The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.

a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.
b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.
c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharsis).
d) Gives you a universal structural template upon which you can superimpose your situational story.

The Magical Gift does not have to be Ruby Slippers or Harry Potter's Wand. In Wall Street (1987), Bud Fox visits his father, who simply provides advice and money. In Gladiator (2000), Maximus finds strength from a statuette. In American Beauty (1999), Ricky Fitts gives Lester Burnham a joint.
