The present text is the fruit of the study of kinetic language in modern times, in the light of the archetypal theory, one of the pillars of support of the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung. The work is developed in 3 (three) divisions. The first one has the scope of analyzing, in a qualitative way, the language of cinema. In the second line, the essential elements of analytical psychology developed by Jung, in counterpart to Freud's psychoanalysis, are demonstrated, in which the theory of archetypes is clarified as symbols of the psyche, making a connection with the myths of cinema. With the aim of granting applicability to the theme, the paper seeks to highlight in a last segment the study of some archetypes of national cinema, in particular, the black one that today has been present alongside afro culture, in a remarkable way in Brazilian cinematography; in addition to being exposed some exemplary cases of cinematical archetypes of national films, feature films, emphasizing the answers as to the relevance of these myths of national cinema, as a form of universal kinetic language.
