The Hero�s Journey can be viewed as simply a study of repeating patterns in successful stories and screenplays. This is incredibly useful for writers and screenwriters - it is compelling that you have a higher probability of producing quality work when you mirror those recurring patterns.
For example, in Gladiator (2000) and Dances with Wolves (1990) � both Academy Award Winners Best Film � a Mentor or Supernatural Aid observes the hero from above a hilltop (from a distance, from above, afar). In Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Marcus observes Indy from the edge of the classroom. In The Matrix (1999), Morpheus tells Neo �he has been watching him.�
Remember, we're not telling you what story to write, but we are suggesting the structural form that will make your story more effective.
