Those movies focusing on heroism have already become the dominance of modern movie market. Individual heroism as the logo of commercial movies has become the quintessence and soul of Hollywood movies. Just as the freedom and democracy characterize the United States, so is the case with individual heroism which has shaped Hollywood movies.

This paper aims to compare the cultural backgrounds and social influence of these two kinds of heroism in Shooter and Water Margin so as to improve the intercultural communication between Chinese and western people. |
