Wikipedia -Joseph Campbell's interest in Native American culture and mythology led to his study and mapping of the cohesive threads in mythology that appear to exist among even disparate human cultures.
Thomas Mann Linguistics
"One of the greatest storytellers of our time, and arguably the greatest
mythologist, Joseph Campbell spent most of his long, rich career
explaining how ancient myths like the Hero's Journey are relevant to
modern life. In understanding the importance of myth as a vital,
vibrant source of "mankind's one great story," Campbell inspired others
to embark on a quest for the meaning of myth in their own lives
 . This
biographical portrait, filmed shortly before his death in 1987, follows
Campbell's personal quest—a pathless journey of questioning, discovery,
and ultimately of delight and joy in a life to which he said, "Yes."
"Mom? Well -if there's only one God how come there's so many religions?' - Young George Lucas comes to the conclusion "...All the religions are true they just see different parts of the elephant."
George Lucas talks about his film Starwars through the glasses of Campbellian Myth. An easy introduction to the underlying narratives that exist in all cultures.
