Kal Bishop's 188 stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template. Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.
[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].
THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY
HEROINE'S JOURNEY
It is a mistake to believe that the Heroine's Journey is separate and distinct from the Hero's Journey. The Journey is about pulling the Hero through a Process of Transformation, which is not gender (or culturally) specific.
In Million Dollar Baby (Academy Award Winner Best Film, 2004) - though Maggie and Frankie both have their challenges, the process towards Apotheosis and beyond is the same.
(For the Complete 188+ stage Hero's Journey simply go to http://www.heros-journey.info/ )
ABRIDGED TIPS, EXCERPTS AND EXAMPLES:
*****Doves and Hawks*****
These are two archetypes that are for the Hero embarking on the Journey (Hawks) or against it (Doves). Both debate the pros and cons of the journey. In Alien (1979), Lambert does not want to go but Kane is keen.
Dark Side. The danger of following the Call is that it could lead to the dark side. Doves often are against the Journey, not because of any selfishness, but because of the very real threat involved. In Raging Bull (1980), the local Mafia want Jake La Motta to take a dive. He resists this call as it will surely lead to the dark side.
*****Physical Marker to the Oracle*****
A physical marker to the Oracle (or one that separates the Hero's World from that of the Oracle) is not uncommon. In Straw Dogs (1971), David opens the cupboard door to find the dead cat.
