I like Grace (and i love Lili Taylor for this performance) from "Arizona dream" although she kills herself in the end. I like Starling from "The silence of the lambs" (and yes, i love Jodie Foster too). I like the personages of Frances McDormand. If about men-heroes... Kevin Costner in "Dancing with wolves", the guy (i can't belive i can't remember the name right now:)) from "The Shawshank redemption", Forrest Gump and other Tom Hank's personages, personages of Steve Martin and Morgan Freeman, oh, Robert Redford in "The last castle" and not only... u see, these are only the movie ones:)))...

So like hero. I think there are no heroes in life. All the heroes in our mind only. In another words we always create our heroes ourselves. I believe in one thing about heroes -- no differences between hero and victim just angle of view.; ▶ Reply to This

Because there are things by which some people have influence over others, in the way to make them stronger, or better, or just to give them peace of mind; and doesn't matters if these heroes do this by their will or not, or if they are victims too in some meaning... I agree "hero" is relative and subjective by the certain level category; but he is still a hero because of his influence.; ▶ Reply to This

You may be ment influence of human mind and behaviour? Heroes in presentation? Well... they are depended from our education and culture. We choose heroes which suit to us. So we are make all the heroes ourselves. And we destroy them as they have bored us. I think we are no need heroes or idols, we are need friends.
Really I have no pretending to loudly reply. Just a little chat or dialog :-))); ▶ Reply to This

In simpler term, and in most acknowledged term, heroes are the people who inspire us and in most cases, who have done great for their country or in their respective fields. I think heroes are comparable to saints. Heroes are worldly characters and saints are in the religious arena. And they are both victims or sinners.

As for me, historically, I am inspired by the life of Erin Brokovich, in her movie played by Julia Roberts. And mush as I am inspired by her incomparable role as a mother, I am also inspired by my own mom who I consider my heroine. And not to forget the wits, courage, and selfless acts of Jane Austen, author of Pride and Prejudice.

There are many considerable heroes/heroines of today (as well as villains). We choose our heroes basing on our own perspective. Your hero might be a villain for me and we could also be heroes for others. ^-^; ▶ Reply to This
