Captain America Character Analysis

The movie “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is a very splendid movie, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. It is much better than the first one. Before I talk about his movie, let me tell you how does Captain America come from, Steven was a weak man who wants to be a soldier, but no matter how hard he tried, his weak body is his only problem to be a real soldier. Therefore, he decide to join the experiment, even it is damagers but if the experiment success, he will be the man who has a strong body and powerful. Here he comes, after that experiment, people call him “Captain America”. In this movie, he plays a role in the opposition’s resistance, he worked for Shield, because the job allows him to help people in need of help in the community, …show more content…
I think this view is outdated; the author described the Captain America as a physical and mental justice, the role of a strong sense of responsibility. In one of the plot in the movie, Captain in the elevator says to the people near by him: “Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?”(Anthony 1) He already knows those people are trying to catch him, but he doesn’t want to hurt anyone, that’s why he asks anyone who wants get out. But in real life, if anyone like this immortal, and great strength, amazing ability, does he really every day so selfless it? According to the human point of view, unlikely. Not just Captain America, even Superman, Batman, they are the same. According to the article “Who Watches the Watchmen?” the author supports that superheroes could just depend on their self and do their own things. “Some, like Batman and Superman, choose to work with the government or the police to apprehend criminals, but it is done out of necessity, not dependence.” (Hughes 1) Same as Captain America, he works for Shield all the time, why he doesn’t just create a own group by himself and do something he really like to do. The movie author should go more humane point of view to set up these actor, such as Watchmen. “These superheroes, unlike those of fantastic worlds and abilities, are completely caught up in ideology. Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and the rest of the traditional good guys become superheroes for some intrinsic responsibility, but the brood in Watchmen chooses to do it for much more mundane reasons-money, power, fame, or to promote their own ideology.”(Hughes 2) Think about it, if Captain America didn't work for Shield, or there is no Shield, no Hydra, what he will do in the 21th

For example, Rorscharch, Walter Kovacs, and the Comedian, Edward Blake, seem like polar opposites, yet they are very similar. Neither character was well liked by the other masked adventurers/vigilantes. Both characters remained focused on what they perceived as right.…

    When we think of Batman, the words “hope”, “justice”, and “incorruptibility” come to mind. He is The Dark Knight, a bat vigilante who fights to keep the fictional streets of Gotham safe. He is arguably one of the greatest superheroes ever created. He fights crime and faces some of the most insane villains in comic book history.
