Is He a Hero

Out of all of the heroic movies listed (The Hunger Games, Star Wars: A New Hope, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Here Comes the Boom, The Natural) I have picked Here Comes the Boom. I picked this movie because, in my opinion, it is the most heroic movie listed that I have seen all the way through. I also picked it because, in my opinion, it has the best storyline out of all the movies and is very realistic.

                The basic story line of Here Comes the Boom is as follows. A high school biology teacher known as Mr. Voss (Scott Voss) is amazed by the music created by the high school’s band. However, Mr. Voss later learns (in a school board meeting) that the school has lost a lot of its funding and must cut the music program which means no more band class. At first Mr. Voss just thought of it as a shame and nothing more but when he realizes the importance of the job for the music/band teacher himself. He immediately tries his best to find ways to fund the music program and save the music teachers job without hesitation. Within his efforts to raise money, he becomes a night-school teacher for adults that are trying to become legal United States citizens. Long story short, he begins to privately tutor a student who inspires him to become a U.F.C. fighter where he can win so much money to lose a fight. So through this he starts training with that night school student and continuously gets his butt kicked. However, fortunately, through his training he learns from his mistakes, becomes a better fighter, and becomes famous throughout the high school that he teaches at. He raises almost enough, the guy in charge of the money loses it, and Mr. Voss has to re-earn all the money. Now, to sum it all up, he wins his last fight, raises enough money to save the music program and the music/band teachers job, and all his night school students became legal citizens. The end.
