Cinemyth is a lens—one I keep coming back to, especially when a film hits me on a level I can’t quite explain. I chase the symbolic structures and archetypes hiding in plain sight in the films we can’t forget.
I’m not a critic. I’m not film school trained. I’m someone who watched enough films to start seeing the callbacks and echoes to older stories and got obsessed with why some stories hit harder than others. Why the most emotional beats sometimes come from the least emotional characters. Why a shot that should mean nothing keeps you up at three in the morning.
I don’t pretend to be definitive. But I’m serious about tracking how meaning works in cinema—not just on the surface, but in its bones.
My approach is film-first. I start with the film, paying attention to what's actually there, rather than arriving with a framework and looking for places to hang it. The patterns I find aren't imposed from outside. They emerge from the work itself, or from echoes of other films that did something similar first. I'm building my own ideas here, but they grow out of what I'm watching, not the other way around.
And at the end of the day, it’s rabbit holes all the way down.
