Some images may be easily recognizable, and although they may have several semantic layers, these images are perceived at the level of the collective unconscious. The author considers the elements of myth, transmitted in films, as a mythologeme. The materials of the article can be useful in the course on the History of Art, Cinema, and Cultural Studies.
