Subar On Heroes In Film

[I]nstitutional power, physical power, sex appeal, technology, intelligence, education, and wealth don't matter. However, two kinds of power do matter:

1) The hero is better than the other people in the film, not because he possesses more of the kind of powers described above, but because he possesses higher principles.


2) The hero is better than other people because he possesses more of what, in the final analysis, defines all heroes: will power.





-Howard Suber, The Power of Film
