Foreigners like to ask Confucius this and that, and there are also profound questions such as "it is better to teach him to fish than to teach him to fish" whether it is from the Analects of Confucius or the Tao Te Ching (Sajia only knows that it is not from Lao Tzu. , I really don't know about others), I always say haha "Actually, Mr. Kong has not been the boss in China for many years." So, since he hasn't been the boss for many years, and he has been beaten down a lot, what's the motivation for going to shoot now? The idea of commercial films is that there is a market for this subject matter, and the idea of literary films is that there is love for this subject matter. I don’t see the market, so I can only guess that it’s because the director has love, and it’s a bit confusing to make such a film with love.
However, as a biopic named after the protagonist, no matter what kind of thinking, there are always two basic elements: people and events.
So what kind of person is Mr. Kong?
Although the identity of Laodou is also unknown, and he is also wandering in a difficult world with a group of disciples, after all, Mr. Kong and his mother (I am not cursing) definitely did not create the medical miracle of a virgin birth, so Mr. Kong also cannot make water into water. Wine, or magic like walking on water, it is even more impossible for a person to come alive after death, so why is he looked up to by the future, and he needs one that is the same as "My father is God, and I bear the cross for the world's atonement". There are strong reasons, otherwise it will appear that the Chinese are nonsensical.
At the beginning of the film, it is mentioned that Confucius advocated the restoration of the rituals of Zhou, but they did not talk about the benefits of the rituals. For example, in modern times, everyone wants to restore the etiquette of "three kneels and nine kowtows" to the core, but can't come up with reasonable propositions such as "kneeling more is conducive to moving the knee joints", "more kowtowing is conducive to blood circulation", etc., will definitely be scolded. nc~~~ So from the beginning to the end, I feel that Mr. Kong is a little bit of a stick in this regard, which makes it difficult for people to understand.
But on the one hand, he is very particular about imitating Zhou Li to the full tenth in form, but when he turns his head, he argues with people that "we should introduce the old and bring forth the new." If he is willing to go to the burial, I will let this little slave die.” (Yes, I know this is debate, but the problem is that the starting point of this proposal or the trap goes against his so-called “benevolent love for others” position. , does not conform to the logic of the debate), and it makes people feel a little suspicious.
Next, compared to the introduction of "how can ritual and music promote the state and govern the country", which I am very curious about (I only said that Confucius had "great governance" after he took office, but he didn't mention any specific methods and methods. I feel better than me. All fools), the greater interest in the film is to lay out his strategic martial arts. It may be recorded in The Analects, and the screenwriter clearly believes that as a thinker, educator, and politician, Mr. Kong's IQ level, tactical arrangement and archery skills are more important than his philosophical thoughts and political propositions, so in the Qilu Association. In the scene of the alliance, I seemed to see Zhuge Wuhou's crossing (Fage, from a certain point of view, this is also a kind of compensation) - as expected, all the characters in Gao Daquan are the same Gao Daquan. .
In the same way, I don't see how Sanhuan "does evil" and "endangers the country" - is it because the wall is built a little higher, and there are reasonable explanations (in the border areas to prevent the enemy from coming), is it because the tax is heavy It's a bit better, and people have reasonable explanations (kao, when you Lu Jun wants soldiers with two arms in their sleeves, you ask me for them, and when they are used up, they will be returned to me to raise them. Ah), I only saw that Mr. Kong grabbed other people's land and still won't pay it back (I said this is someone's fief, isn't it according to Zhou Li that as long as he grabs it, he doesn't need to pay it back?), and he gave it to his students. It is obvious that the parties are fighting against differences, forming cliques, establishing cronies, and arrogating the monarch.
Therefore, the conclusion is: Mr. Kong is a politician - not worthy of a "politician", but a politician, because in the end he tried to conspire and shoot himself in the foot.
In the first half, I introduced how this politician has the perseverance that a good politician should have (Yi's constant "Zhou Li" and so on, a look like "a lover is not as good as an old one" reminds me of a similarly persistent person named Zhou Li. The classmates of "Wang Mang" sighed that the same kind of thought, with a stroke of the historian's pen, different people would have different fates), fine points and black belly, but was defeated by a political enemy even more black-bellied than him (I can't use "frame" , because there is no right or wrong in politics, only winning or losing), it begins to enter the stage of "basic teaching of Confucius' famous sayings".
In the first half, the students who only heard the name and did not show up very much ran out and showed their faces collectively. To everyone, they didn’t have a wife and son to support. I don't want to pursue the state of my life. The ancients were used to being self-willed in Chinese movies. But even if you don't want to tell me why Confucius floated around the country (in the meaning of this film, it seems that he just wanted to go back to Lu country next to each other, which is completely contradictory to what he said at first about "helping the Zhou clan". Divided), then at least it will give a reason to expel Confucius from various countries. One moment ago, it was still a sweet pastry (isn't there still two countries writing credentials to kill people?) The next moment it became a hot potato without even a transition and no reason? Kao, the ancients were too capricious.
Of course, Confucius was more willful, saying "I think Wei Guo is about to be in chaos" and ran away. I didn't figure it out at the time. The monarch invited you back to govern the country. Since the country is going to be in chaos, let's not say that you should have professional ethics. As a human being, you have to have some sense of loyalty, but when you see that the situation is not good, you run away. This has the face to teach the students, "As long as we restore the Zhou Li, the world will be at peace, the people will be happy, and the country will be in great order, even the flowers and grass carp. Insects can get to know more." How can I look at this, I feel hypocritical... But my three views are not right, maybe this kind of person hurries to run before the nest is wrapped around his eggs, and then he will be calm and compassionate when he has run away. It is a kind of virtue and great wisdom to say "the old man is the old man and the old man" (yes, I know this is actually from the sentence in "Mencius") (Wang Tian ing)
As the protagonist, Confucius is not likable, he has no personality, no points and no features. After reading it, I can't understand why those Confucian scholars who are full and like to study his words and deeds as "Bible", and also I believe that if you study thoroughly, you will be able to govern the country and bring peace to the world. As a story, this movie is boring, it has no main line, no climax and no problem. It felt like an extended version of a certain hundred-episode TV series, and at the end I drank a bland drink.
But when Nanzi appeared, the grass was growing, Yingfei's, and the thighs were swinging. For a moment, I thought that I was going to go the way of the joke and make some unscrupulous love, so I finally got my head up. Come on, I can't think of the final lecture. Nanzi's meaning is simply that he wants to hook Confucius to be his son's husband. In the future, he will hold the thigh of a famous person and abolish the current prince. However, this going is too low. Going is also a matter of succession and transformation. Well, the woman Wang Po also knows that there must be one, two, three, four, five to "suffer the light".
But I said, "good virtue is like lust" itself doesn't seem to be a derogatory word, "food sex is also", to be as good as lust is to say good virtue is like nature, that's a good thing, why is it used in this environment so evil (Could it be that Mr. Kong really meant to use it to scold people? In this case, Confucius would be a little more confident in himself, let’s not talk about the face of the elder brother, Mr. Kong, how can you see that Nanzi is an uncle control at a glance? , it's just like meeting you now? It's reasonable to guess that Confucius was also a handsome guy who was recognized at the time, and he was also an old-fashioned kind.
Speaking of this, Sajia almost forgot to vomit. :
1. Mr. Kong, there is something wrong with your "painting the ground as a prison", why does it sound awkward to me.
2. When did you become a student of Lao Tzu, Mr. Kong? This, this, this I don't know wow.
3. Mr. Kong, you are so embarrassed to delete the "Book of Songs" into this kind of virtue, but you don't know if the "good" in "a gentleman is good" should be used as an adjective to interpret the third tone (or did Sajia read it wrong all the time?)
4. The meaning of "using nine, the dragons have no heads, and auspiciousness" does not mean "as long as the other party has no heads, it will be auspicious", but it should be said that now the east wind does not overwhelm the west wind, and the west wind does not overwhelm the east wind. , is changing to the upper position, so it is "good". The line you received after this hexagram is actually "as long as they are headless" and so on, you are now pretending that you haven't done "Yi" like you did with "Book of Songs".
PS: "Convincing people with virtue" is a good idea, just like "the old man and the old man blahblahblah, the world is harmonious" is a good socialist ideal, the problem is not the ideal itself, but "how to realize it" ? Reverence and reverence, fearlessness means no reverence, and the original intention of human beings to sacrifice to heaven and earth is still fear of disasters. Therefore, if there is "no shame and no morality" and there is no punishment, it will be difficult to implement only through deception, and if there is punishment, isn't "moral shame" already included in the judicial system and become a rule? This ms has become a legalist. This is why I am curious about how Confucius can achieve "great governance" by relying on "rites and music". Could it be that when there is a famine in one place, you can teach people the scriptures, listen to music, and everyone will not steal, rob, kill, or burn?
In fact, according to "A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy", Confucius should have been the first to put forward the idea of "brainwashing the whole people and creating a harmonious society". He demanded that the cumbersome etiquette system be restored and enforced. Mandatory behavior gives people a sense of restraint, which leads to habit and awe, so that they can follow the rules in life and dare not take a step. As for what is a reasonable "rule", what is "good", and what is "the way of the ruler, the minister, the father, the son and the husband and wife", it is naturally up to him, Mr. Kong, to have the final say.
I feel that it is fortunate that he did not succeed, otherwise the Central Plains would not know that the Year of the Monkey, the Horse and the Moon could be unified. But on the flip side, those who go against history and act regardless of reality are destined to fail. At the end of the day I still don't understand why I worship him like a god. Even in this century, he must be shaped into such a tall and comprehensive image. Humans are human beings. People must have flaws, short-sightedness, weaknesses, and look like a person. Only then can they have a real sense of joy and sadness, and only have a cuteness. Otherwise, even if the director deliberately kills him, I can't even fight the rot. It can be seen that this character setting is really not cute.
