Is Gilligan a hero?
Is Gilligan a Hero?
My 10-year-old son and I are watched the first season DVD of Gilligan's Island. The show brought me real joy! Gilligan's Island is art in my opinion. It shows how ordinary people can be heroes and have fun.
As I said in my book what our American and global culture needs are heroes as models. Steve Ditko, the artist and co-creator of Spider-Man says:
"Aristotle said that art is more important than history. History tells how man did act. Art shows how man should and could act. It creates a model. "The self-flawed and anti-hero provide the heroic label without the need to act better. A crooked cop, a flawed cop, is not a valid model of a good law enforcer. An anti-cop corrupts the legal good, and an anti-hero corrupts the moral good."
