Milo's
weapon was a
pencil.
The
wizard awarded it to him because he
poked holes in the wizards
logic and
pointed out that the wizard, who publicly
believed that he could never agree with his buddy, in fact
agreed to disagree with his buddy. By
aligning himself at a
pole of
negativity, he became
out of balance. He showed the wizard
the errors of his ways, and offered a different
perspective.
The wizard was
pleased by this demonstration, and in reward gave
Milo the
most powerful weapon of all.
...A pencil.
Used
wisely, the wizard told Milo that with it he would have
all the power he ever needed to
do or
defeat anything in the
world.
His
weapons were
words, and
numbers.
Watching this
movie, being a
hacker, was one of the most
influential moments in my life.
