Movie/Television heros

For my heroes in a box project I choose to do Movie/Television Heros. These heroes are people that a lot of people know who they are, and also look up to them. I think the qualities of television or movie heros is someone that helps others, goes on some kind of adventure, and has some kind of goal they need to accomplish.

Top 10 Movie Heroes
1. Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) "Schindler's List" (Stephen Spielberg, 1993)
2. Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) "To Kill a Mockingbird" (Robert Mulligan, 1962)
3. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) "Aliens" (James Cameron, 1986)
4. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (Stephen Spielberg, 1981)
5. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) "The Bourne Ultimatum" (Paul Greengrass, 2007)
6. Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood), ''Dirty Harry'' (Don Siegel, 1971)
7. Spartacus (Kirk Douglas) "Spartacus" (Stanley Kubrick, 1960)
8. Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) "The Silence of the Lambs" (Jonathan Demme, 1991)
9. James Bond (Sean Connery) "Dr No." (Terence Young, 1962)
10. Neo (Keanu Reeves) "The Matrix" (Andy & Larry Wachowski, 1999)

This is the book 'To Kill a Mockingbird', it is also a movie and the hero in this movie is Atticus Finch, who is on the list of the top ten movie heroes. From this artifact I realized that movie or television heroes do not have to be a spy or go on dangerous adventures, or anything like that to be a hero. Atticus Finch is a lawyer that helps anyone that he can, and that is what makes him a hero.

This video is from the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. I choose this because it represents the adventures that the television portrays heroes to go on all the time. This type of hero is most common in most television shows and movies. In this film Indiana Jones is the hero and goes on an adventure and I learned that heroes can make mistakes, not everyone is perfect, so not every hero is perfect.

This image is of the television show Heroes. This show is about a lot of different types of heros with different powers and abilities and trying to deal with them. This show taught me that not every hero wants to be a hero, or wants to have their powers/abitities.

When searching on line for how the internet portrays heroes I found this quote. This quote taught me that even if heros don't want their power, or haven't yet figured out who they are, they still will do whatever they can to help others and to fix bad situations. I think this quote is true for all heroes, and if its not then they are not really a hero.

CONCLUSION:
When I researched Movie/Television heroes on the computer I found that there are basically to different types. The first type of movie/television heroes is the kind that goes on danagerous/thrilling adventures like Indiana Jones or has a special ability or power that make them a hero like the characters in the television show Heroes. The second type of movie/television heroes that I found was the type that has no ability, no powers, and doesnt even go on adventures, but they still help people in anyway they can and are a figure that many people look up to like Atticus Finch from the film, 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' I also found that television and movie heroes are people that do good things all of the time and try to help make things better no matter what they have to do.
