All in all, this strong perception created among the audience
should finally promote the successful sense of fantasy and the popularity of
the two films.

To provide the clarity of the summary of the findings above,
more explanations and examples are illustrated below.

1. Metaphor. The findings indicated that metaphor expresses
four major fantasy senses, namely, superpower, supernatural, universal value
and romance (by hero). Evidence indicated that metaphor seems to help
create more vivid pictures of messages with shared common background

knowledge between the author and the audience. Some examples of these
fantasy pictures include 1) the power of God, the superhuman ability of the
hero; 2) the supernatural sense beyond normal practice of common people
related to religious beliefs, the legend between Gods and mankind; 3) certain
social values, especially those that are universal values such as human

relationships and principles in government; 4) the sense of the hero’s
romance characterized by his strong ability in battle with a great sense of
protection.

Three prominent examples from the two films shown below
exemplify the use of metaphors that express the fantasy sense of superpower
and a universal value of human relationship.

(1) People : Hey, the Lion of Persia! The Lion of Persia!
Tus : They're calling you the Lion of Persia. You've never
excelled at following orders, Dastan.....
Context: People show their admiration
in the hero after he won the battle.
