Abstract

Cinema hero is a special conglomeration of images of the human, both real and historical; archetype which lies in the human mind and the image that cinema has imposed himself in the process of evolution. One successful hero can bring the film to world leaders at the box office, but no star cast can save the film from financial ruin if there is no good-described character with his prehistory and psychology. In order to become a truly iconic movie character, it is not enough just to come up with the name and adventure. Hero is a complex image, similar to the real person, and many of its features must also be as close to reality as possible.
