I love to answer questions on Quora. What factors contributed to the rise in popularity of fantasy as a genre in literature and film? I believe that postmodern literature has reached its limits, necessitating the creation of a new path. Maybe postmodern literature failed to satisfy the humane quest for fantasy. Not everyone enjoys the sci-fi genre. Also, Umberto Eco made a start with The Book of Legendary Lands. “Legendary lands and places are of various kinds and have only one characteristic in common: whether they depend on ancient legends whose origins are lost in the mists of time or whether they are an effect of a modern invention, they have created flows of belief.” “Often the object of a desire, when desire is transformed into hope, becomes more real than reality itself. Out of a hope in a possible future, many people are prepared to make enormous sacrifices, and maybe even die, led on by prophets, visionaries, charismatic preachers, and spellbinders who fire the minds of their followers with the vision of a future heaven on Earth (or elsewhere).” Art – The Road to Samarkand by Thomas Thiermeyer. #Quora #quoraquestions #quoraanswers #quoramarketing https://lnkd.in/dEP6NCvF

Yesterday I gave a lecture in my son's 6th grade class on the gods and goddesses of Greek and Roman mythologies, and their representation in art and cinema. I had a great time sharing this knowledge with these enthusiastic kids! They asked many amazing questions about the stories and characters. They were completely engaged and even asked for a follow-up lecture! (and that's the best compliment of all 😊) #mythology #movies #greekmythology

"Life of Pi" offers profound insights into the human spirit and the nature of faith. The story, centered on a young boy named Pi who survives a shipwreck and is stranded on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger, explores themes of survival, resilience, and the human instinct to find meaning in life. Pi's journey reflects the struggle between reason and belief, as he uses both his intellect and spirituality to cope with his dire circumstances. The narrative demonstrates how storytelling and faith can provide solace and understanding in the face of inexplicable and harsh realities. Additionally, "Life of Pi" delves into the nature of truth and perception. The novel presents two versions of Pi's survival story: one involving fantastical elements with animals and another more brutal and realistic account. This duality challenges readers to consider the nature of truth and how individuals might choose to interpret their experiences to make sense of suffering and tragedy. Ultimately, the story suggests that faith and imagination can offer a deeper, more compassionate understanding of life's challenges, even if the literal truth remains elusive. It underscores the idea that sometimes, the stories we choose to believe in can be just as important as the facts, shaping our perspectives and helping us endure life's trials. #movies #lifeofpi #cinema #review #learnings

Legends, a mix of history and imagination, straddle the boundary between fact and fiction. Rooted in cultural storytelling, they convey traditions and beliefs, with some potentially grounded in reality. Archaeological findings may hint at truths behind legends, but their essence often remains elusive. Legends serve to explain the unexplained, reflecting societal values. The question of their reality is subjective, yet they endure as captivating narratives, adding mystery to our understanding of the past. #legends #history #storytelling
