188 Stage Hero's Journey - Atonement With The Father

, Origin Of Backstory

In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.

Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.

[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].


THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY

OLD SELF, NEW SELF, MASTER OF TWO SELVES

There are three main stages of evolution (roughly mirroring three-act structure)

Initially, the Hero is an Ordinary or Old Self. The Hero is pushed from his (or her) Ordinary World into a New World.

Once in the New World, the Hero transforms into a New Self and becomes a de facto and de jure member of the New World. Then the Hero is thrust away from the New World and New Self.

Finally, the Hero is forced to confront Challenges that were unconquerable as the Old Self. These are overcome and the Hero becomes the Master of the Two Worlds and Selves.

It is important to note that the "New Self" and "Master of Two Selves" are two separate and distinct stages of evolution. For example, in Annie Hall (1977), Annie as an Old Self is shy and embarrassed. As a New Self, she is living with Alvie and becomes confident and dependent on Alvie. But as the Master of the Two Worlds and Selves, she decides to pursue a life without Alvie. These are three separate and distinct stages.

ABRIDGED TIPS, EXCERPTS AND EXAMPLES:

*****Atonement with the Father*****

The Atonement with the Father is the confrontation with the Inner Challenge. This stage often contains some mentor / father figure representative. In Straw Dogs (1971), David and Amy are in the church hall, the priest lectures and Amy has flashbacksabout the rape.

*****Origin of Backstory*****

The Hero embarks on the Journey and Transformation, not to gain a capacity, illumination, power or balance, but to regain it. It is not the attainment of a capacity that helps the Hero conquer his (or her) challenges but the reattainment of it. The backstory should be viewed as the moment when that capacity was lost and everything that led up to this point.

As such, the backstory is often where the Hero's Inner Challenges are made explicit. In Silence of the Lambs (1991), Clarice's story really begins with the lamb (which she recites to Lecter). In Midnight Cowboy (1969), Joe Buck's story begins when he is abused and his girlfriend is raped. In An Officer and a Gentleman (1983), Zach's story begins when his mother commits suicide.
