I am a huge film buff, and an aspiring novelist, so this book was a very natural read for me. It does a great job of translating the inner workings of plot in film to various literary archetypes, making it very easy for me to understand how these archetypes can be applied to writing a novel in almost every genre. I definitely recommend this one. I do wish that the book provided a better summary of the archetypes in the prologue or first chapter, so that was this book's major drawback. I read this a few weeks ago, so I cannot recall the name of the author's previous book that does provide these definitions. So, you may want to do some research into this aspect of the author's previous works and read other reviews to obtain that title, as this book seems to be a companion piece to its predecessor. Still, the author does provide enough information here to make this book a valid stand-alone reference. ### ⭐⭐⭐ OK for the perceptually challenged. *by S***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 10, 2000* The "information" contained in this book as well as itsclose relative, Vogler's 'The Writer's Journey, may be of use to some readers and aspiring writers, but it should not bemistaken for "knowledge"--the internalized recognition ofpatterns and archetypes acquired as a result of experiencing theoriginal texts. It was only AFTER I had noticed repeated themes andstructures in The Odyssey, The Aeneid, Beowulf, The Divine Comedy,Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, Heart of Darkness that the similardiscoveries of great teachers like Freud, Jung, Weston, Frazer, andCampbell confirmed a sense of the unity (despite the arguments of thepost-structuralists) of human experience and great literature. Soonit became impossible not to see "It's a Wonderful Life" and"The Maltese Falcon" as anything other than variations ofthe same story.And now we've got these patterns codified andreduced to skeletal formula, empty maps practically offered assurrogates for the actual experience itself. I seriously question ifthe consumer of these reductive catalogs and outlines will, likeColeridge's Mariner, emerge "sadder but wiser" or, likeConrad's Marlowe, glimpse the underlying "horror" ofcivilization in all its irony and mystery.In sum: Reader's Digestculture for the new age. ### ⭐⭐⭐ I am quite disappointed with this book *by E***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2015* I am quite disappointed with this book. The analyses are not very true to Campbell's ideas at all, which are used as a Procrustean bed to squeeze every movie into a hero journey, whether it fits or not. Using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS to name each REFUSAL and MENTOR and THRESHOLD gets very annoying, and adds little value to the explanations. I have my students do analyses of popular films using Campbell's ideas, and many of them are more insightful than this book. I was hoping that this would help me locate more movies that will work for my class, but since he completely omits the concept of Atonement with the Father, it doesn't seem to get the concept of what the hero journey is really about at all.
