Hero's Journey: From Idea to Story and Screenplay
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.
Consider this:
o Titanic (1997) grossed over $600,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template.
o Star Wars (1977) grossed over $460,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template.
o Shrek 2 (2004) grossed over $436,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template.
o ET (1982) grossed over $434,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template.
o Spiderman (2002) grossed over $432,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template.
o Out of Africa (1985), Terms of Endearment (1983), Dances with Wolves (1990), Gladiator (2000) - All Academy Award Winners Best Film are based on the Hero's Journey.
o Anti-hero stories (Raging Bull (1980), Goodfellas (1990) etc) are all based on the Hero's Journey.
o Heroine's Journey stories (Million Dollar Baby (2004), Out of Africa (1980) etc) are all based on the Hero's Journey.
From Idea to Story and Screenplay
The core of every story is the Apotheosis: the insight, illumination or revelation that the hero undergoes. For example, in Raging Bull (1980), Jake La Motta learns that Joey (his brother) has been sleeping with his Vickie (his wife).
Pre the Apotheosis is the Atonement with the Father: the confrontation with that that prevents the Apotheosis. Using Raging Bull again (1980), Jake's apotheosis results from his confrontation with Joey.
To convert an idea into a story and screenplay then, one needs the apotheosis and the atonement with the father. With that, the writer can build up to and beyond.
One effective method of progressing from idea to story, is to treat your idea as the Apotheosis and build around the Hero's Journey structure. For example:
a) In Casablanca (1942), Rick's insight is that if you love someone, you sacrifice yourself for their happiness. That sacrifice can include selling your most prized material possessions (he sells his bar), allowing your love to find happiness in another's arms (he ultimately allows Ilsa to be with Victor), physical suffering (it is likely that his ultimate actions will see him to a concentration camp), leaving dear friends (he will have to leave Sam behind) and forced exile from home and heart (he will have to leave Casablanca). He learns this insight from both Ilsa and Victor, who are prepared to do the same for each other.
b) In Al Pacino Scarface (1983), Tony Montana's insight is that the rewards of the path he's chosen are not worth the spiritual price he is paying, expressed with the words (in the restaurant scene): "is this it? Is that what it's all about Manny? Eating, drinking, f*cking, sucking," "no free rides in this world kid," "I lost my appetite," "is that what I worked for? With these hands? Is that what I killed for? For this?"

What are the stages of the anti hero's journey?
I'm doing an ISU presentation on Arthas: Rise of the Lich King and I want to use the anti hero's journey to present this book. What are the stages of the anti hero's journey? Are they the same as the hero's journey?
