But it showed he had the chance for a change, with his daughter and the heart of gold stripper but old habits die hard

Lmao everybody has a chance to change. I’m not hating on the movie, I loved it but I don’t really see the heroes journey in it personally

He ain't a hero lol its a tragedy not heros journey

Lol fam the homie ITT is the one who just said Darren said ALL his films uses the heroes journey. That’s why I was tryna figure it out.

Also heroes journey isn’t exclusive to only heroes.

Lol I see, don't see it myself

Mother was just pure insanity not really a journey other than an acid trip

Yea I don’t either. But even with Mother I guess Darren said he utilizes the heroes journey in it too 🤷🏽‍♂️

Actually on 2nd thought I might see it with Mother. Her letting the ppl come in her house was definitely a journey into the “unknown special world”

Same for requiem for a dream, these movies tend to end tragically due to the main characters really changing lol

no recording. I have notes from it I can find if you want em. (Give me some time I’m not in NY atm - where my notes are)

Wuuuuuuhhhhh I don't remember that part, I remember her the whole time begging them to leave and freaking out till everything gets destroyed lmao

Mother! Was great wish it got more love

Darren's Reviews
"I'm totally part of his cult. Because I believe in that hero’s journey." - Source

From Aronofsky’s piece:

The Writer’s Journey, Christopher Vogler. It’s the Bible for screenwriters. I think it’s the best book on how to write a screenplay ever written. It helped me get through so many roadblocks as a writer.

Vogler adapted the work of Joseph Campbell, an American academic, to the art of screenwriting. Vogler’s approach to screenwriting was based on Campbell’s theory that, because of myths, the arc of a hero’s journey was a story ingrained deeply inside all of us. I really incorporated his ideas and techniques into how I structured films—I referred to it a lot.

By the time I became a working filmmaker, Vogler had become larger than life to me. When another filmmaker I know well—Scott Silver, who wrote The Fighter and is an old friend from film school—told me he had met with Vogler, I nearly had a heart attack. I thought: Whoa, you can actually talk to him! So I eventually got in touch myself. He gave me some feedback on some drafts. I got to hang out with him socially, and he’s become a friend.

I teach sometimes, and always say that The Writer’s Journey is the first book that everyone’s got to read.

It was promoted as a standard horror/thriller, ppl weren't ready to get mind f***ed like that lol

Reminds me of when vanilla sky was promoted as a "crazy ex frames Tom cruise" thriller lol

Yeah fam I would love to read the notes whenever you got time to post 🙏🏽

Darren deff wanna my favs

That’s what I mean, the people entering her house was a “entering the new world” because normally no one was allowed in the house
