Definition of a hero

From the beginning of the movie, I guessed that Dan was not a mortal, maybe he was a sharpshooter, a hidden skill for his family to pretend to be in the status quo and let others be slaughtered. ...but I was wrong, totally wrong, and fundamentally wrong. My definition of a hero is wrong. Do heroes have to draw their guns like Ben's, super-fast shooting, and precision? Obedient and obedient, should heroes defy all social norms including laws and ordinary people...Although this is a traditional western film that subverts the orthodox society, it has positive significance...To a certain extent, this movie is a Subversion of Western movies... Most of the heroes in Western movies should be shaking like Ben in the face of Dan, an ordinary downcast peasant, because Dan did not give up his insistence on ideals, even in the movie, this intrigue In the West, he doesn't break the law, he doesn't use violence to solve problems, but he fights with reason. It's hard to live, but the bones are hard. As an Outlawer, it's hard not to hurt innocent people who died in their hands. There are a dozen videos that say so and face their own. In the face of their own unbearable past (people who intentionally or not killed) don't they apologize? When the opponent is a bad person, Ben has the moral high ground. In the face of Dan such a good father, good husband, and good man, I think Ben has The respect that comes from the heart may even be a bit ashamed because he sees human nature very well, and he himself wants to have a noble ideal, even if it is only a legitimate ideal to adhere to... William's evaluation of Ben is that you should still He's a good man... It's because of the kindness in Ben's heart and the respect for Dan that he can help Dan fulfill his wishes and see his ideals die with Dan after Dan's death. The pain can only be vented by killing this gang of comrades who deserved their sins, because as smart as Ben, he naturally knows that his gang of comrades are a group of hungry wolves who have no ideals and milk or mothers. The reason why they follow him so loyally is because of his own personal charm. It's not that they have ideals and aspirations (from the beginning, these people are just tools for Ben to do murder, arson, and robbery. Do you still expect to have a true love...) It’s easy for this society to become bad, but it’s easy to become bad and forget the guilt of your conscience. I think it’s not easy, and it’s even more difficult to be a good person. The real heroes are such kind and kind ordinary people who insist on their ideals. And a group of people like Ben, this group of cowboys riding horses, smoking cigarettes, flirting with good women and bad women, maybe not helping the poor The group of people who may not die even with ten shots is just a legend passed down by word of mouth like the sand in the desert...

I don't like hard to describe some small details of the film, so I deducted a star...
