Personal heroism I can't identify with

Boys seem to have a natural yearning for such movies. After dinner that day, my best friend's boyfriend asked us to watch the movie with a group of four, insisting on watching "Need for Speed", but because of the number of episodes, I finally watched "The Story of Stealing Horses" , my brother, who I haven’t seen for a long time two days ago, came to see me and watched a movie after dinner. I also said that I really want to watch this, so let’s watch it, although I am not a car fan or a game fan.
In fact, I am a little afraid of watching this kind of film in the cinema. I still remember watching "Iron Man 3" last year. The various intense scenes and the rumbling sound made my little heart thump and beat wildly unbearable. This film is of course the same, racing car, what is needed is speed and passion.
After watching the whole film, it is not difficult to understand why boys love this film. The ex-girlfriend was robbed of love by a horizontal knife, and his brother died tragically. In order to get revenge, the male protagonist of course had to declare war on his opponent, and he also announced very manly: the racing car should be solved by racing.
A man of justice, with a famous teacher, is like an ancient knight who rejoices in grievances and revenge. While picking opponents with his sword, he can also pick on British girls with blond hair and blue eyes. In the end, his clothes are fluttering and the enemy is under the sword, and he has to be compassionate and let go Yima is not only superior in skill, but also firmly holds the moral commanding heights.
Some people say that the film is too sexually demanding, and that's true. A beautiful car is the ultimate dream of all men, but anyone with a little bit of male hormones will be carried away by it, how can they not love it? Even me, I was so shocked by this picture and sound effect that I couldn't find my head.
But this kind of film is not worth thinking about. At the end of the film, the male protagonist rides the car to the finish line, but he is still caught by the police.
As the end of this sentence, there is always a feeling that the screenwriter is trying to elevate the ideological connotation of the film. As soon as I asked the question, I remembered a sentence from the book I read a few days ago: "Being brilliant because of failure, I thought this was the basic law of classical tragedy. Why is it touching if you don't fail? How can you grow up if you don't fail?"
Male The Lord is for revenge, for the dead brother, for the lost love, even if he is subdued, he must be resolute. Otherwise, how can he show his loyalty and fearlessness?
Such a question can easily lead the audience to think, and then agree with this view of daring to love and daring to hate.
However, I am not a car fan, nor a game fan. It is difficult for me to be convinced by the roar of such an engine. After the heartbeat caused by adrenaline has returned to calm, the more I think about it, the more I can't agree.
Since you can't win 100%, why do you have to gamble? I tend to be more conservative, but obviously the protagonist is an adventurer. A racer should be born with a risk factor, and there is no way to tell who is right or who is wrong when it comes to values. However, driving your dazzling and cool driving skills all the way, leaving countless rollovers and accidents behind you, is your reward for your brotherhood? It's hard to lose a brother, but in every rollover you cause, there are owners and passengers, and they also have their own brothers. When they feel good about themselves, what should others do?
Obviously ignoring the existing legal and civilized system, the blonde girl sitting in the co-pilot was convinced by the male protagonist in no time. I really don't understand. If it was me, I would have to hide far away. The male protagonist should not only be handsome, this typical personal heroism really makes me accept incompetence.
I remember there was an English class where the teacher asked a question similar to "Would you like a hero to lead your country?" My point of view is that the leader of a country must be excellent, if it is in war years It is necessary to have someone with outstanding talent and strategic vision to guide the society, but in a peaceful age, it would be inappropriate to tie the future and destiny of a country to one person. We should rely more on it. on effective state mechanisms, not individual mandates.
Bernard Shaw said, "A reasonable person requires himself to adapt to the world, and an unreasonable person requires the world to adapt to himself. Therefore, the progress of the world depends on the unreasonable person." I was shocked when I first heard this sentence , it is different from my previous worldview, but I am happy to accept it. However, looking at it now, I no longer agree with it like the first time I heard it. The progress of the world is due to the existence of people with a sense of responsibility to the society, who adapt to and transform the society. This "unreasonableness" is also within the scope of reason and within the scope of constraints to exercise the greatest freedom, not like the hero of the film. Like, contempt everything for revenge.
But after all, this is not a story-telling film. There is no such story to tell after so much. After watching the film, the cars on the street are disgusting - although I don't have a car, I can look forward to a car.
The next day, I happened to see a white racing car at the school. I heard the sound of the engine from afar, and I walked over and stopped for a long time.
