[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all thriving stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].

Universal Terminology
The Hero's Journey uses definite terminology, such as "Final Conflict," "Hand-to-Hand Battle," "Unbearable Antagonism," "the Oracle," etc. Again, when taken literally, this misleadingly implies that it is fit for only definite story-types (Arthurian Legend, Damsel in Distress, Fantasy, etc). In fact, metaphorically, the terminology applies to the vast majority (in fact, every) thriving story or screenplay you may have come across:
In The Godfather (1972), when Sonny is gunned down, what is that if not an Unbearable Antagonism?
In Annie Hall (1977), when Alvie ultimately goes to meet Annie in Los Angeles, that is a Hand-to-Hand Battle and is the same one-on-one confrontation as Luke and Vader battling it out at the end of Star Wars (1977); the same mano-a-mano confrontation in the middle of Riggs and Joshua in Lethal Weapon (1987), the same confrontation as the one in the middle of John McClane and Hans Gruber in Die Hard (1988) and the same as the confrontation in the middle of Harry and Sally at the end of When Harry met Sally (1989).

Abridged Tips, Excerpts And Examples:
*****Final Conflict: Allies against the Hero*****
Post the Crossing of the Return Threshold and before the master of Two Worlds and Selves, a hell of a lot happens that is rarely given mention. The Final friction (a metaphor for this stage) follows a safe bet process. One aspect of this stage is the possibility of allied soldiery turning against the hero. In Straw Dogs (1971), Amy decides to go against David and give then Henry.
*****Apotheosis*****
It is the breaking out of old restraints and restrictions. In the Godfather (1972), Don Corleone gives his word not to break the peace, but Michael doesn't.
It is a seminal insight , an illumination, an epiphany. In Casablanca (1943), Rick's insight is that if you love someone, you cut yourself for their happiness. That cut can contain selling your most prized material possessions (he sells his bar), allowing your love to find happiness in another's arms (he ultimately allows Ilsa to be with Victor), physical suffering (it is likely that his ultimate actions will see him to a attentiveness camp), leaving dear friends (he will have to leave Sam behind) and forced exile from home and heart (he will have to leave Casablanca). He learns this insight from both Ilsa and Victor, who are prepared to do the same for each other.
