This guy gets it ! best analysis I have seen for one of the most misunderstood scenes in the new film that I have seen , I have owned a copy of The Hero with a thousand faces since 1988 and it has been the template for the heroe’s journey in film for decades now and TlJ indeed follows the structure the structure being 1. the call to adventure , refusal of the call ,supernatural aid , the crossing of the first threshhold,the belly of the whale 2.Initiation ; the trials , the meeting with the godess, woman as the temptress, atonement with the father ,apotheosis,the ultimate boon 3.The Return;and finally , where this part of the saga leaves us …refusal of the return and the magic flight . there are many more chapters in the book with common threads to many world mythologies and religions and I believe these will come into play by episode 9…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXK2oJ3tA-8
