Add You - Write Screenplay: Gladiator (2000) Deconstructed
Over the past several years the over-exposure to MLM companies has created the impression that MLM businesses are illegal or fraudulent. MLM has gotten a bad rap because of this.

Transformation (Road of Trials): Proximo forces Maximus to learn the art of the gladiator until he transforms to the leader and best of the best.
The Idea
Recently I was discussing tricks to getting your resume noticed at Starbucks with a professional resume writer. She was indeed a humorous typesetter, editor, writer type with a new wave attitude and spiritual displacement. What a kick she was, we were having a good old time and I stated I had written just a few article on resume writing and she said; You shoul
The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.
Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.
The Hero's Journey:
a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

c) Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.

Sample Movie Deconstructed: Gladiator (2000)
Call to Adventure: Marcus Aurelius asks Maximus to give Rome back to the people.
Refusal of the Call: Maximus refuses – he wishes to return home to his wife and child.
Supernatural Aid: Maximus asks advice from Cicero; he treasures the statuette (magical gift) during this stage of the journey. But the real mentor is Proximo, who is met during the stage of the Transformation /Road of Trials.
Crossing the First Threshold: Maximus is taken away to be murdered by the Roman soldiers; he travels home to find his wife and child murdered (NO Way Back).

Transformation (Road of Trials): Proximo forces Maximus to learn the art of the gladiator until he transforms to the leader and best of the best.
The Ideal

The Idea
The average Minnesotan may have noticed it last spring (2005). The real estate signs popped up right on schedule with the spring tulips just as the snow melted and ground thawed. Soon neighborhoods were filled with signs advertising new listings and open houses. But as Memorial Day came and went, many Twin City residents began to question why the house down th
