Hero and anti-hero in the movie Hero


A hero is a person who perform great tasks for other people, they are self-less and very honest they almost near perfect. In the other hand, an anti-hero is the opposite they imperfect sometimes they unethical.                                                                                                                     In the movie Hero one the protagonist named Bernie LaPlante to me he is a hero because he save 64 passengers from the airplane that crashed right in front of him that night when he was going to see his kid to take him to the movies. He also save John Bubber from killing himself. So in here he proves ti me that he would perform a great task for other people. Tjis is one of the characteristics that some one should have to be a hero.
anither protagonist from the movie is Jonh Bubber nd I think his an anti-hero because he did not really help out all the people that where in the airplane. He made the news believed that he was the hero becuase he wanted the money. This proves to me that he is not honest nd that his unethical.

summary of 'the red pill or blue pill"

The article Red pill and Blue pill: Is Ignorance Bliss? Adapted from The Matrix, liberal education, and other splinters in the mind by Christine Cornell and Patrick Malcolmson. The article talks about how some people rather live in their own illusion and do not want to know the truth but, other humans choose to know the truth rather than reality.
According to the author some humans choose to come out of their illusion and face the real world like Neo from The Matrix, he choose to drink the red pill and was brave enough to face the real world even though he wasn’t ready. Most of the people chose to stay in their own illusion and don’t want to see what is the reality about.  Once people find out the real world they feel good knowing that the real worl is different from their illusion
