About heroes...

Rating: 7/10 (30 September 2003)

When I got into the store to rent a movie, I wanted to see a movie full of guns and fights. I asked the opinion of the owner and he simply said `Black Hawk Down'. Well, he was right.
I didn't get bored. I liked the movie; it's a good war movie.

I even liked Josh Hartnett, what can I say in this movie he was good.
There is just one thing. this movie talks about heroes, heroism and things like that. I don't know what's exactly the military system in the U.S. but forgive me if I am wrong, I think that these guys (Delta and Rangers) are paid for what they do.right? Now, in my country we say that someone is a hero when he dies for his ideas, for his country and of course without getting paid!!! And we also see in the movie that many soldiers said, `I am doing the things I was trained to do'. Just that. where is the heroism in that?
Of course it's not a good thing when people die. It's the saddest thing. but in this movie, if someone asked me if there was a hero I would say simply only one-name `Hoot'. Just like that.
