Excellent post. Always loved that movie and this gives me an even deeper appreciation. And I do agree that CHARACTERS are the most important reason for why we seek out stories.
For myself, I have to say Zorro - any version, but especially the 1940 movie. Inspired me from early with the dashing adventure, chases, and sword fights. But more than that, I love the archetype of the trickster hero who masquerades as one person by day but comes out at night as the masked avenger of wrongs. Great.
I love this- and I got more and more amazed as you named all the influences and all I could do was yell (mentally- I’m in a coffee shop,lol) ME TOO!!!!!!! I think we might be soul sisters...🤨🙃
