Pitch Perfect: Hero's Journey
The movie Pitch Perfect is a great example of the Hero’s Journey, without being too obvious.

Becca begins the Bellas’ training for the acapella group competition, beginning her rivalry with the leader, Aubrey. Also, Becca is falling for Jesse, a member of their rival group, the Treblemakers, which is the most important rule and could of gotten her kicked out of the group.

    Back To The Future Hero's Journey

    Joseph Campbell noticed recurring events take place in a certain pattern in most hero myths. This is referred to as the monomyth theory. Notably, Back to the Future is one of the many films which follow the pattern. Back to the Future is a classic science-fiction film that tells the story of Marty McFly, a teenage kid growing up in the fictional town of Hill Valley, California, alongside his parents, Lorraine and George and two siblings. Marty’s life seems pretty normal but when his longtime friend—the mad-scientist Doc Brown—invents a time machine, Marty is forced to embark on an adventure that requires him to go back in time to save his friend, rescue his family, and alter the course of history! In Back to the Future, Marty McFly displays characteristics of a hero such as: perseverance, remaining focused and bravery while undertaking the Hero’s Journey.…

    Archetype In Hero's Journey

    A movie that I have seen that has a “Hero’s Journey archetype plot pattern” is Moana. It starts when she learns that there is an awful thing going on other islands and she is intrigued to go and explore beyond the reefs, which is the call to Adventure. She also gets lots of unconditional love when her ancestors appear, guide the path, and previously her grandma showed lots of support. But then the refusal to call hits fast when Moana wants to leave but her dad rejects and says to be happy where you are.…

    The Hero's Journey Analysis

    Every story needs a hero, right? For centuries authors and poets have included this essential character into their work. Without knowing literature has been seldom following the same archetype, The Hero’s Journey. Joseph Campbell discovered that most stories follow this pattern which is why he dubbed it the monomyth. Through years of studying he found that this popular motif is made up of ten basic steps that a hero follows through a story. Well known film writer and director George Lucas molded the film Star Wars around Campbell’s monomyth not only with intent but quite distinctively. Lucas is not the only one doing this in Hollywood either, many screenwriters and directors have caught on to this including Andrew Stanton as he depicted his version of the monomyth in Finding Nemo. This animated film follows the archetype laid out in Joseph Campbell’s, The Hero With a Thousand Faces.…

    The Hero's Journey: An Analysis

    Western and nonwestern heroes come from different regions of the world; therefore, have different cultural backgrounds. More specifically, western heroes come from the Greco-Roman or Judeo-Christian traditions. Nonwestern heroes come from other parts of the world that would not associate with these traditions. While these heroes might seem to have little in common when it comes to origin, “The Hero’s Journey” by Joseph Campbell demonstrates that all heroes have “similar patterns” (Campbell). However by examining the non-western hero, Mulan, in “The Ballad of Mulan” demonstrates how this figure is different than the hero outlined in Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero’s Journey” in the following ways, Mulan does not have any kind of “supernatural aid”, “tests that lead to the final showdown”, or a “life-changing experience for her or many others” (Campbell).…

    Disney Hero's Journey

    In ancient Greece and Rome, a hero was set apart by their strength and their achievements, which far surpassed ordinary mortals. These heroes were demi-gods of half-mortal, half-divine percentage. In order to be seen as a true hero, he followed what they called the ‘hero pattern’, beginning with his origin, followed by his journey. His journey is then divided into 3 distinct parts; separation or departure, penetration of the power source, and finally the return or reintegration. Today, we don’t have such high expectations. Our heroes don’t have to follow any extensive ‘hero pattern’, as long as he is simply a man of perfection; courageous, intelligent, selfless, handsome, etc. When comparing the stories of our Greek heroes traditionally versus…

    Everlost Hero's Journey

    Although there are quite a few skeptics who believe ghosts do not exist, those who do may wonder what the earth is like to such trapped souls. In Neal Shusterman’s The Skinjacker Trilogy he answers the question of what the ghost world may be like, but with an imaginative drive, and this limbo between life and “where one goes after death” is limited. This is a breakdown of key concepts in the limbo; the “realm” is called Everlost, and only children and teens can cross into it. In Everlost, souls are called Afterlights, and some may have certain abilities depending on the strength and the will of his or her spirit or the condition in which he or she had been when crossing into Everlost. In Everlost, the living world is not only a blur, but can…

    The Outsiders - Heros

    The book ‘The Outsiders’ by S.E. Hinton is a story told from the perspective of a 14 year old boy named Ponyboy set in South West America. In the novel he faces social division, gang warfare, hatred and violence. One example is Dally is a hero because he looked after his friends when they needed him. In a way, all of the Greasers are pioneers in their individual ways, but some more than others. People are also heroes for different reasons.
