Since "Rain Man", I have always liked Dustin Hoffman, and even released his album. Today I watch "Unsung Hero", which is another masterpiece.

Bennett, played by Hoffman, is impoverished, just like all living beings in real life, all bad luck comes at the same time. To comment on him in one sentence from his ex-wife is: Everyone is cheating, why can't I? This is his philosophy of life, a bit cynical, a bit cynic, and suspicious of everything! However, by chance, he accidentally saved all the people on the crashed plane, but the doom is still not over, no one knows that he is a "hero". Seeing Barber pretending to be him to claim the one million, showing that he is a hero, I was really worried. It seemed that he hoped that Bennett would expose all of this quickly. We can't stand the unfairness. This is with us since we were young. Regarding the indoctrinated education and beliefs, we felt very uneasy to witness this unjust world, but the development of the next story was unexpected. Barber continued to be his hero, and Bennett maintained his faith without faith. , Continue to be a small person, confess all this to his children at the end of the film, Hollywood’s usual happy ending, people’s anxiety about injustice has disappeared, and they are willing to accept such an ending.

"Don't believe in everything that television instills in you", this is what Bennett has repeatedly emphasized. The media will only show us what we want to see, and those that our fragile hearts are unwilling to accept are all hidden, so that we My anxiety disappeared, and I lived comfortably in the world of lies. This is an era when the truth is not needed, but for me, I must know the truth. At least I can choose to reject the lies or accept the lies and continue to live!

Hero quotes

  • Bernie LaPlante: [Talking to his son over the payphone] There's things you have to do - which reminds me - you know this hero business? One of the things you learn as-as you grow - as you grow older is that life gets very complicated... weird, actually. It's, you know, like people aren't exactly like they seem... nuthin' is. Life gets un-un-un- unbelievable... Uh, it gets normal as you get older.
