This didn't happen or was part of Captain America: First Avenger at all. The whole thing was literally about Steve's morals not being challenged at all, whatever the circumstances.
Everything else is pretty on point, though.
>The lead character has a mentor figure that encourages his/her fighting spirit even against the wishes of other authority figures, and is shot dead early in the story to galvanize the lead character to action.
This is too common to list, dude. Strike it.

It was a better movie, though. First Avenger had a strong start but fell apart from the montage onwards.
Winter Soldier is more on the same level of quality.
