Christopher Vogler The Writers Journey

T h e r e is a sense of pandering to the m o d e r n audience in an exaggerated attempt to make the 245  T H E W R I T E R ' S JOURNEY ~ T H I R D EDITION Christopher Vogler story "relevant" with contemporary dialogue and acting styles; and there is a one- dimensional quality to some characters, especially the sneering, unshaded villains. A l t h o u g h well played by Billy Zane, Cal in the screenplay is one of the weakest parts of the design, and would have been a more effective rival if he were more seductive, a better match for Rose, real competition for Jack, and not such an obvious monster. T h e n it would have been a real contest, not a one-sided match between the most attractive young man in the universe and a leering, abusive cad with a bag of money in one hand and a pistol in the other.
