Especially recently‚ viewers are quick to cross-examine movies and vocalize any issues they discover. The Help (Columbus & Taylor‚ 2011) and The Color Purple (Spielberg‚ 1985) are two films that are notorious for receiving an intense amount of backlash

To me‚ there are two definitions of hero‚ (1) a person who is regarded as a model that is respected for qualities or achievements‚ and (2) anyone that in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness displays courage and the will for self-sacrifice.
