Jungian Analysis of The Fountain: Mithraic Wheel, the Ring, and the Symbolic Threshold | Part 3

In this video (Part 3 of the Jungian analysis of Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain), we dive deep into the film’s key symbols:

The Mithraic Wheel – from its Iranian roots to its modern cinematic reimagining

The Ring – linking Mithraism, eternity, and Jungian archetypes

Mandala and Yin-Yang – representing the union of opposites in the human psyche

The Threshold and its Guardians – the hero’s path and readiness to enter the sacred realm

This analysis, through a Jungian and psychoanalytic lens, explores how Aronofsky uses archetypes and mythological symbols to reconstruct the hero’s journey and the quest for immortality.

If you are interested in Jungian psychology, mythological symbolism, and film analysis from the perspective of the unconscious, this video is for you.
