Simuation of heroism.

A really good point stuck to my mind regarding art. You can notice it in the epic music, films, theater, games - the mood of heroism is almost everywhere. But people just wish to enjoy "simulation of heroism" for the most part, I guess.
The whole Hollywood industry is driven by money and yet it "preaches" such painful yet beautiful ideas.

You're right. I personally end up rooting for the antagonist.

On a personal level, I prefer the simulation of heroism to actual heroism, because I'm not fond of shitting myself.

Did anyone else misread the title as 'Stimulation of heroine'?
