The reasons for recommending it are as follows:
1. It only pays tribute to the great sage Kong in Chinese history, and has nothing to do with this movie. What I'm trying to say is that this isn't a movie, it's a giant TV series. The director and his team were extremely ambitious, and the result was just the opposite. Read more.
2. The existence of serious Chinese historical dramas will undoubtedly warn those who are narcissistic and want the world to be the Korean stick and the little Japan that he invented - your father is still there, it's not your turn to go wild, full of nonsense. Many Chinese historical dramas, including "Confucius", are still necessary for their existence. Again, nothing to do with this movie.
3. This is a textbook-style movie, which proves that a TV drama director can make a movie that the people of the whole country look forward to in this way. On the road of making bad movies, there is nothing you can't think of. Only you dare not think. This time it's about the movie.
4. Please do not send this film to a foreign Confucius Institute. Of course, it is still very positive and healthy in terms of content, but if you want to simply understand Confucius, you should read the history books carefully. The good historical materials and comments from everyone are the right way - this film has a very poor sense of existence, and when viewed from a history textbook, it is too fancy; Foreigners joke that the great director of Chinese history filming does not even have the most basic storytelling skills.
The above are the reasons why I recommend it. The following is what I have to say about this movie, and I officially start to complain.
1. I have argued with people about this movie before, and that was when Director Hu led the generals to publicize it all over the world. I also kept saying that this movie should be well-made, and it should be how the audience should behave... There should be many reasons, and I felt that I was more professional than fifty cents at the time. To be honest, there were indeed expectations before this movie, but when you watch this movie with patience, well, Mrs. Hu, you have completely subverted the inherent human thinking about how movies are made. We Confucius became Archimedes in the first part and Plato in the second half. Sister Hu, your narrative style is a bit innovative, okay? You are making a movie, you are not making a documentary about the life of a great man, and you are not writing a historical record by Sima Qian. You thought you were making a TV series. I will give you 100 episodes, and each episode will be 40 minutes for you to shoot slowly. It's a movie - it's a good movie to tell a good story in its entirety in a limited amount of time. Your film is complete and complete, as complete as a history textbook, except that you did not describe Confucius when he was young. But such a script is large and empty, and everything is complete, so I simply read the history book.
Appraisal: This is a film and televisionization of a history book, and the filmization is quite blunt.
2. Acting and lines. I really convinced the screenwriter, and if I'm really unsure, don't write it. It feels like all the characters are filming TV series. If you are not careful, the audience who did not see the beginning will think they are watching the movie version of "Water Margin". You are filming the earliest group of intellectuals in Chinese history, not in Shooting Liangshan Heroes.
3. Aunt Hu wanted to make it into an epic, but ended up making it into a TV series. In the film, most of Confucius' life experiences should be known to those who have studied history. In this plot, Confucius's thoughts and emotional fluctuations basically feel like watching a drama, and it is a drama that is practiced daily. Here Of course there are screenwriter issues. Electricity does not make the audience feel immersed, so it is better to listen to the storytelling. There is basically no process in which the audience’s mood is constantly fluctuating with the protagonist’s experience, and this so-called poetic history makes people feel depressed except that the image of Confucius sage was portrayed like this by Aunt Hu, but also lamented that when the box office of Chinese movies was a big hit, anyone dared to dare. Take the money to make a movie. Purely from the style of poetry and history, Aunt Hu's filming is not as good as "Silver Empire".
4. Interestingly, I'm also watching an old man Clint Eastwood's "It Happens in People" recently. It is also about a historical figure known to women and children, but the film starts small, which is quite touching. This way of seeing the big from the small must be something that you will often see when you study movies, watch movies, and make movies. Does it have to be made into a high-level Daquan?
5. Special skills, not to mention. Since you have invested in this "epic masterpiece", can you show some sincerity and do a good job of the special effects in it? In this schedule, I happened to meet "Avatar". Of course, we don't want this Chinese historical drama to use such sophisticated technology and software. "Heroes"... Can't you design the bridge section where the high platform is set on fire? Do you have to have your own special effects like Aaron Kwok in "Silver Empire" where even little friends can see the faults?
6. I don't know if it's the screenwriter's problem, or the director deliberately made the ideological height very high. In other words, the meaning that the director wants to express in this film is constantly reflected through the dialogues of the characters, which has caused a problem of pretending to be deep. It is enough to have one Chen Kaige in China. Don't everyone fight to be a literary youth, okay? Telling stories well, stories are king, and everyone at Pixar, who made animations, knows the basic truth of "technology is not the foundation, but the story is the most important". Aunt Hu, I really don't want you to become China's second Uncle Chen. One is enough for us.
7. As for those related scandals and hype about their own selling points that were constantly made before the start of the release, I will not discuss them here. only
