Captain America The Winter Soldier Character Analysis

Improved Essays
In the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Samuel L. Jackson gives this quote in one of the scenes “Never Trust Anyone”. From what this quote is trying to tell us that people can’t be trusted with important responsibilities. When the quote applies to me, it’s more than not being able to trust my own instincts in certain decisions than trusting others. The decisions I make are seen as my regrets, I do make good decisions but when I need to make a decision fast I regret it. The peak of all my bad decisions started as a kid where I thought they were good decisions. Though the decision I made is not big and trouble inducing, but rather more small decisions like getting something in the store alone and getting lost.

when I was in my pre-teen years. Sure it’ll happen every now and then but it’s a slim chance I would actually get lost in the store.

Especially since I’m tall and I can see her from a far distance versus being a 7 year old in a store that can’t see anything at adult height. Unless it’s a store like Costco where the only way to actually find her is by texting her. Looking back at the quote Samuel L. Jackson said isn’t relevant to me since it’s more like a “big boy” decision I made as a kid, that trying to get something important without something bad happening. In the end getting lost in a store isn’t much of a big deal than it was when I was 7 years

Woodward exclaimed, a great deal of confidence can possibly expose a weak inner life, meaning you are not honestly content with what you produce, the confidence can act as a mask to your feelings, which was the implication of Woodward’s statement.
