ЭТАПЫ ПУТИ ЗРЕЛОГО ГЕРОЯ КАК РЕПРЕЗЕНТАЦИЯ ИНТЕГРАЦИИ АНИМЫ: НА ПРИМЕРЕ ФИЛЬМА «МАТРИЦА: ВОСКРЕШЕНИЕ»

Abstract

The article analyzes the features of the passage of the stages of the Monomyth by a Hero with a midlife crisis. The author compares the classical stages of J. Campbell's Monomyth and the needs of the psyche of a mature man, derived by C.G. Jung in the study Archetypes and the Collective unconscious. The material for the analysis is the last film of the film franchise “The Matrix” (1999-2021), the main character of which has already realized the stages of the Monomyth in the previous parts and in “The Matrix Resurrections” (directed by L. Wachowski, 2021) found himself in a midlife crisis. When analyzing the film, the basic component for this structure was determined – the integration of the Anima archetype, which is the most important for the psychology of this age group. Significant differences from the classic Monomyth are also the increased timing of the first Act, due to several refusals of the hero from the “call” and the fear of leaving his “ordinary world”, non-classical images of the Goddess, the Woman as a temptress, a decrease in the function of the Father archetype and a specific way of interacting with the Shadow.
