Through the comparison, my essay’s aim is to confirm that the two trilogies and quadrilogy are about the apocalyptic myth; however their plots, heroes, villains resemble the western very much. The analysis wants to show and prove that these films are the reinterpretation of the western and their heroes are the reincarnation of western heroes. The chapters will focus on how the elements of western films appear in the apocalyptical setting; why we can say that these two myths are so similar. Then, the heroes of the films will be analyzed by asserting they are rooted in the western hero. Finally, the villains will be interpreted as they are an integral part of western and apocalyptic films, and they form a significant part in the born of the hero. Furthermore, the essay will demonstrate that these villains are exactly the villains of the western films. Although, first of all the two myths should be examined closer and shown the similarities between them.
