Unsung hero: how culture influences movies and
storytelling
¹ Have you ever been immersed in a film, TV show, or book
and thought, "Wow, this feels so Japanese"? (or American, or
French, or Chinese…?) There are so many ways our cultures
differ when it comes to storytelling! A culture's values and
beliefs shape the very foundation of their stories, from their
underlying ideas and themes to the individuals who inhabit
their worlds.
² Maybe you’re familiar with "The American Dream": the
hope of achieving success through hard work, determination,
and initiative. Because U.S. culture values self-reliance and
personal autonomy, stories often focus on a single
protagonist who has to overcome personal challenges and
external obstacles to succeed. In the end, the hero is
transformed and emerges a stronger, more resilient version
of themselves.
³ Even imagining what a hero should be reflects the values
and beliefs of each society, and nearly every culture has their
own brand of hero! For example, back in Japan, heroes often
prioritize the greater good over their own desires,
showcasing the importance of duty and self-sacrifice in
Japanese culture. In Britain, heroes are often characterized
by their honor, chivalry, and intelligence (think: Sherlock
Holmes and Hermione Granger). British heroes often
showcase their wit, wisdom, and willingness to stand up for
what's right. In South Africa, heroes are celebrated for their
courage, resilience, and commitment to justice.
