Hero's Journey (Monomyth): Alien, Godfather, Star Wars

The Hero's Transformation really begins at that place called the Road of Trials / Transformation.

The Hero et al are often forced into the Road of Trials / Transformation and this portion of the Journey is known as the Physical Separation. It is often illustrated by a distinct marker.

For example:

In Alien (1979), it is the door through which Ripley will not let Ash and the others back in.

In The Godfather (1972), it is the time when Michael flees to Sicily and the papers make explicit the war between the families and the effect of having shot Captain McCluskey.

In Star Wars (1977), it is when the Millenium Falcon is forced off the planet.
