Jungiánský archetyp v současné západní k inematografii aneb forma a obsah filmového vyprávění o archetypech / Jungian shadow archetype in contemporary western cinema

The main topic of this diploma thesis is the form and content of jungian shadow archetype in
contemporary western cinema. In the first chapters it introduces the basic concepts of
analytical psychology, which will be used as the principal method for analysis of the selected
films (Fight Club, Game, Black Swan, Fisher King). The key concept is that in the core of each
story are hidden archetypal contents. According to jungians these are the main force behind
emotional response of audience. In films they can be portrayed either directly ? by
personification into a film characters whose numinosity is supported by film language ? or
indirectly ? by narrative elements and character's functions. The thesis concentrates on both
options and analyzes formal means which express psychic nature of the selected film's
elements. It defines three phases of ego-shadow relationship which are vaguely similar to
three acts structure. It examines shadow archetype's function in the story and in human
psychology as well. The results are put into context of jungian concepts. Rather than creating
a complex system, the thesis outlines another option how to think about film and film
language, which is deeply rooted in human psychology.
