First of all, Confucius's life does not have many elements of drama, and there are not many things to discover; secondly, the greatness and splendor of Confucius are more reflected in his thoughts, and how can such abstract things be shown through feature films Woolen cloth.
So, the director used two tips. The first one dramatized the life of Confucius, and even made up the plot of the Queen of Wei to seduce Confucius based on the little clues in the historical records. But it failed, because it always felt awkward and clumsy to play with the saint from ancient times.
The second tip: the big scene of war. However, it seems that after the Mulan and Chibi series, the audience is already tired of the bloody and majestic ancient battlefields. After the baptism of 2012 and avatar, their expectations for stunts have obviously risen to a new level, so I saw "Confucius" Those low-level special effects all feel shabby for the Master.
Therefore, the 70-dollar ticket is not a shocking epic giant system, but a powerful sleeping pill, which makes people less interested. This state of chaos continued until Faye Wong's singing sounded. be broken.
Obviously, the director has entered a misunderstanding about how to shape Confucius. She thought that if Confucius quoted scriptures in every sentence, filled with quotations in the Analects, in a crisis, with an open mind and full of poetry and books, she could create a sage Confucius. But the excavation of Confucius' human nature is only a shallow taste. After watching it, I always feel that the film has a strong sense of fabrication. The most incomprehensible thing is that he can ask the students for warmth, try to wake up the students who are frozen to death by his own body temperature, protect the young slaves of the Sanheng family from being buried under huge pressure, and leave his wife and daughter to wander. When he was in various countries, he was unusually free and easy, and in the decades of wandering, he did not show any thoughts about his family.
It seems that it is not that we have made Confucius a myth, or that Confucius himself has given himself a myth.
