The way of the warrior: Realising the mythic warrior-hero in the action genre and in Australian cinema

The Way of the Warrior, Realising the Mythic Warrior-hero in the Action genre and in Australian Cinema, is Creative Practice research that pursues detailed analysis of the warrior-hero in Australian and, action genre cinema narratives. Warrior-hero archetypes are employed in the original Australian feature screenplay Behold a Pale Horse in order to address whether it is possible to synthesise the Warrior-hero archetype with the tropes, codes and conventions of the Action genre in an Australian context and create an original screenplay with the potential for both critical and commercial success
