Whiplash and the Monomyth

As this project was assigned I was very excited about it because I only wanted to do one movie. That movie was Whiplash. I had recently scene Whiplash with my family and thats all I could talk about at the time. I persuaded my group that this was the movie to pick and they loved it. When going over the Monomyth chart in class, we were able to fill out every section without hesitating. It was that easy. Some groups struggled during their discussion of what goes where in these sections and some did not. Some poorly labeled each section with events in their movie. Of course one movie stands out which is Batman the Dark Knight. Since everyone has already stated their opinion on why it is wrong I will not go into detail.

While looking at the spreadsheet most movies did well. But most, I think, could of done a little better. Although this is all opinion based on what events fit the sections, I still have some recommendations.

The Interview: I think the Call to adventure and the Refusal are confusing because one does not flow with the other. I think that in order to keep the refusal the Call to Adventure should be the scheduling of the interview. The original Refusal is confusing because no one new about the top secret mission. Other wise good job.

The Lego Movie: Only a little recommendation here. I think that Emmet's first threshold was after he found the kraggle and he was forced to leave with Wyldstyle when the cops were chasing him.

Otherwise, well done everyone!
