All of This Will Be Set to an Orchestral Score by John Williams

Stumbled upon this website yesterday. The authors have deconstructed nearly 200 films into the (in)famous Hero's Journey outline, pioneered by Joseph Campbell, made the touchstone of all things film by one George Lucas. Not only does the site include the various readings, but also explanations of every stage of the Hero's Journey, citing examples from two or more films. Depending upon your point of view, it's either an amazing reference piece, or a grand monument to squandering time. Personally, I dig it.


No, this isn't how the breakdowns look. They just had this posted on their home page and it made me grin.
