The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure For Writers - Christopher Vogler [FULL INTERVIEW]

[@shadowmossentertainment7430]

Over the years I've watched hundreds of videos on filmmaking. Film Courage continues to be an important part of my maturation as a filmmaker. So many of these excellent interviews have contributed to my learning and advancement; particularly as a screenwriter. We never get to see the interviewer, but she has a warmth and inviting voice, asks great and relevant questions, is patient, non-judgmental, fun and moves the interview along. It's fascinating to see which videos get the greatest number of views. Regardless, none of the interviews lack merit to someone striving to make movies. Thank you, Film Courage.

Thank you. It took me 3 hours as there were plenty of notes to take.

[@filmcourage]

Oh, good to hear!

[@TalesFromSchwarzwald]

One of the best summaries on mythological archetypes out there! Thank you very much for such an amazing interview with Mr. Vogler!

[@filmcourage]

We are proud to share this one!

[@cchoi108]

Great questions for Mr Vogler! Naturally we've all read his work a million times lol, but your questions really brought out a lot of dimensions. That was a phenomenal 10 Minute summary. I'm going to transcribe that bit and use it as my guide.

[@danieljackson654]

A magical two hours well spent. Thank you. It is always good to dip in the River of Creative Intelligence on a periodic basis.

[@filmcourage]

Great to hear! Thank you for your continued support Daniel!

[@filmcourage]

Please share any of your thoughts here

[@ernestocaro9802]

Excellent video (as usual) I love the way he breaks down every type of character

[@catchyovibe]

Your best questions are the authentic ones you ask on the spot. The questions you write down for guests need more sauce, they are dry.

[@WritingSources-oo7yj]

woooow this is epic. I read his book. and now a full length interview!!

[@filmcourage]

Great! We hope you find some added insights here.

[@cloveleeproductions]

Thanks for watching!

[@BetweenTheFog]

Amazing interview - film courage is so valuable to writers/filmmakers.

[@filmcourage]

Love this one!

[@AskStevenBlack]

Here’s one that’s rarely talked about… self v self conflict being way different as a journey than self v external force. I’d love to hear his thoughts on that.

[@v_vlps]

Thank you thank you thank you, I really needed this full interview ❤ helped me a lot

[@filmcourage]

We are grateful for our time with Mr. Vogler! It is a privilege to hear his insights into life and storytelling.

[@NicoleMorris-x1o]

This video was so well-crafted.

[@CarolynatheRambler]

Wow, this information is incredibly inspiring and insightful. Thank you so very much for sharing. I'm a wanna be writer who's been stuck in Writers Block World. I feel like I can write again if I listen to this again, as it gives me a better understanding overall. Love this.....

📚 Great Learning about Mythical Archetypes, creating Stories of Heroes and Fairy Tales 📺 👏 Christopher Vogler is an Iconic Writer, instrumental towards the success of Walt Disney and similar movies.

The man himself!

The Indian documentary about birds that Chris speaks of around the 1:38:00 mark is Shaunak Sen's 'All that breathes' :) ♥️

[@chrismahan]

This is fantastic! Thank You!

[@filmcourage]

You got it Chris!

Great show!

[@filmcourage]

Thank you so much Shadia!

[@loveall101]

Love the Hero's Journey! Have any of you listened to the podcast, "The Ancient Tradition"? I just listened to a fascinating episode where they tie the "Hero's Journey" to a cosmic battle in the Heavens. Very, very interesting...in light of Joseph Campbell's research....OH, AND IT EVEN MENTIONS THIS GUY- Christopher Vogler!

[@filmcourage]

Sounds like a good listen!

[@brianm37]

Wow the OG here

[@cchoi108]

Lol yeah the GOAT himself.

[@danglingconversation]

Very useful and insightful video. I can say as someone from India, that some of the themes he touches upon are universally applicable. Similar to the video by a song writer who speaks of the archetypes. We know why we are allured to Alice in Wonderland in different stages of life - she is someone not only intrigued by the world but actively pursues problem-solving.

[@geoffreynhill2833]

Mr Vogler is so right about American heroes. Try English hero Tommy Atherstone in "Green Fire", IngramSpark, Geoff Nelson Hill. 😉

[@athousandgreatbooks]

Is there an anti-hero's journey? How does it depart from the stages of the hero's journey? Asking for a tragedy.

[@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858]

When, in life, catalyst isn't used, opportunities can dry up. The anti-hero is he whose life, intended for joy, turns sour. It's not fun to watch a life be wasted.

[@athousandgreatbooks]

​@@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858pictorially, I'm seeing hero's journey as a V or a valley, and the anti hero's journey as an inverted V like a hill.

[@v_vlps]

​@@athousandgreatbooksthat's a very interesting thought. Can you think of some examples in any movie? I'm curious, and particularly drawn to antiheroes 🙈

[@ToxicTurtleIsMad]

There is. There is a magnificient short story by the Turkish author refik Halit Karay that would translate as "Peach Gardens". I would advise you to check it out after reading on the transition from the ottoman empire to the Turkish republic. There are probably more conventional examples but this comes to my mind. Edit: I think I misunderstood your question. You are asking about the journey of an anti-hero. I gave the example as an anti heros-journey. But still, its a short read if you can find it.

[@ToxicTurtleIsMad]

If you can find an english pdf that is..

[@BlackMita]

Hero

[@ambrosewetherbee8301]

Joseph Campbell's work, specifically The Hero with A Thousand Faces, should be required reading for all writers.

[@align2source]

💚

[@passportandbeer]

Would like to see a Heroines Journey interview

[@RaikenXion]

the "hero's journey" applies to both *Men* and *Women* in equal terms.

[@davidagiel8130]

The root origin of every mythology is the sun and its 12 characters.

[@artemisnite]

How appropriate that the Wicked Witch of the West is sugar. Looking at you, Coca Cola bottling company...
