Hesitate and become a hero

This film is very touching. I just watched the director recently and choked in my throat.
Americans are very strange. I always think of such a movie as an inspirational hero. It should be about how a firefighter grows from a newcomer who can't lift the nozzle of a water gun to a person who has helped hundreds of people (there should be one Specific value) fire hero, but the more I watch it, the more I feel wrong. The movie uses flashbacks from my writing in elementary school to tell Jack’s story. This is a hero, but like us, he will see beautiful women in the supermarket (just Most of us don’t dare to come forward to talk), will be high in the bar until late at night, will play billiards and bet money, will be humiliated and bullied by the old staff, will be afraid of piles of mice, will kiss the bride before the pastor’s speech, will hear the wife After the news of pregnancy, I was ecstatic. I would forget to promise my son’s picnic, quarrel with his wife, etc. Americans like this. They like to find heroes in ordinary lives.
But this time the hero will be fighting with colleagues, will be afraid of dangers at work, will hesitate his beliefs, and will lose precious lives.
He finally won the honor, and it was just honor.
The more you go to the back, the more afraid you will be to watch the happy and happy scenes of Jack before, and all will eventually dissipate.

At the end of the story,
I finally understand what Americans understand about heroes. Either you are born a hero and have nothing (like Superman), or you die to become a hero and lose everything.
I have only now realized the significance of choice is more important than hard work. If you have a chance, how will you choose, but don't hesitate, but if you are lucky, hesitate to become a hero.
