Blog 10: Hero and Anti-hero in the movie "Hero"

I believe that in the recent movie I have watched in my Eng099 class titled "Hero", Bernie LaPlante is the Hero and John Bubber is the Anti-Hero because although LaPlante who has a family and lives in a house, a very traditional man i might say was the one who went in that airplane and saved 52 people he made us forget how self centered he is, he cared about his shoes so much but he took them off and put his life at risk to save the people on the plane. His wife says " it was against his religion to save people" but he was not afraid to go in that plane, a plane that was mins or even secs to blowing up. John Bubber due to the life he was living, a homeless man living in car claimed he was the hero because of the money that was being offered to the man who saved all those people. That is very selfish in all ways because he continued his act knowing the truth is he was not a hero. He was tormmented by that and he tried killing himself which i believe is very imperfect. He Of course Laplante just did not want to deal with all of the publicity chaos which is why he did not want to come up front that he was the hero they were looking for, Once money was offered, He wanted to but who would not want to be rewarded money. LaPlante just didnt want publicity because he is just very traditional man, too self centered to deal with so much attention.
