About This Quote

You're no better. Playing dress-up like you know right from wrong. Who made you the fucking hero?I did. This is a quote from a film called "The Fountain" starring Hugh Jackman.

When the film first came out, many people were outraged that he would say this to his children. However, if taken in context, his point is clear: the hero is not the person who does good, but the person who tries to do good. In this film, he is trying to teach his son right from wrong and how to have a moral compass, since there was no one else around to show him what was right or wrong.

He was not calling himself a hero; he was simply trying to teach his son how to be a hero.
