After watching "Confucius" for a long time, I found it a little disappointing, not as good as I thought. In this epic film, Confucius is portrayed as a hero who is not afraid of the powerful (abolishing the burial system of the living), a hero who turns the corner (Jiagu Huimeng, a soldier who retreats with an ox without fighting), and a hero who turns the tide (putting down the rebellion) , With the above all-powerful brilliance, the exile narrative in the second half of the film gives us the feeling that the hero is at the end of the road, the hero is unwilling, and his ambitions are not fulfilled! The film uses a lot of space to show the grand war scenes, which seems to be overpowering!
The entire film highlights that Confucius was a statesman, and even had some planning talent as a military strategist. But I think Confucius should be mainly an educator, a sage who lives in peace and happiness. In the film, the language of prose and poetry should be used to poetically express the scenes of Confucius preaching and taking classes; A wonderful conversation with the teacher, he spread knowledge in the arduous travels of various countries... Finally, after Confucius returned to Lu, he was looking forward to seeing the scene where he taught the Dao, and seeing many disciples sitting there with great interest, Rao I listened to Confucius's lectures with interest and was influenced by culture, but the film stopped abruptly.
Confucius is a great thinker and educator in ancient my country, the founder of Confucianism, and one of the most famous cultural celebrities in the world. Compiled my country's first chronicle history book "Spring and Autumn". Our educator Confucius once said many famous aphorisms:
Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is perilous.
After reviewing the old and learning the new, you can be a teacher.
Learn and learn from time to time, don't you say it? Have friends come from afar? People don't know but don't feel sullen, isn't it a gentleman?
Three people must have my teacher, choose the good ones and follow them, and the bad ones and change them.
A gentleman wants to be slow in words, but quick in action.
The gentleman is compared to righteousness, and the villain is compared to profit. . . .
Regrettably, the image of Confucius as an educator is not fully displayed in the film. There are few scenes of Confucius preaching and teaching, writing and writing. Occasionally, it is not solemn and passes by. This should be one of the major shortcomings of the film. Let's go. Of course, Confucius was born in a turbulent age where rituals collapsed and music broke down. To show his learning and being a teacher must reflect his turbulent times; but turbulent times and wars, as the background of Confucius' times, can only be used as a foil, and cannot be ignored. It should show the true meaning of Confucius's learning as it should be displayed.
Why abandon the image of Confucius as an educator and insist on portraying Confucius as a political hero? Probably because now is the era of fierce competition in the market economy, the era when the market calls for corporate heroes and winners to be king, and the era when China's total economic volume is becoming the second largest in the world. Therefore, Chinese images in the 21st century, and the struggle in the market economy. Chow Yun-fat, who has risen to the top of the film king step by step, seems to have no choice in describing Confucius as a hero! But I still think that in the film and television works, the identity of Confucius educator is the best commemoration for him by our descendants!
I have little knowledge, I don't understand movies, I don't understand art, the above opinions are just my opinions.
