ARMAGEDDON 1998

Armageddon is an American movie released in July 1, 1998. The movie is about an asteroid in the size of Texas will hit the earth and it will destroy it, and in order to save it, this asteroid must be destroyed in two pieces to avoid hitting the earth. NASA have created a team of deep core drillers to send them to this asteroid to drill through it and plant a pump to destroy it.

The man hero in this movie is Harry played by Bruce Willis and he was the head of the team, and once they reach the point to set up the time for the pump, they have discovered that someone have to stay with the pump to explode it. Harry was the one who chose to stay and scarify for his daughter and to save the humanity.

I think that is the time which the movie was made has helped in its success, because in this period which is 1998, the technology was considered in the beginning, and not like nowadays, so you can believe that someone have to stay to explode the pump, but now, I think if something like that would happen, they may not send humans in there, they may send robots to do this job, and we can observe that nowadays there are robots can do a lot of things, and in the future they can do everything, who knows.

I think heroes 50 years ago are different from now. I think that this is because that the values and morals has differ now from the past, in the past there were more values and the people was more likely to scarify for each other, you it was normal to see someone who can help someone who doesn’t know or scarify for his family or friends.

I also think that heroes in the next 50 years will be also different, we may find no human hero at all in the movies or in the real life too, we can find robot heroes, or other things that can exceed our expectation, we can never know.
