Academy Award Winner Best Films
We've analysed EVERY Academy Award winner / nominee and they ALL follow the:
510+ or 2000+ stage Hero's Journey And Transformation Through A New World / State template.
You need to ask yourself WHY this MUST be so. To answer that, you need to get your head around the 510+ or 2000+ stage Hero's Journey And Transformation Through A New World / State template.
These illustrate a number of principles: the process is a) gender independent, b) genre independent and c) number of archetypes (ensemble) independent. Further, that great stories are created by superimposing various situations over the same structure; that originality is not limited by structure.
These are also viewable on the Academy Award / Oscar Winner Blog
