Vogler, Christopher. The Writers Journey. 3rd edition. Studio City: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007
Summary: In this section of the book Vogler shows how the hero's journey relates to different movies and how they fit in. One movie he uses is Titanic. He shows how the movie titanic has two hero's journeys going on at the same time and how important the two journeys are important and how the stories effect the audience. Vogler also puts the other characters into there spots as far as the journey is consider. Jack is considered a hero a catalyst because he basically remains unchanged throughout the entire story but he does help others change. Rose is considered the damsel in distress and is compared to sleeping beauty and snow white, but throughout the movie she changes. Another movie that is used to show the way the hero's journey fits in is the Lion King. Vogler shows how the lion King had some plots taken from Hamlet. He also takes about how Mufasa's death is very similar to the way scar died which I found interesting. This section shows how specific characters have certain roles. For example Rafiki being the mentor and the trickster. Vogler also discusses how Simba the cute young lion cub has many mentors such as his father Zazu, Rafiki, and Timon and Pumba.
Reaction: I really found it interesting to see how the movie Titanic had two hero's journeys going on at the same time. In most movies I notice that there are to small plots going on at the same time but the eventually get intertwined. I never knew how the movie the Lion King had so many different mentors and how they each effected the adorable lion Simba.
Questions
What other movies if any have 2 hero's journeys going on at the same time. Does this help make the movie Titanic more interesting and captivating?
Could Nala be considered a mentor?
Do other Disney movies fallow the heroes journeys? How does the movie Beauty and The Beast do it, the little mermaid and snow white.
