      Confucius was an ordinary man

      The director used the taste of a TV series to popularize, characterize, and even bereavement of the mysterious sage in his impression, but this is also good, at least let us understand the glory, loneliness and decline of this sage and widowhood!
      At least this is a serious film. It is a little bland but it is also a complete success. Although it lacks Li Shaohong's gorgeous rhetoric, Zhang Yimou's elegant vision, and Li An's philosophical plot, it does have a display of Confucius's...

      Let's step on the bad film

      Confucius, who is full of flaws:
      1. The screenwriter and editor are in a mess. The whole film is 2 hours long, which gives the impression that the plot is extremely thin: it is just two time periods of exile and Lu State officials~ The portrayal of Confucius himself is not full at all: The reason turned out to be that it took a lot of time to shape Zhou Xun Nanzi? It took another time to shape Chen Jianbin?
      You change the title of the film to the love and hate between Confucius and...

      "Confucius", as gentle as jade, we are impetuous

      I just watched "Confucius" directed by Hu Mei. There was no unexpected excitement or disappointment. It was just calm, just warm, like a warm wind blowing me, giving my restless brain a comfortable bath. It's actually quite enjoyable on such a cold winter night.

        As the saying goes, "The elephant is invisible, and the sound is sighing." In the face of such a character and such a subject, if someone has the courage to shoot it, we should already be in awe. Just like everyone has a...

      also say Confucius

      In the evening, I watched the movie "Confucius" borrowed from my hometown. It seems to be very good, but the picture is too carved. It is said that some of the details are contrary to historical facts, such as when Yan Hui died. When encountering such films in the future, they should be more rigorous in history, just like Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ", and even the language tries to use the language of the time as much as possible. In the case of historical figures, overplaying the...

      Oops, Angel Kong!

      I have watched Confucius, mainly because I want to see how bad this film is. The conclusion is that it sucks. Not really a creative answer.

      I won't talk about what Confucius is actually a strong defender of slavery, a good medicine for brainwashing, a hypocrite, a hypocrite, etc. As far as this movie is concerned, I think it tells us the following points:

      1. The ancients basically relied on debate go the world. You have a great mouth is better than anything. And the essence...

      In the Western Hemisphere in the 1960s and 1970s, Confucius was a hippie; in the Eastern Hemisphere ten years ago, Confucius was a red mole. (People who are not familiar with the traditional culture of their own country will give four stars...

    Movie plot

    In the sixth century BC, the Zhou Dynasty, which had been standing for hundreds of years, was already in precarious situation. This is a magnificent and splendid era in Chinese history. In this era, there are wars, heroes, ideas, and writings. Chinese history is called the "ChunQiu period" era.
    Confucius is named Hill, the word Zhongni. He was born in a declining aristocratic family in a small vassal state at that time, the state of Lu....

    Behind the scenes gags

    In the trailer, Sage Kong uses his cane to easily defuse the sword stabbed by the barbarians. But in the feature film, this "martial drama" of Confucius was cut out.
    The 30-second trailer of "Confucius" International Ultimate Edition was edited by the film's director of photography, Bao Dexi.
    The modeling design team led by Lin Chaoxiang and Mao Huaiqing has created a total of 3,500 kinds of simple and gorgeous props, setting a record...

    About Yan Hui's death

    The scene of "Yan Hui's Death" was filmed in the autumn, and the location was chosen at the training center of the National Swimming Team. In order to reflect the authenticity of the ice layer, the crew specially customized dozens of tons of real ice. The temperature will still drop below zero, and eight shots were taken for a week. This heavy scene is Quan Ren's first scene in the group. Although Quan Ren can swim, he still has some...

    Evaluation action

    Fa Ge's performance is not bad. It should be said that it is not easy for a Hong Kong actor to play Confucius without causing frequent laughter. But what exactly is the charm of Confucius' characters? This is a problem that the film as a whole has not solved. No matter how good the acting is, there is nothing that can be done. It is good that domestic films pursue epic and connotation. But epics cost money. It's not that Confucius said...
