188 Stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) - Antagonist's Lieutenants

FORWARD

The 188 phase Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the templet upon which the huge bulk of successful narratives and Film Industry blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the 100s of Film Industry movies we have got deconstructed (see uniform resource locator below) are based on this 188+ phase template.

Understanding this templet is a precedence for narrative or screenwriters. This is the templet you must get the hang if you are to win in the craft.

[The nomenclature is most often metaphorical and uses to all successful narratives and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hallway (1977) to Godhead of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocalypse Now (1979)].

THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY

THE 188 phase HERO'S JOURNEY:

a) Attempts to tap into unconscious outlooks the audience have regarding what a narrative is and how it should be told.

b) Gives the author more structural elements than simply three or four acts, secret plan points, mid point and so on.

c) Gives you a tangible procedure for edifice and releasing disagreement (establishing and achieving catharses, of which there are usually four).

d) Tells you what to write. For example, at a certain phase of the story, the focusing should be on the Call to Adventure and the micro elements within.

*****Ultimate Boon*****

The look and consequence of the conquering of the Inner Challenge. In Bonnie and Clyde (1967), "...I'm your household now..."; they have got sex.

*****Fourth Catharsis*****

One of the Antagonist's Lieutenants (who may be the Shape Shifter) may look from nowhere and be quickly vanquished. In Die Hard (1988), Karl looks from under the sheet and takes the officer's gun.

In the Chemical Bond franchise, the 3rd katharsis is (sometimes) the licking of the Antagonist's wicked program and the 4th katharsis is the licking of the Adversary himself. In Goldfinger (1964), Chemical Bond have to undertake the airplane pilot - who turns out to be Goldfinger. [the normal construction is retained in Diamonds are Forever].

This phase of the Journey sometimes manifests itself with the surprise turning of the Shape Shifter. In Star Wars (1977), Han Dynasty returns.
