Big Hero 6

So last night was kinda a movie night. Mom and I just vegged out on the couch after our supper of chicken and rice. We watched Focus with Will Smith and Big Hero 6. I had a bowl of chocolate ice cream in place of popcorn.

When I watched Big Hero 6 I was expecting it to kinda suck because let’s face it some of the newer kids movies are a bit cliché. To my surprise it was pretty good. I felt bad for the main character his name is Heiro. His parents died when he was three years old so he lives with his aunt and his brother. His aunt owns a café shop and his brother goes to a nerd school.

Heiro is bot fighting which is both popular and illegal. Heiros big brother wants him to use his big brain for something good, something better than bot fighting. So he brings him to his nerd school and enlightens him. He works really hard to invent these micro-bots to get into the school. Everyone there is amazed by his invention someone tries to buy it off him but he says no, because it takes time to perfect an invention.

There is a huge fire that happens in the building. Heiro’s brother rushes in to save the professor saying “someone has to help”. The explosion kills Heiro’s brother leaving him with nothing but his belongings.

Heiro later finds his brothers invention of a health care robot. This starts a great adventure to find and stop the person that stole his micro-bots.

I really like this movie because it shows him dealing with his grief and slowly overcoming it. It shows him becoming a better and wiser person. That he values what his brother believed in and how to honor that. That revenge doesn’t solve anything.
