H-E-R-O ?

Hello all, Now that we have learned a little bit about the elements and compounds about the everyday action film, we are going to talk about heroes. A hero is basically in every film or movie that has ever been made. This is someone that the audience likes and can relate to and usually this person has to choose between good and bad. The definition from www.dictionary.com states a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.

Some films are harder than others to distinguish the heroes because they can be perceived as the bad person throughout the entire film and then make the one last decision that makes them good. This can also relate to every person's perspective of the film as well. An example of this is someone thinking that Jigsaw in the movies Saw is a Hero because he is trying to save some one's life and stop them from making bad choices, while other just seem him as a killer.

Going back to the original purpose of this blog is to review tuesday action films, recently I have discovered a television series that goes along with this topic. Brilliantly named Heroes, and in this series they go through several different peoples lives and show how they themselves can use their "gift" to become a Hero or they can use it for others things that do not include the above definition. I have become addicted to this show because it shows how people react and their choices in real life can and will affect others, and, of course, a little sci-fi thrown in with a lot of action makes for a great tv series.

Now that we have covered a little bit about heroes, we can continue next week on why there are No movies, at least none that i know right now, where the Villains is the main character, just causing havoc, and wins in the end.
