ALSO CHECK OUT - How I Murdered Myself
Now this is what movies are all about! It's stories like these
that make you laugh, cry, get excited and tear out your hair in frustration at
the injustice you see on screen. But it all comes together in the end and the
Hero is a Hero again. It's true, you can't keep a good man down. Unfortunately
the same is not true about a good movie.
Then without a
word this hero staggers away to sleep it off, After having taken whatever he could get his hands on. No
biggie, it was all in a night’s work.

Hero is the story
of a zero, a nobody, a petty thief, pickpocket, drunk, a divorced man whose
wife hates him and has custody of his son and he is going from bad to worse to
downright pathetic.
But one dark, gloomy and rainy night, while he is going somewhere in
his drunken stupor he witnesses a plane crash and ends up as a reluctant hero,
angrily saving quite a few people from the about-to-burn wreckage that was once
a plane.
Then without a
word this hero staggers away to sleep it off, After having taken whatever he could get his hands on. No
biggie, it was all in a night’s work.
Next day he wakes up to much hullabaloo as the world is looking
for this shy hero who risked his life to save so many and then vanished like an
angel heading back to heaven.
And the next thing you know, a good looking impostor who fits the role
of what we think a ‘Hero’ should be claims he is the saviour, he is the hero of
that night! And he is perfect in every aspect!
Now our real hero, watches this from the sidelines and is amazed
at the madness surrounding the fake hero who has become an overnight celebrity,
a sensation, an icon!
The pathetic hero starts to realise that maybe he should go ahead
and tell the truth to the world. But at this point nobody is willing to believe him. Of
course, a man like him cannot be a ‘Hero’, look at him! Is that what heroes are supposed
to look like? (Remember Hancock?)
Dustin Hoffman, Geena Davis, Andy Garcia are superb in this. It
really is fabulous story, well told and acted and the climax, sniff, what a
moving, brilliant climax. It’s the ending that makes or breaks a movie, and the
ending here makes this Hero soar high as far as the endings go.
This Hero is a true Hero as far as movies go, watch it!
