We are misled by Hollywood as well as we are wrong by myths and myths.
While demonstrating Hollywood self-control, we see people trained to perform difficult missions without dropping a single sweat drop to race drivers, pilots bomb disposal experts.
Tom Cruise's return to scenes as Maverick Top Gun, an example. Maverick is pure focus and coolness. As a pilot, he breaks all the rules and is confident he can only beat everything by virtue of his talent.
What happens with Maverick? Maverick enters a completely out of control situation. Maverick collapses with the loss of his friend Goose. He gets drunk, refuses to fly, and falls off.
