16. It was necessary for the hero's awakening to his quest

The movie follows the hero's cycle: he sacrifices a tooth. Why? Because any allegory of the hero's journey requires sacrifice, like Luke Skywalker losing his hand. It is only in this awakening that the hero discovers the extent of his powers and what he must do to transform the world into a safer place. From an allegorical perspective it makes perfect sense; it is the logic of myth and dreams.
