To the people not liking the music: Think about what the song is about and then put it in context with the Hero's Journey. It's a song about the first stage, the longing for more. If you don't like it for personal reasons, that's completely fine, but there's a good reason for using it
I was expecting this video to be spectacular - especially on an emotional level - because it's a supercut of amazing movies featuring the Hero's Journey. Then 20 seconds in I started to look for the source of the bland electronic elevator music beat. I thought that I had left open some YT video in another tab, but no. That's actually the music for this video and the final result is surprisingly underwhelming. Great idea, weak execution overall (not just the music). And I'm sayin this as a lifelong electronic music lover. There are many awesome YT videos, but this ain't one of them.
the fact that he chose that audio says something about his overall judgement and aesthetic, unfortunately, it just doesn't say anything good about them.
Have you guys taken into account that the song was an Over The Rainbow remix?? nysi bookmarked The Wizard of Oz in this supercut, and even made the soundtrack to reflect this, I think this was a cool choice. Not the best song just to listen to in bed, but I think it worked well within the context of what this video was trying to do
I didn't like the audio *because* it was an Over the Rainbow remix. Some songs are perfect and iconic in their original form and are only ruined by some wanker who has to bite off it because he or she can't think of anything original. Case in point - this remix.
Artur Araújo I mean music is pretty subjective I thought it was okay, music on CZcams is quite hard to nail. I don't think it was vague, it was just a supercut of moments of the hero's journey, I thought it was well done idk
It's a recurring theme I noticed on youtube; some person comments/dislikes about something purely their opinion or something subjective. Then another person does it, and so on. And they do so without putting any reason behind it. It utilizes the bandwagon effect. Honestly there are so many videos out there with this phenomenon occurring to them.
I liked the concept of the vid but the execution is lacking. Some scenes seemed ill placed, almost as if we got an out of order hero's journey. I think this project would have benefited from a hard cap of 1-2 films per step. Preferably with longer more drawn out scenes that clearly symbolise the essence of the step. I can see the appeal though in wanting to showcase how many films employ the hero's journey. I dunno I might have a try myself.
Sup NASA I mean that completely goes against the point of a supercut though? This was like an oldschool NYSI supercut video, and quite an original take on it tbh because it recreated a hero's journey thus telling a story through the medium of a supercut, which is cool. I think he assumed people knew the essence of the "hero's journey" as a storytelling construct, the point wasn't to analyse this aspect of film, but rather show, through supercut, its vast usage. At least you didn't say the music just sucked though :)
Fellow video essayist here. This was an awesome supercut and something more people should appreciate. Video essays take hours, days and weeks to craft. The research, the content, the editing - it's all something that, if done incorrectly, can lead to extremely poor content. When you receive a video like this, you should genuinely appreciate it because 1) the creator isn't feeding you garbage video essays with poorly strung together content and 2) you're seeing the creator express their adoration for cinema through different means. It's a shame that one video sees so many people turn on one of the best essayists on this platform; a video that is both excellent in its editing as it is a pure visual love letter to the hero's journey through cinematic means.
I'm not sure I can articulate fully why I love this so much, but I'll try: I'm finally starting to accept that my life isn't going to take the shape I expected; that I can't see what's coming up, and that I never will be able to. and although I sometimes feel defeated by that, on a good day, it feels full of possibility. this video made me feel like that.
Honestly, this is not very good. But I know how it could be improved. So many of these shots are just shots of someone's face, completely devoid of any context or meaning. Many of the shots we get are just REACTIONS to story beats that have happened, rather than the events themselves. For this supercut to make any sense at all, it requires the viewer to have already seen most or all of the films that are presented. ... Here's how I would have approached this concept: For all of the 54 movies that you've chosen, identify the key scenes, and the key moment in those scenes, that best reveals a story beat. Though, 54 is far too many. I'd say you should choose about 10 films, which best represent the Hero's Journey / monomyth. (For those of you who don't know, the story beats for a Hero's Journey are: Act 1 1. Ordinary World 2. Call to Adventure 3. Refusal of the Call 4. Meeting the Mentor 5. Crossing the Threshold Act 2 6. Tests, Allies, Enemies 7. Approaching the Inmost Cave 8. The Crisis / Supreme Ordeal 9. Seizing the Reward Act 3 10. The Road Back 11. The Climax / Resurrection 12. Return with the Elixir ) So, to take Star Wars as an example, the "Call to Adventure" beat is when Luke first sees the recording of Leia, saying "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." And here's the "Refusal of the Call" beat: Obi-Wan: "You must learn the ways of the Force, if you are to come with me to Alderaan." Luke: "Alderaan? I'm not going to Alderaan. I've gotta get home; it's late." But this dialogue is actually sufficient to cover two beats at once - the call AND the refusal. So it's a good candidate for inclusion in the final edit. Once you've identified the best scenes for all the story beats in your 10 movies, it's simply a matter of selecting the best ones. I'd say that each story beat should be represented by 3 movies each, like so: 1. Ordinary World - The Truman Show 1. Ordinary World - Cast Away 1. Ordinary World - Lord of the Rings 2. Call to Adventure - Toy Story 2. Call to Adventure - Indiana Jones 2. Call to Adventure & Refusal of the Call - Star Wars And so on! BAM, you've got a fantastic supercut about the Hero's Journey. For bonus points, you can choose movies with matching dialogue that you can effectively juxtaposition. For example: Batman Begins: "Some men just want to watch the world burn." CUT TO Apocolypse Now: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
Taran Van Hemert yeah but just the reactions give you a good idea of what happened. I haven't seen a lot of these movies but I could tell what had happened based on the actors faces.
I'm getting the impression that a lot of people aren't familiar with The Hero's Journey. This video demonstrates where aspects of The Hero's Journey can be seen in film. If you don't know what The Hero's Journey is, you should definitely look it up, it's been the foundation of stories for many decades.
Grétar Jónsson The Hero's Journey is a very important literary theme found in most "great" films. Look back even to Homer's "The Odyssey" and you can find the same archetypes. The quotes at the beginning and are from the man who identified and named these archetypes. Think before you type.
He was trying to show us how present the hero's journey is in all of our most iconic and beloved movies... also I think it was kinda inspirational with those quotes :P idk
THE ORDINARY WORLD. The hero, uneasy, uncomfortable or unaware, is introduced sympathetically so the audience can identify with the situation or dilemma. The hero is shown against a background of environment, heredity, and personal history. Some kind of polarity in the hero’s life is pulling in different directions and causing stress. 2. THE CALL TO ADVENTURE. Something shakes up the situation, either from external pressures or from something rising up from deep within, so the hero must face the beginnings of change. 3. REFUSAL OF THE CALL. The hero feels the fear of the unknown and tries to turn away from the adventure, however briefly. Alternately, another character may express the uncertainty and danger ahead. 4. MEETING WITH THE MENTOR. The hero comes across a seasoned traveler of the worlds who gives him or her training, equipment, or advice that will help on the journey. Or the hero reaches within to a source of courage and wisdom. 5. CROSSING THE THRESHOLD. At the end of Act One, the hero commits to leaving the Ordinary World and entering a new region or condition with unfamiliar rules and values. 6. TESTS, ALLIES AND ENEMIES. The hero is tested and sorts out allegiances in the Special World. 7. APPROACH. The hero and newfound allies prepare for the major challenge in the Special world. 8. THE ORDEAL. Near the middle of the story, the hero enters a central space in the Special World and confronts death or faces his or her greatest fear. Out of the moment of death comes a new life. 9. THE REWARD. The hero takes possession of the treasure won by facing death. There may be celebration, but there is also danger of losing the treasure again. 10. THE ROAD BACK. About three-fourths of the way through the story, the hero is driven to complete the adventure, leaving the Special World to be sure the treasure is brought home. Often a chase scene signals the urgency and danger of the mission. 11. THE RESURRECTION. At the climax, the hero is severely tested once more on the threshold of home. He or she is purified by a last sacrifice, another moment of death and rebirth, but on a higher and more complete level. By the hero’s action, the polarities that were in conflict at the beginning are finally resolved. 12. RETURN WITH THE ELIXIR. The hero returns home or continues the journey, bearing some element of the treasure that has the power to transform the world as the hero has been transformed.
Man, I feel like this needs to be one of the last thing every person on earth sees before the end of time. It's just such a nice summation of movies, seems like the Hero's Journey has shaped some pretty great stories, no matter how many times it's been used.
Great video! but when I saw the title, I hoped you'd go into analysing and stating your point on: why has the hero's journey endured through the millennia as the main form of storytelling? I know a lot is written on the subject(which I've read) but as your channel is one of my favorite on CZcams, I really hoped to see your perspective :)
The hero's journey : Yearning for more Call to adventure Crossing the threshold The mentor The obstacle The ordeal The victory Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.
This is great. This formula works in ALL forms of writing, even business presentations Or at least Dan Harmon's version: YOU NEED GO SEEK FIND TAKE RETURN CHANGE
Problem is that half of these are really contextually dependent. So when I see some random person's face from a movie I never seen, I don't get the same reaction as I ought to until I see Anton Chigur standing still and I'm like: Oh okay, this is the section where we're showing out-of-context close-ups of the villain characters; if the shots were a little more self-contained and self-explanatory it would serve the message better.
This video is the reason why I have recently become so obsessed with movies and whenever I'm feeling down I just watch this so just wanted to say thanks keep up the good work
There are haters as far as the eye can see for this video. Like with all things in life, I found my own meaning in it. Loved the audio and how it enhanced or conflicted with certain scenes. Please keep making shit like this! I love it
I always thought Yoda's "do or do not" sounds a lot wiser than it actually is. Otherwise, to him, there's no difference between trying really hard and failing and not trying at all, but obviously there's a massive difference.
I liked the previous montage better but that's probably because you can see the touch visually whereas with this you'd have to know the movie and understand why it's a hero's journey
I know I'm just one commenter but holy shit. This video and my personal favorite, Touch, are just insane. I really hope to one day have the extensive knowledge of the medium of cinema that you do.
I enjoyed this video because it felt like a celebration of cinema, however I can't help but feel it's not really what this channel is about. I subscribe to this channel because I find the video essays amazing and insightful and they really open my eyes to a new side of cinematography I hadn't considered, really make me think and consider things more. I feel like, although I appreciate the editing here, I don't really think it's as interesting as other videos. But I'm not one to hate on anyone, whatever! Make whatever makes you happy!
One of the most glass shattering moments of my life was the realisation how much a story has to adhere to this structure in order to be received successfully. The Hero's Journey can be broken down into 20+ steps, one of my favourite films is Interstellar and it ticks almost every one. Makes me feel a little played. Doesn't make me love a story any less, but something feels very deterministic and perhaps futile about it all.
Please make more super cuts. This video and the video you made on touch are my favorite videos on this channel. And if you read this comment and decide to do more super cuts, please pick music similar to your touch video.
Good Video, if you feel insecure because your other videos usually do better in terms of like/dislike ratio don't be, it is just different from your other content and people dont like change. The video is good, keep on doing what you enjoy and explore
So many good memories !! This is exactly the way I would like to share my passion for cinema. Even if the soundtrack is not the one I would have picked (no offense), I want to thank you for the great job you've done. Thanks for paying tribute to those great movies !!
To the people not liking the music:
Think about what the song is about and then put it in context with the Hero's Journey. It's a song about the first stage, the longing for more. If you don't like it for personal reasons, that's completely fine, but there's a good reason for using it

And I'm sayin this as a lifelong electronic music lover.
There are many awesome YT videos, but this ain't one of them.
Wow, I had no idea the extent to which The hero's journey could apply to all those movies... really left me wondering... great video, btw!
SoyLuciano it apply to almost every story (sorry 4 my english)
No it doesn't, maybe Hollywood AAA movies, but not most stories.
Artur Araújo really? So greek storys are AAA movies now?
Rodrigo Graells *stories
Since when do Greek "storys" make the majority of stories? Sure they inspired many, but they are far from being even 1%
Artur Araújo lel I will not argue against such cheap arguments
you forgot the first rule is never get involved in a land war in asia
Or a trade war. Either one...
inconceivable!
Unless you are ... wait for it ...
The Mongols.
Great Scout, you keep using that word, I am not sure it means what you think it means. ;)
Damn crash course fan here!
I like the video but not the audio.
the fact that he chose that audio says something about his overall judgement and aesthetic, unfortunately, it just doesn't say anything good about them.
Well, if you don't knOw have a button that turn off the sound. KKK
Have you guys taken into account that the song was an Over The Rainbow remix?? nysi bookmarked The Wizard of Oz in this supercut, and even made the soundtrack to reflect this, I think this was a cool choice. Not the best song just to listen to in bed, but I think it worked well within the context of what this video was trying to do
Scott Like Dumb people don't see nothing.kkk
I didn't like the audio *because* it was an Over the Rainbow remix. Some songs are perfect and iconic in their original form and are only ruined by some wanker who has to bite off it because he or she can't think of anything original. Case in point - this remix.
I'm hyped to see Interstellar get some love in this vid. I LOVE that movie.
It's pretentious crap.
I don't quite understand the minority here who seems to dislike this, I loved this video as always, thanks :)
I didn't deslike it but it's pretty vague, doesn't really teach anything and th music doesn't fit the video, like at all.
Artur Araújo I mean music is pretty subjective I thought it was okay, music on CZcams is quite hard to nail. I don't think it was vague, it was just a supercut of moments of the hero's journey, I thought it was well done idk

Dont listen to the other comments. This perfectly portrayed the emotions.
Who cares what song was used. The video has a great message, and i enjoyed it.
I'm not sure I can articulate fully why I love this so much, but I'll try:
I'm finally starting to accept that my life isn't going to take the shape I expected; that I can't see what's coming up, and that I never will be able to. and although I sometimes feel defeated by that, on a good day, it feels full of possibility. this video made me feel like that.

4. Meeting the Mentor

8. The Crisis / Supreme Ordeal
9. Seizing the Reward
Act 3
10. The Road Back
11. The Climax / Resurrection

And so on!
BAM, you've got a fantastic supercut about the Hero's Journey.
For bonus points, you can choose movies with matching dialogue that you can effectively juxtaposition. For example:
Batman Begins: "Some men just want to watch the world burn."
CUT TO
Apocolypse Now: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
Wow. Taran from LinusTechTips!
Taran Van Hemert yeah but just the reactions give you a good idea of what happened. I haven't seen a lot of these movies but I could tell what had happened based on the actors faces.
Taran Van Hemert if you understand the movies and the Heros journey then you can piece together the tale he tells with this video
mate...
Good critiques, I had some of the same feelings. I my opinion Truby's 22 building blocks are way better anyway. But still an enjoyable video, this one
great individual elements but as a whole doesn't work as well. still gets a like!
I'm getting the impression that a lot of people aren't familiar with The Hero's Journey. This video demonstrates where aspects of The Hero's Journey can be seen in film. If you don't know what The Hero's Journey is, you should definitely look it up, it's been the foundation of stories for many decades.
love the video. would love to see a full essay on the heros journey though.
So many great films :O great video!
LOTR, Pursuit of Happiness, shawshank, Star Wars, Batman stand out for me :)
Just a supercut from iconic films with almost no message :(
Grétar Jónsson The Hero's Journey is a very important literary theme found in most "great" films. Look back even to Homer's "The Odyssey" and you can find the same archetypes. The quotes at the beginning and are from the man who identified and named these archetypes. Think before you type.

Grétar Jónsson There doesn't always need to be a message
there is a message my friend.
There's a message, it's just not told to you, so you didn't catch it
When you live the typical day to day life behind, something amazing happens...
*leave
make one for how to make a short film
Record, wait, stop recording, render, export, done.

Just wonderful
relaxing, nostalgic, sweet.
love the video, thanks for letting us see this
great collection of films but the music makes me feel like I'm sipping warm beer somewhere on a cheap holiday at a crowded beach
Like the idea of the video but I think the song choice could have been better (though I do like the whole over the rainbow metaphor)
If this got even one person interested in Joseph Campbell and his contributions to modern storytelling, I'm happy.
Great video! but when I saw the title, I hoped you'd go into analysing and stating your point on: why has the hero's journey endured through the millennia as the main form of storytelling? I know a lot is written on the subject(which I've read) but as your channel is one of my favorite on CZcams, I really hoped to see your perspective :)
Chills
One can't overstate how important Campbel work was (and always will) in the field of narrative
Wow. All the feels.
This video made me smile.
The hero's journey :
Yearning for more
Call to adventure
Crossing the threshold
The mentor
The obstacle
The ordeal
The victory
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.
Love your Supercuts! Keep em coming!
I love cinema.
I thought that was fantastic, and now I will have that song stuck in my head until the end of time itself
This video is amazing. The music, the scenes everything.
This is great.
This formula works in ALL forms of writing, even business presentations
Or at least Dan Harmon's version:
YOU
NEED
GO
SEEK
FIND
TAKE
RETURN
CHANGE
Still one of my favorite videos of all time on CZcams and well.. I guess in general. I always get the feels watching this
Ingenious editing, this was awesome!!
The last time I was this early, I was thinking about saying "The last time I was this early, 'The last time' jokes were still teetering ln relevancy"
Love this ~ Thank you!
Small Foot did so good in following The Hero's Journey; that film doesn't get the credit it deserves.
touching.
thank you.
Very interesting. Really to the point, and with a bunch of great examples.
that was beautiful
Love your content, keep up the great work mate.
I really like these kind of videos! Keep em' coming! :D
This gave me goosebumps
Amazing, as always.
This made me cry almost instantly. Tears are streaming down my face.
Problem is that half of these are really contextually dependent. So when I see some random person's face from a movie I never seen, I don't get the same reaction as I ought to until I see Anton Chigur standing still and I'm like: Oh okay, this is the section where we're showing out-of-context close-ups of the villain characters; if the shots were a little more self-contained and self-explanatory it would serve the message better.
I think this is amazing.
ive always been into this Joseph Cambell story model, thanks!
This video is the reason why I have recently become so obsessed with movies and whenever I'm feeling down I just watch this so just wanted to say thanks keep up the good work
My teacher played this in my classroom! Good video man!
Wonderful video! I really love this channel!! Keep doing your amazing stuff, please!!
Excellent compilation.
can't understand the thumbs down here. a beautiful montage of films, great song, great editing. you got a thumb up from me, pal.
your videos are always on point - I know soon this account will be HUGE
your videos gives me goosebumps
There are haters as far as the eye can see for this video. Like with all things in life, I found my own meaning in it. Loved the audio and how it enhanced or conflicted with certain scenes. Please keep making shit like this! I love it
God, this is incredible. You put so much effort into your videos and it really, really pays off.
It's a good Supercut but nothing more. You're better than that!
I always thought Yoda's "do or do not" sounds a lot wiser than it actually is.
Otherwise, to him, there's no difference between trying really hard and failing and not trying at all, but obviously there's a massive difference.
I liked the previous montage better but that's probably because you can see the touch visually whereas with this you'd have to know the movie and understand why it's a hero's journey
This made my day, thanks 😁
Keep these coming - I love these so much
I know I'm just one commenter but holy shit. This video and my personal favorite, Touch, are just insane. I really hope to one day have the extensive knowledge of the medium of cinema that you do.
Love this!
i love these videos

i love that you spend your time analysing movies in the best videos on youtube, and yet your twitter handle is swagthug4lyfe
iconic
All these complaining people who don't know Campbell's _Hero's Journey_... You might wanna read that book.
I'm working on a presentation for English on "the wise mentor" archetype and this helped me a lot. So thanks for the perfect timing. ^-^
Fucking hell this was propably the best supercut i have ever seen. *.*
The edit was good keep it up!
I can never see the Wizard of the Oz the same way again after knowing what Judy Garland went through on set
This was just weird. It was like "here's some famous movies".
Most films follow a similar thematic structure. Big whoop.
Would have loved if this had been about Dorothy's Heroes Journey.
I really enjoy your videos.
I really really love this, I'm already watching it for the third time.
One of the most glass shattering moments of my life was the realisation how much a story has to adhere to this structure in order to be received successfully.
The Hero's Journey can be broken down into 20+ steps, one of my favourite films is Interstellar and it ticks almost every one.
Makes me feel a little played. Doesn't make me love a story any less, but something feels very deterministic and perhaps futile about it all.
Not all of these movies involve the Hero's Journey, unless you stretch it's definition.
All films in some way or another have traces of the hero's journey archetype. Even David Lynch in some respects.
Which one specifically?
This was so cool! You deserve so many more subscribers!! Your content has such high quality!
I'm in the middle of making almost this exact supercut! NOW it's gonna look like I stole it from you lol!
Loved it
Watched this high. So fucking good
Great, now I'm going to have an earworm for the rest of the day...anyway, great video :)
Omg I always thought you were the person on your profile picture. But yesterday I saw American Beauty for the first time....such a brilliant movie!
loved it!
Please make more super cuts. This video and the video you made on touch are my favorite videos on this channel. And if you read this comment and decide to do more super cuts, please pick music similar to your touch video.
Missing most iconic moment of Vader saying "I am your father".
Great job.
I loved it!
Good Video, if you feel insecure because your other videos usually do better in terms of like/dislike ratio don't be, it is just different from your other content and people dont like change. The video is good, keep on doing what you enjoy and explore
If you've done this you clearly need to do "a stranger comes to town" as they are allegedly the only two stories that exist
I like this, especially as I'm currently reading Hero with a Thousand Faces :)
more supercuts like this would be great. i love this video a lot.
So many good memories !! This is exactly the way I would like to share my passion for cinema. Even if the soundtrack is not the one I would have picked (no offense), I want to thank you for the great job you've done. Thanks for paying tribute to those great movies !!
I LOOOOOOOVE IT!
