It is said that Confucius is criticized very badly. I don't think so. Some people say that Confucius's stunts are really bad, and he can't compare with Avatar. It must be compared like this, but I can't help it.
"Confucius" is not a bad movie. 2009 is undoubtedly the "bad year" for Chinese films. Countless bad movies came out. We once wanted to do a "Movie Critic Network" on the topic of bad films. It's a pity it didn't make it - Tolstoy said: "Every good film has its own wonderful, but the bad film is the same" - We review and review, and the evaluation of each film is similar, no "I don't understand" means "don't dare to see". Cherish life and stay away from bad films. There is no need to try bad films in order to do so-called film reviews.
Comparing "Confucius" with the "group rotten" in 2009, the judgment is still high. I've said more than once that Confucius wrote and acted well (note, I've carefully avoided the director).
The plot is smooth and the story is more exciting. From Confucius's great use in the state of Lu, to the failure of the political struggle, and then to the vassal state, he finally returned to the state of Lu. I think the writers put their minds to it: the political struggle is very tight. The play "Zi Jian Nanzi" is not abruptly embedded in the play, and it is well proportioned. Although the wandering scene is a bit sloppy, the final difficult comeback is still very touching. Confucius left the state of Lu, and I felt wronged for him. Finally, the people of the country of Lu recognized the value of Confucius and hoped to take him back to serve as ambassadors. When an old man left his homeland for many years and finally returned to his homeland, he insisted on performing the old rituals at the gate of the city... A certain person accidentally watched a media field. The media people were frivolous and laughed frequently, but I watched and watched , still in tears.
Also, Chow Yun-fat's performance is still quite in place, from the image to the temperament I agree very much. Zhou Xun is like that, so Nanzi should be like Zhou Xun. Chen Jianbin, the old actor is like this. As for Yan Hui's not the youngest, who asked Yan Hui to call him "Yan Hui" is another matter.
Therefore, "Confucius" is a bad film. It is estimated that it was affected by the bad film year of 2009, and the brakes were not firm.
There are also brick masters called Beasts who say that "Confucius" has historical flaws, such as the death of Yan Hui and Zilu, the appellation between teachers and students, etc., which are mostly inconsistent with historical books. Speak righteously and with integrity. I have to say this and I can't help it. Isn't there someone who compares technology with "Confucius" and "Avatar"? There is a head wow.
"Confucius" is disappointing
. There is a scene in the film, which is very exciting to watch. It is the dialogue between Confucius and Laozi. I know that it is very tiring for the elderly to climb mountains, but I think the historic meeting between the two major thinkers in China should be like this. However, this is only what moved me by the position of Lao Tzu and Confucius in my heart, and has little to do with this film. In other words, in "Confucius", Confucius was consumed once again.
That's right, I cried when I read "Confucius", Brother Fa, I'm still a person. However, this movie is about Confucius, not an ordinary old man. I used to watch "Little Sheep's Going Home" and "Mom, Love Me Again", and I cried harder than this. But "Confucius", you can't make it into "An Old Man Is Going Home", "The King, Love Me Again".
I want to know: How did Confucius' thought come about? What kind of brilliant thought is it? How remarkable is it to have such an idea in the Warring States period? What would China be like without Confucius? Too bad this movie doesn't have an answer. After reading "Confucius", holding hands and looking at tears, this old man is so miserable. But there is no sense of pride: "Look, this is our Confucius!" Is there? no. It's a long way from a biographical film like Gandhi.
70 years ago, Fei Mu made a film "Confucius", and I read the introduction. Fei Mu is worthy of being a master, and he has his own thinking in it. "Confucius" stands much higher than "Confucius". That's the director's problem. Fortunately, I don't pay attention to film reviews, and I said that after watching the interview with the director, you will be pissed off.
