Hero

The movie Hero was a great film that starred the ever so great Jet Li. In this film a character named Nameless takes up the emperor's offer of defeating his three great enemies for gold, land, and to be closer to the emperor. One day Nameless find the emperor and shows him three weapons. These weapons were the weapons of broken sword, flying snow, and sky. Nameless told the emperor that he defeated his enemies and the emperor  believed him for he had the weapons of the three great powers. This is where the importance of words comes in. The emperor did not know this, but Nameless made a deal with the three enemies to take their weapons and claim he was a great sword fighter so he could get close enough to the emperor to assassinate him. Throughout the entire movie Nameless lies and lies and lies to the emperor. At the end of the film Nameless does not end up assassinating the emperor because he realizes that only through the emperor can unity happen. Nameless is a true hero because he did not kill the emperor even though he wanted. He thought it through and with his words helped the emperor to believe that China could unite.
