with identity and parodies many tropes of Roman Comedies in a modern narrative #classcin17

The easter egg provides insight to the motifs and context that the Matrix revolves around and is semi-Platonic in thinking #classcin17scifi

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

An added dimension/layer of the Matrix is Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation which can be seen as an easter egg #classcin17scifi

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

The matrix is filled with layers of content with ancient greek narrative at its core layer #classcin17scifi

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

My Matrix tweets can be found at #classcin17scifi for the scifi genre project #classcin17

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

Neo goes through many roads of trials like Odysseus's journey and returns with truth #classcin17scifi

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

With Neo being the "Chosen One" he is given qualities of hero similar 2 being a "demi-god" like Perseus. Power granted gods #classcin17scifi

[Alexander Chun @chunasUCDAAP]

The theme of homecoming can be seen in Neo and Morpheus's yearning and return to Zion, the last home for the humans #classcin17scifi
