Vogler, Christopher, and Michele Montez. The Writer's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers. Boston: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007. 3-20.
This portion of the book, pages 143-173, is where Vogler speaks about the approach to the inmost cave and the ordeal. The approach to the inmost cave is where the hero is rights at the point to face the great challenge, at the brink of danger. “Now the hero stands in the deepest chamber of the inmost cave, facing the greatest challenge and the most fearsome opponent yet”(Vogler 155). These stages are truly where the audience is at its’ most excited. Both of these stages together can make a good movie great of a great movie terrible.
