Mythical Characters of Fantasy Movies

Mythical Characters of Fantasy Movies

Fantasy movies are one of my favourite film genres, because they bring amazing mythical characters to life that doesn’t exist here in the real world. Here I would like to share few of my favourite mythical characters ever.

What is Myth?

A myth is a traditional story, which may describe the origins of the world and/or of a people. A myth is an attempt to explain mysteries, supernatural events, and cultural traditions. Sometimes sacred in nature, a myth can involve gods or other creatures.

These are the few characters that i favour the most.

 

a. Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter movies - this loveable wise wizard represent a  great magical mentor himself.  Dumbledore is the best wizard in the world of fantasy movies.

b. Tinkerbell from 'Hook' - it's nice to get to hear Tinkerbell talk and express herself. (Plus

     everyone knows that fairies are the best mythical characters.)

 c. Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia - the Great Lion, is the creator and one true king of the

     world of Narnia, and generally a figure of all that is good.

d. Legolas from The Lord of The Rings - is an Elf of the Woodland Realm and one of nine   

    members of the Fellowship of the Ring.

e. Captain Jack Sparrow from The Pirates of the Caribbean  -  most notable characteristic is his swaggering walk, which has often been described as slightly drunken. His speech is slurred and he seems to be in a constant state of disorientation and confusion and his extravagant persona which makes the character alive.

All the characters I have mention above are very familiar with the students and it gives me opportunity to adopt and adapt these stories and characters as my teaching material in the classroom. I bet my students will enjoy this teaching and learning session.
