But unlike all the other heroes we talked about, they had a tragic event that they could not control. WIth Amir, he chose not to help, therefore he could have controlled what had happened. Knowing that, is Amir really a hero?

One part that definitely stuck out as hero's journey is when Amir was at his lowest point in life. There is always a part in movies where something happens that puts the protagonist(s) in a dark place in life. Something usually happens at the end to cheer them up again.
