What makes a person a hero? Is it strength and humility or is it simply the courage? In the movie The Mummy, Rick O’Connell can be compared to Odysseus in the movie The Odyssey. Rick and Odysseus have to face many challenges in order to survive. Rick and Odysseus face challenges in many different ways while being tested or simply fighting to the end. They do whatever they can so that they are able to survive. Rick and Odysseus have to sacrifice things like their family and money if they want to survive. Both of these heroes have significant qualities such as strength, courage, and the ability to conquer challenges. Although, they both have positive qualities about them, they have negative ones also. Both of them struggle from selfishness. Rick only thinks about himself when he wants the treasure. Odysseus shows selfishness when he does not fight for his men only for himself.

The art or science of the picture that photographer put into the scene in the film is that The Matrix is set in a dystopian advanced, world where computer machines have taken over the world.
