Blog 10: Hero and anti-hero in the movie Hero

In the movie "hero" there are two main characters Bernie LaPlante and John Bubber, Bernie LaPlante is not heartless but he is greedy he has two sides to him self he's a liar and tries to get money anyway possible he steals and sells, for him to be caring and giving is something that he doesn't always do. John Bubber is more of a giving caring person but he is a liar too, most of the time he will care for others. I dont know who i would call a hero because i think it depends from what point of view you see it from.
In some way Bernie LaPlante is a hero because we see how he is just driving down the road going to pick up his son to go to the movies and when he is going to cross a bridge he sees that a plane comes crashing down, he got out to see what had happend and heard that people were yelling screaming asking him to help them open the door Laplante didnt want to help at first but he thought again, so he did but first he had taken of his shoes because he said the cost him $100, then walked into the water to help out. when Laplante helped open the door people started to come out of the plane some little boy was crying saying his dad was in the plane (this is where his hero side kicks in), Laplante had gone into the plane with out thinking twice. Laplante went in there looking for one person and while trying to find the boys dad he kept on seen more poeple and he was just pulling them out one after one. Laplante didn't find the kids dad so he thought he died inside because the plane exploded every one had gotten out of the plane in time. He had save 64 people. After he helped  he just disappeard no interview or nothing. This is what makes me think that Laplante is a hero.
Jhon bubber is a hero too because he was in the vietnam war and he had helped carry out alot of his troops when they got shot, he had carried them to safety. In the movie I didn't really see jhon bubber be much of a hero I saw him be more of a romodel to do good to lend a hand and help out the less fortunate That is the only good thing about that. Jhon bubber is a liar too because he knows that he didn't help out the people from the plane crash but because Laplante told him what happend Bubber was the one that went to collect the reward because they had been looking for the hero who saved the passanger. Laplante lost one of his shoes when he helped out the people he was mad that he lost it so gave the other shoe to bubber so bubber used that as evidence that it was him even though it wasn't true. So this is what makes bubber a liar.
So I think that Bernie Laplante is the hero in this movie he saved people from a plane crash and then at the end of the movie he helped out a girl that fell into the lion cage.
