Research Background 

The United States is a country that advocates heroes, so if we are to study its culture, its heroism is a topic that should not be avoided and must be given high attention. Americans love heroes and lack heroes. There is a kind of argument that is that in real life, the number of real heroes is getting less and less. If heroes have disappeared in American life, you will not get this conclusion after watching American movies. The movie is a carrier of national culture. The heroes in the movie are the idols most easily perceived and worshiped by modern people.

Americans have a strong sense of self-centeredness. They believe in individualism and always put their pursuit of personal happiness and freedom at the core, trying to make it a social consensus. Not only that, Americans advocating personal struggle, risk-taking, advocating indomitable spirit of protest. The logic of personal struggle or individualism is an important part of American culture.

This unique value has played an important role in the history of social development in the United States. The film is an integral part of human cultural life. Directly reflects the culture of a nation, so American movies also strongly advocate self-centered individualism and heroism. One of the most important secrets of American movies is to create heroic myths. That is in the movie. Heroes are often subjected to more brutal torture and unrelenting trials than ordinary people. In the face of various crises and difficulties, they never stop at it but actively respond. Always rely on their clear-headed, sensible mind to quickly make correct judgments and perfect deployments, and seize the one percent chance that ordinary people can easily overlook to win the final victory. The US movie always strives to create various heroic images of heroic heroes and tries to exaggerate the decisive role of heroic individual forces in overcoming the hostile forces of the group. The individual power is infinitely exaggerated and deified. This gives these heroic figures the value of extreme personal heroism.
