Kal Bashir's Hero's Journey: The Psychology of Story and Screenplays

The psychological view of story reverses the common perception of it.

For example, it seems that in DIE HARD (1988), the terrorists are a problem and McClane has to get rid of them. Well, that's true. But from the psychological point of view (POV), the reverse is also true - the terrorists turn up to help McClane solve his personal problems. And from the specific hero's journey / monomyth POV, to help McClane overcome his inner fear.

For example, it seems that in JAWS (1975), the shark is  a problem and Brody has to get rid of it. Well, that's true. But from the psychological POV, the reverse is also true - the shark turns up to help Brody solve his personal problems. And from the specific hero's journey / monomyth POV, to help Brody overcome his inner fear.

The Hero's Journey and Transformation through a New World/State is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. Learn about this at http://www.clickok.co.uk/index4.html
