Courage isn’t simply “doing dangerous things”. It’s “acting in spite of fear”. People who are too dumb to feel the fear don’t get brownie points for “being brave”.

I'm sure she was very fearful. She acted in spite of fear. I don't believe any person, or creature, is immune to fear. I'm sure she was very courageous.
That sounds to me like you’re projecting your own assessment of the situation onto her.
You haven’t addressed the simple reality that some people are unafraid of dangerous things purely because they don’t realize those things are dangerous.
She gives off no signs here that she respects the possibility that he might shoot her until after he wrestles control of the gun back and points it at her.
At that point, it becomes clear that she’s finally aware of the danger and (at least during the clip) makes no further attempt.
If this is such an “act of courage”, one is left to wonder where that “courage” went when she was made abundantly aware of the mortal threat she was bringing upon herself.
I can recognize courage, yes. Unless you are also now saying I am stupid as well. But then that sounds like you are projecting your own assessment of the situation into me.
