Sun Tzu.... By all accounts, Michael was the most noble of all characters in the movie, a reluctant ruler who was passed on the reigns of a kingdom he did not wish to have. But his idealist nature was his downfall. He played the game by the rules and this made him inflexible and inhumane. In contrast his father balanced his ideology with humanity. You can see this even in the opening scene where he strokes a cat. The difference between a "persevering hero" and a "cold blooded monster" is less often the ideology than humanity. Only those who somehow manage to keep a balance between conflicting demands and stay human can claim faith and perseverance. The rest are killing machines. Sun Tzu IMO...we are all basically killing machines even those among us appearing to hold a balance between conflicting demands and idealistic wants....Realism always wins.... We are all survivalists, each in our own little ways, here in America it is just not so difficult to survive and threfore we can indulge ourselvs in a little intellectual discourse on how others are surviving or should be or some such other meaningless debate over whether or not we shoud be in Iraq ..... regards being surrounded by 100 Bhuddists ...not if it was Korea 1953 or Nanking 1939 or Tibet in 1975.... Bhuddists are not immune to evil thoughts and deeds if they believe and are instructed by their elders/leaders to destroy all before them in order to purify...... and on and on and on and on........ My Tribe, your Tribe.... live by the Golden Rule...it is pure. regards
