The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters:

The Hero's Journey:

• Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

• Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

• Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.

The Hero's Journey is also a study of repeating patterns in successful stories and screenplays. It is compelling that screenwriters have a higher probability of producing quality work when they mirror the recurring patterns found in successful screenplays.

The Hero's Journey is also a study of conventions. Before screenwriters can decide whether to accept or reject the conventions, they must appreciate their purpose and value.

Consider this:

• Titanic (1997) grossed over $600,000,000 – uses the Hero's Journey as a template.

Once the Hero has entered the World of the Transformation, there tends to be a specific sequence polarizing the hero from his antagonisms.

In Elizabethtown (2005), Drew faces his uncle et al...they want a burial and his side of the family want a cremation. He is from "California."

In Star Wars (1977), Darth Vader explicitly infers that Obi Wan has come to face him.

In The Matrix (1999), Matrix and Cypher interact - Cypher assumes that Neo would have taken the other pill if he had the chance again - inferring his desire to return and the lead up to the betrayal.
