It's true that the book has a huge impact on writing and story-telling, and can be seen used making movies. Famous Directors like George Miller, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Coppola owe their successes to the powerful pattern that Joseph Campbell identifies in the book. The ideas in the book I think can be used as a set of tools when making my own stories. With them you can…

Ever since the film American Sniper managed to rack in ninety million dollars over Martin Luther King weekend, I’ve been wondering if Walter White had it all wrong; the Clint Eastwood blockbuster made more money over 72 hours than an international drug empire made in an entire year — and it also had a higher body count, which is an impressive feat when you’re in the wake of an AMC show.
