188+ Stages of the Hero's Journey (Monomyth, Screenwriting)- Leaving the Old World by Kal Bishop
FORWARD
The 188 stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. 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
THE 188 STAGE HERO'S JOURNEY involves a number of major phases, including:
a) The arrival from Another World into an Ordinary World.
b) The Ordinary Self, that has come about as a result of being in the Ordinary World.
c) The encouragement from the Ordinary World into a New World.
d) The gradual dissolution of the Old Self.
e) The becoming of the New Self.
f) The thrusting away from the New Self and New World.
g) The confrontation with challenges.
h) The mastering of the Old and New Worlds and Selves.

ABRIDGED TIPS, EXCERPTS AND EXAMPLES:
LEAVING THE OLD WORLD
The Hero's entry into a New World is an important aspect of the Hero's Journey. But so is the leaving of the Old World.
Many tools and symbols are used to represent the leaving of the Old World and an important one is burial.
In Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), Jill buries McBain and the children.
In The Godfather (1972), Don Corleone wants all his sons to pay their respects to the dying Consigliere.
In Elizabethtown (2005), Drew goes to a funeral.
