The archetype → jung’s archetypes (the mother….yada)
In mythology what are the archetypes?
Rolling a rock constantly up a hill, knowing it’s going to come down again
Path to the end of suffering → can take many lifetimes to reach the end, till the cycle of rebirths (like my film, a cycle of rebirth)
The wheel of life, or "samsara", is an ancient symbol that has the same meaning in Buddhism and Hinduism. It is symbolises the cycle of birth, life, and death. When one revolution of the wheel is completed, life begins again with rebirth.
Need to find an 8 spoke wheel
Open with the turning of the wheel, end with the rest of the wheel…keep getting farther and farther away from it, things get blurry (tight with the camera then go out and up)
Archetypal Mother: Intimately known and yet strange like Nature, lovingly tender and yet cruel like fate, joyous and untiring giver of life--mater dolorosa and mute implacable portal that closes upon the dead.
Cornucopia, sheaves of wheat, autumn harvest, torch, bread, honey, and acorns –BREAD, SHEAVES OF WHEAT (symbols of the goddess mother)
Father is like Saturn…archetypal father → omnipotence, devouring his children
