Female hero

In the states, there are so many hero comics and movies. But, when I was young, usually I watched Japan comics and animations. In japan animation, most famous woman hero animation is Sailor moon.  

I like woman hero animations because I get confidence of woman power through them. And they do not get the help of men, and they finish up the villains by using herself power. I think most important things of hero is confidence. When I was young, I learned confidence through these animations. on the other hands, most interesting is that the woman heroes in japan animation are not perfect. In actual life, they live ordinary as student and also they have disadvantages. But when they are becoming hero, they strive their best to save people by sacrificing. They are not perfect, and their flaws could change the course of the story. They has to make choices, and They have to deal with the consequences of her choices. There is nothing more frustrating than reading a story where the protagonist fails to make choices. Even if this is how we behave in real life, we want our fictional heroes to be a better version of ourselves. We want them to take action. We want to them to go after what they want.

True Grit

"True Grit" is a novel publishes in 1968 and it came out the movie in 1969 and the main actor is John Wayne. In 2010, Coen brothers made "True Grit" movie again and it is more modern. For me, the movies of 2010 is more natural acting and direction, so it is more good to watch.

Honestly, I do not have interest in Western movie and I usually did not watch. Maybe this movie is my first wester movie I watched. In the movie, I really was captivated Mattie Ross actress because her acting is really awesome and so brilliant. She took her father's dead body by herself and sold her father's stuffs and she hired people to revenge using money. Usually, it is so difficult to decide to kill the suspect to kill her father. Therefore, she is really confident and looks so awesome.

 Mattie, Cogburn and Leboeuf tried to find the suspect and they learned about friendship and family affection. Through this trip, the lived together as a family for her life. It is wester movie, but there is heat warming story.

In korea, we have different title, "The Brave" and I think it is too different . In "True Grit", grit has the meaning of courage, but it is not simple courage. It is more like an iron will, the spirit of courage and strong will. So the Korean title of "The Brave" is too different as "True Grit".
