    I'd like to mention the part of #2 which is the heartbeat of the story - sure Cooper wants to save his family but he also REALLY wants to explore. Murph is aware of this and to some degree feels like her father chose it over her. This is basically a self insert by Nolan - you can't make the films he does without being away from your family for extended periods of time - and it's his struggle with this that's the emotional core of the film, more than simply his love for his daughter.

    Instead of saying Harmon invented the story circle, it might be more appropriate to say he modified Campbell's Hero's Journey which is also cyclical and shares many of the same points and concepts. Harmon's simplification is brilliant, digestible and much appreciated but it was hardly his "invention."

      It’s similar but pretty distinctly different in terms of what each stage focuses on. I’d say harmons circle is much more grounded and the hero’s journey is more grand in approach.

    Ironically, Dan Harmon doesn't like Interstellar, and even went as far to say that Christopher Nolan is a director in desperate need of a quality screenplay during an episode of Harmontown.

    Well explained and thank you, but every movie has a general story circle and 4 story circles , Act 1 has one and act 2 has two and act 3 has one, you are talking about the general story circle Cooper's change is when he leaves his daughter again for a new love and a new hope in life which is Dr. Brand. because he loves his daughter he couldn't let her go until he is reunited with her again and let her go.

    the guys that don't follow a formula probably subconsciously write a story that closely fits in with the circle - we have all seen so many movies I guess it is intrinsic to us on what makes a good story but to be able to define the formula on what is a good story is infinitely harder than to simply recognise a good story - I kinda hate the idea of writing by numbers but Harmon makes it look easy. I also think its just as important that you make the main protagonist relatable.

    I believe a good story consist of having great conflict. Conflict in each acts, scenes, and even within dialogue. If you look at Tarantino’s movies and his concept on story structure which he doesn’t really abide by, each of his scenes, character interactions, and his rich dialogue all involves conflict which moves the story forward and it works. I don’t believe there is a right or wrong way of telling a story as long as there is consistent conflict that moves the story forward.

    There’s an error in the image and structure example. For Dan Harmon is not a 8 circle parts. Please look his original video. It’s 4 parts and 4 plot points.
    That thing change everything in this video.

      @@Shan17992 The Monomyth/Heros Journey/Story Circle is actually a dissolution and analysis of the greater selection of Human Mythology from all cultures of the world restructured into a logical set of steps and threshholds that a "Hero Archetype" has to go through in order to achieve Hero status. There are additional modalities of the myth structure outlined in the hero with a thousand faces by Joseph Campbell. Its important to remember its not a hard and fast structure to follow but a liquid, living outline on the process of becoming heroic thats been passed down from generation to generation. you can ignore it but you will in some ways always return to it.

    Story is an art form and like most art it doesn't have rules. Guidelines sure but not hard rules. You cannot fit every story into the story circle. You can force some spots to kinda make it seem like it fits but there are some stories that don't find. You have to take into account length of story. Long form manga for example definitely doesn't fit in the story circle.
    The story circle is a good tool to use and is flexible enough to tell a lot of different stories. But it definitely can't fit all stories into the it's circle.

    your story circle does not work 4 me as ne does not creat interest in a zone of cokfort, a reader will not turn the page;m the middle story can be hurdled via action sequence that continues suspense as in works via Clive Cussler, note, see how he creates reader interest in his beginnings.
