One critical element of any story - as all stories involve Transformation - must be the Fish out of Water stage (technically known as the Devolved State). This is commonly seen during two stages. First, at the First Threshold where the Hero enters a New World. Second, post the Physical Separation where the Hero begins his or her Trials and Transformation. The Fish out of Water stage is seen in many of the most successful stories of our time:
a) In The Godfather (1972), Michael is initially a Fish out of Water when he arrives in Sicily.
b) In Gladiator (2000), Maximus is initially a Fish out of Water in the gladiator training camp.
c) In Departed (2006), both Billy and Colin are initially Fishes out of Water in the police department.
