What kind of creature is a hero?

Yesterday afternoon, something happened that provoked contradictions among the Chinese people. Liu Xiang, the flying man, was injured and retired. However, Liu Xiang still insisted on completing the whole jump with one foot. Before Liu Xiang's game, I went out to do errands, but I benefited from the improvement of the mobile phone network. , I almost saw this scene with the people of the world, and what I was worried about also happened. The people of the whole country quickly divided into two factions on the Internet, and attacked each other. While supporting Liu Xiang, he said that Liu Xiang is a hero, knowing that he couldn't do anything, and even ran the whole course after being injured. Regarding this matter, I think this is not just a simple event, it reflects a social phenomenon of the whole world. Does this world still need heroes?
If you are more familiar with the movies of the Coen brothers, you must feel that you don’t need heroes. In the movie world of these brothers, the world is always chaotic and disorderly. There are no heroes or even villains to be proud, and "Batman" Many Hollywood superhero movies such as "Superman", "Transformers" and "Hancock" have also raised the issue of whether heroes are needed or not. The usual method is to like the new and dislike the old and forget the scars. The American people are here. After gaining peace, he quickly abandoned superheroes and began to pick and choose superheroes, wasting taxpayers’ money to be heroes personally, and it would have a destructive effect on judicial justice. Knowing that the villain once again threatened the lives of the people, the super The heroes reappear in the expectation of all people, save the people from fire and water, and then take the heroine to hide the merit and fame and wait for the next episode. Seeing too much makes people wonder, what about a world without heroes? Let the ignorant people live? Before there were comic heroes, the broadest active heroes in movies were cowboys or sheriffs in Western films. They must have fantastic marksmanship, justice-filled behaviors and indecisive hearts. The former allowed them to be heroes. The latter makes them suffer a little bit, so as to scare the audience. But where in the world are there so many marksman sheriffs and idle and unemployed cowboys? The Coen brothers are directors who like to throw this problem to the audience. In their early movies, there were always bad guys but no heroes. "Blood Labyrinth", "Ice Blood Storm" and "Three Kings of Prison Escape" are all like this, until this naked " "Old Nowhere", wicked people are extremely evil, but the protagonist is not only not a hero, but not even a good person. What should I do? As a result, the Coen brothers told us that there are very few miracles in the world. The protagonist died before the end of the film, leaving the old sheriff Tommy Lee Jones chattering and falling apart.
So they all say that the Coen brothers are anti-heroes. There are no heroes in their movies, but they tell us through the movie that a world without heroes is terrible, so people love to watch "The Avengers", so people like the Coen brothers most. After all, Sheriff Coburn can be regarded as an indomitable hero, although people only think of them when they are in trouble, such as on the 110-meter hurdles track in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

    Both the Internet and the DVD are very poorly translated versions. I guess I can’t hear the southern accent like half of my mouth. If you look at the same version as me, you can still score four or five stars. I have to admire their ability to hypnotize themselves.

    The plot is full of tension and deterrence. It is very similar to "Ice Blood Storm", but it's all fine and unpredictable... The simple chase story can be understood a little bit more clearly, the director's intention is just in the clouds... especially In the last paragraph of Tommy's monologue, it seems that I need to copy the subtitles separately and chew a few times-completely defeated by the "magician of the image" Coen brothers! "When you try to get back what you lost, you will lose more. Well, all the time you spend trying to get back what's been took from you, more is going out the door."
