The Inner- Workings of Big Hero 6

            In the movie Big Hero 6 the main character is Hiro. Hiro is accompanied by an inflatable healthcare companion named Baymax. Baymax was invented by Hiro's older brother named Tadashi. Unfortunately, Tadashi had died in a fire trying to save his college professor Callaghan.

            Throughout the movie there are several conflict concepts that are either being applied effectively of ineffectively in order to resolve a conflict. Hiro learns that someone was responsible for the fire at the science convention, and it was not an accident. Tadashi died in an act of valor attempting to save the life of his professor, but it so happened that professor Callaghan had instigated the fire in order to steal Hiro's invention. Hiro had invented something call micro- bots, and one is able to control them to do practically anything with their mind. Eventually, Hiro would be overwhelmed by his emotions and anger/ revenge would dictate his near future actions. As a result, Hiro removed Baymax's healthcare chip in order to destroy professor Callaghan. Baymax's sole and primary purpose is to help and heal people when they are hurt or in distress, but Hiro had failed to take all the circumstances into retrospect. This led to all his team and professor Callaghan either dying or getting injured from trying to stop Baymax.

            Professor Callaghan was also blinded by the emotions of revenge. He stole Hiro's micro- bots in order to have revenge on a man named Allister Krei. Allister Krei had created a teleporting device that had got Callaghan's daughter stuck in another dimension. As a result, Callaghan wanted to destroy all that Allister Krei has strived and worked for.

            Another conflict concept that the main character Hiro had encounter was the despondence of loss. Due to the death of Hiro's older brother Tadashi, he had decided to isolate himself from the rest of the world. In doing so, Hiro had a negative snowball effect on his aunt and his new friends at college. Hiro was really cared about by his friends and they all worried about Hiro and his emotional distress because he was so ecstatic that he had gotten accepted into the college of his dreams.

            The movie Big Hero 6 also has a similar conflict concept to that of the movie Spiderman.  In this movie, Peter Parker''s (Spiderman) uncle Ben tells him, "With great power comes great responsibility." In Spiderman Peter Parker abuses his powers by wrestling other goons in order to win money. Eventually, he would utilize his spider powers to save the city. In Big Hero 6 Hiro first decides to use his intellect by bot fighting. In the city of San Fransokyo, bot fighting is illegal. Because of Hiro's older brother, he decides that he want to put his intellect towards benevolent regards. Hiro would then assimilate from becoming an illegal bot fighter to providing justice to his city that professor Callaghan would have destroyed. In both of these movies, a significant figure in the main characters' lives offered priceless advice that would end up with a metamorphosis  for the main characters. Unfortunately, these great characters would have to die. In the end, "Great power comes with great responsibility." - Uncle Ben.
