Description
Summary:In 28 Years Later, Alex Garland creates another screenplay of mythological elements based on Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey and archetypal characters. The family unit of son, mother, and father are examined alongside the two Hero's Journeys the son Spike takes - a false one and a true one. Ultimately, the positive trickster of the scientist-priest sage represents the example using rituals of being human in a chaotic world.
