The movie "Cool Runnings" is in my top 5 favorite movies. That might sound weird, but i love it. Learning about the different myths in media made me start to think what movies fell under what myth. The coming of the messiah myth is when a "messiah" comes to a group of people and change them for the better. He turns them around. I was thinking about what movie would fall under this myth, and I decided on Cool Runnings.
Cool Runnings is a moive about a group of Jamacians that try to start a bobsled team for the winter olympics. When they make the games, they are the laughing stock of the bobsled events. They then begin to prove everyone wrong, giving the nation of Jamacia something to be proud of. in the end they don't win, but the moral of Jamacia has been turned around, and they gained respect from the greatest bobsled teams in the world. I see the bobsled team as the messiah, and they changed the lives of their country.
