Fascinating! Did you cover over other typical symbols in film school as well?
I agree, creative works find their roots in the unconscious. Fiction, mythology, art, films, books, etc can be approached in similar symbolic modes of interpretation.

Definitely. Joseph Campbell's book "The Hero With a Thousand Faces," where he describes this universal story idea of a "Hero's Journey" and his archetypes are foundational to screenwriting these days. I know he was heavily influenced by Jung.
He was indeed heavily influenced by Jung. Great to hear that Campbell's work is incorporated into film and screenwriting. I think having a grasp on symbolic and archetypal perspectives can really enrich one's art. It's also interesting how these elements can happen spontaneously via film, etc when it wasn't intentional.
