One element of the most successful stories and screenplays is that the task / transformation is or seems to be impossible (and this is made explicit in a specific sequence). In fact, it may seem downright suicidal. This is one of the elements of a Hero - an Ordinary person could not succeed.
The "Impossibleilty Sequence" may or may not be part of the "Devolved State" state sequence - where it is demonstrated how far the Hero has to go / how much a Hero is a Fish out fo Water.
This is seen in some of the most successful stories of our time:
In Dances with Wolves (1990), John is told that going to the frontier is madness; the Indians are dangerous.
In Never Ending Story (1984), Bastian doesn�t believe the book is special and can open a door to a new world.
In The Godfather (1972), that Michael could become DOn was unlikely.
