Journal 20: Compare ze Heroes

The heroes nowadays in movies are very diverse because our literature work and movies are all either inspired by past literature work or direct remake of previous movies with a new director, a new interpretation, or with new and better technologies. There are less and less original work because we use previous works as foundations of new projects of works or we simply reuse the same plot but with a different point of view. There are two kind of heroes and the villain revolves around these characteristics too. Heroes of the Romanticism Era values feelings, intuition, and hunch and act base on pure intuition and raw force. When the hero possess these characteristics, it is usually that the villain, or the antagonist, of thestory would be a sly, calculative person that has evil plans for his bad deeds. The story is often resolved with the hero defeating the villain through raw power, exterminating all the bad guys. Then the other kind of hero fights and wins using wisdom and intelligent plans for good deeds. Usually the enemy is someone that is more powerful than the hero or is much more ruthless and menacing but the hero outsmarts the villain with his intelligence. These two types of heroes are radically different in that they think and resolve solution withradically different approach and usually with very different settings. I like heroes with knowledge because raw power is risky and stupid and there's nothing we can learn from these heroes because the only reason their approach could work is because of their superhuman physical attribute and bravery. We can learn more from intelligent heroes because we can learn from their calm and critical thinking techniques that suits our society better if we want to be successful in this modern society.
