Summary: Fantastic Treatise
Review: The previous reviewer, 'diogeneze' as he likes to call him/serself, is an idiot him/herself, for a lack of understanding the profundity of Campbell's words.One needs to look far beyond the spoken words to gather their meaning. Diogeneze quoted Shakespeare in the comment, but one wonders if he/she really even understands him!

Summary: Campbell Shines Again
Review: This nice little film gives a not too detailed overview of Campbell's life and manages to cover some of his main mythological points as well. If someone doesn't have time to be introduced to Campbell with "The Power of Myth" series, then this one hour documentary should do. A semi-classic moment: look for when Campbell is explaining that the priest who attended his lecture called what Campbell was saying, "blasphemy" - Campbell looks (and sounds) so hurt when recounting that story!

Summary: Life of Campbell
Review: This video gives the viewer an overview of the life of Joseph Campbell from his early beginnings as a student to his later years. Marvellous examples of synchronicity in action, this video is a must for any serious collector of mythology or comparative religion. Thoroughly entertaining!

Summary: Visual Homage
Review: This visual look at the energetic scholar of literature and religion captures his infectious high spirits nicely. Campbell has fun with his material, which is--contrary to the critcism of Diogenes-the-reviewer--of real substance and depth. It's not the easy syncretism of rebellious adolescent dabblers in Eastern religion: it's mature, creative thinking by a deeply read scholar, and if you're just goofing off with "spirituality," like much of today's pop New Age devotees, you feel quickly out of your depth with this stuff. Any writer or tradition he raises for discussion, he is steeped in. Show me shallowness, Diogenes, in his discussions of Joyce or Schopenhauer, Buddhism or Christianity. Having a vast range to one's education, doesn't automatically mean one's understanding is spread thin. Let this look at a great mind and spirit inspire you, prospective Campbellians,to serious look at his work.
