Analysis of Mythological Themes in Film

It's supposed to be that he is taken in by god-like entities, creatures of pure energy and intelligence with no shape or form.

And they put him in what I suppose you could describe as a human zoo to study him.

And his whole life passes from that point on in that room, and he has no sense of time.

It just seems to happen as it does in the film.

And they choose this room, which is a very inaccurate replica of French architecture, deliberately so inaccurate,

because one was suggesting that they had some idea of something that he might think was pretty,

but weren't quite sure, just as we aren't quite sure what to do in zoos with animals who try to give them what we think is their natural environment.

And anyway, when they get finished with him, as happens in so many myths of all cultures in the world,

he is transformed into some kind of super being and sent back to earth, transformed and made into some sort of superman.

And we have to only guess what happens when he goes back.

It is a pattern of a great deal of mythology, and that was what we were trying to suggest.
