Assignment 4-2: Movie Discussion

Discussion – Armageddon







I chose Armageddon because is one of the movies that I have seen and I still remembering. This movie was released in 1998. The film is about a group of oil drillers who are sent by NASA to deflect an asteroid that will collusion with Earth. NASA decides to destroy the asteroid with a nuclear bomb which should be introduced under the asteroid’s surface which will divide the body in two parts. NASA selects Harry Stamper and his crew to do the job.


I used my personal criteria to define the following heroes in this movie. These heroes risked and sacrificed their life to save Earth and its habitants


Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis): He is courageous and determined. Since the beginning of the movie he is a hero because of his actions to help his crew. He sacrificed his life to detonated the bomb and save our planet.


A.J Frost (Ben Affleck): he led one of the troops in the space to drill on the surface of the asteroid and place the bomb. Also he was a hero when he decided to detonate the bomb but Harry Stamper made him return to the shuttle because his daughter was in love with him.


The crew of Harry Stamper & astronauts: they all are heroes because they risked and sacrificed their life to save our planet. They are heroes since the moment that they were sent to the space.
