      me and my fading heroism

      Recently, I happened to watch two movies about heroism, one is Disney's "Lightning Dog", and the other is "Creed" directed by Nolan.

      The plot of the former is mainly about a dog who grew up in Hollywood and believes that he is a superhero, accidentally leaves the set, and encounters a cat...

A maverick dog, a guinea pig with a ball, a cat that picks up junk, is the right way to chase your dreams, no matter how awesome your dreams are, you can't resist your foolish persistence. 2. Some time ago, those "fighters" who stopped cars at high speed to save dogs probably haven't seen this movie, or didn't understand it.

    • Bolt: Hmm... padlock.

      [stares intensely at the lock while Mittens tries to get away]

      Mittens: Listen Cujo, I got some pretty wicked claws under these mitts, do not, I beg of you, do not make me bring out these bad boys! It gets ugly!

      [Bolt continues to stare at the padlock]

      Mittens: What are you doing?

      Bolt: Stay back! If I stare at the lock really hard, it'll burst into flames and melt.

      [Mittens stares at him for a second]

      Mittens: Now I'm concerned on a number of levels.

    • Rhino: If Bolt's taught me anything, it's that you never abandon a friend at a time of need!

      [starts rolling down the alley]

      Rhino: When your teammate's in trouble, you go! Not caring what dangers you may face, you go! Not knowing if you're coming back dead or alive...

      [rolls out of sight]

      Mittens: He went the other way.

      Rhino: [rolls back] You go! Knowing how deeply the shrapnel's going to pierce your hide, you go...!
