Everyone should have a heroic dream

Many people will be shocked by the usual big scenes of American blockbusters, and the thrill of watching movies derived from action movies is what many people have been pursuing. Schwarzenegger is the classic representative of action films that appeared in this situation. Whenever there are films he starred in, we have subjectively engraved the symbol of action blockbusters.
The Last Stand is Schwarzenegger's return after leaving office. This film is a typical personal heroism theme. A group of people guards the town with a tough guy as the center, guarding the residents, and there is no lack of team cooperation.
The thrill of gunfights, the visual impact of flesh and blood, these are the climactic parts of action movies, and the main reason why we are addicted to them. Arnold Warzenegger still continued his impression of a tough guy on the screen in the last battle. A pair of sunglasses and neat shooting are really refreshing. The whole story of the film is also worth watching.
At the beginning of the film, two seemingly unrelated main stories are arranged. One is that the FBI encounters a carjacking on the way to escort the drug lord prisoner, the felon escapes, and the FBI pursues it all the way. A group of strange people came up in the western town. Until the FBI called Sheriff Arnold, we knew that the group of people who sneaked into the town was to help the drug lords implement a plan to escape through the town. Arnold will lead his squad of police officers against a drug lord gang that rivals the military. This kind of victory by hitting a stone with a pebble seems to be what the audience wants to see. Although the power is disparate, although the whole process will be difficult, but through strategy and wisdom, the righteous side will eventually win. This kind of action film with strong personal heroism brings us not only the excitement of gun battles and big scenes, but also caters to the heroic dream that exists in almost everyone's heart.
There are some interesting jokes in the film, like when the sheriff went to the restaurant to tell people to take refuge, the two old people calmly said that they were too old to worry about cholesterol, are they still afraid of death? Later, the sheriff also ridiculed himself as "Old" when he was injured in the shootout with the drug lord gang. Time is really a butcher knife, and his tough face has been invaded by wrinkles, but Schwarzenegger, who is over sixty years old, is still Active in the film industry, continue his tough guy career.
From the confrontation between the sheriff and the drug lord gang, we can see the spirit of national responsibility. Although the sheriff has the domineering ability to be a man, but in the face of many enemies, without the strength of the team, the victory of the sheriff will be more difficult, so the assistance of the team is the icing on the cake.
In the film, we can also see the helplessness of the hero. The sheriff has seen too many bloodstains and deaths. He is tired of fighting on the battlefield and is afraid of seeing someone die in front of him again, so he came to the mountain. Merton, this sparsely populated western town. But it seemed that fate didn't want him to rest, and gave him such a chance to save the town. All heroes have integrity. In the last one-on-one confrontation, he was indifferent to the 20 million temptation offered by the drug lord. The sentence "My dignity is not for sale" is enough. This is also a unique attribute of heroes that ordinary people do not have, and they do not bow down for five buckets of rice.
Everyone should have a heroic dream in their hearts, a passion, and they will fight for their homeland and dignity.
