This weekend, I saw the movie that is the captain America: Civil War. This movie, I could say, is very popular in the United State and other places, attracting many people. Then, I feel curious about this situation that why this kind of movie that talks about heroism is so popular.
Now, I think this situation is closely related to public psychology, including the sense of security, and desire for success.
Talking about the sense of security, this is a serious and precious thing that people lack and want, especially in recent decades. Comparing to the twice World War, the times we live in now is more peaceful. However, actually, everyone knows that this peaceful scene is faked. Overall, in some special areas such as Afghanistan, Syria, and Israel, people who live in there are still in wars. Moreover, terrorist organization is a new threaten to the world. In this case, people lack sense of security, and they need protection to live peacefully. There was a comment of the movie named Spiderman 1, which is the reason why this movie grossed so many money is that the spiderman soothed the broken heart of people. After the 911 event in 2001, people always anxious about the terrorism.
For the next psychology, the desire for success, it is simple to explain. Normal people have completed emotion that includes positive and negative emotion. This means everyone has ambition that is one of the sources for people to succeed. Super hero almost can do every impossible thing, and acquire honor from people. Although most people know that human could not be a superman, they still like to enjoy seeing the success of superman. In a normal person life, unaccountable effort needs to be spent for a long time.
As a media people, I believe that movie is from public, and back to public.
