Cinema, Media and Society: Futuristic perceptions - three iconic scientific fictions and their main characters

This article examines three works of Science Fiction, each one relevant for the time period in which they were created and also of their timeless character: Metropolis (1927), of Fritz Lang, Matrix (1999), of Lily e Lana Wachowski, and Arrival (2016), of Denis Villeneuve. The goal is to analyze their main characters, through the ideas of Chatman and The Hero´s Journey of Campbell (1988), and establish a parallelism between the characters in the three films. For this purpose, the narratology method is utilized.
