I think this summary is very good. First, Chow Yun-fat's acting is awesome. Second, this Confucius is too stupid.
In the movie, Confucius' idiot is first reflected in his political incompetence.
As soon as she came up, she fought for the sake of a little slave and urged the abolition of the funeral system. And this little slave was Ji Sunsi's father's favorite slave servant during his lifetime. Confucius stabbed a political enemy in the heart before he could stand firm, and buried hatred that could not be resolved. What a newborn calf in his fifties!
Afterwards, the Qilu Union met, and Confucius borrowed a military chariot from Ji Sunsi to protect Lu Jun. If you have just made a relationship with someone, can he lend you a military chariot? Confucius couldn't control this, but he went to Ji Sunsi with empty hands and righteousness. After the two of them competed with arrows, Ji said, if you can beat me, I promise to lend you 500 military vehicles. When Confucius heard this, he took a shot and beat Ji Sunsi. Ji said again, that's okay, General Gong Shantou has the final say about the military vehicle, you can find him. As a result, Confucius still did not borrow the military chariot, and was teased for nothing. In fact, anyone with a little vision can see that Confucius is self-inflicted ashamed.
The least capable thing Confucius did was to cut Sanhuan. The purpose is good, but the method is the lowest. You don't want people to be separated, just tear down their city walls? In the spring and autumn of troubled times, once the city wall falls, the enemy country will inevitably come. Isn't this something you can think of with your knees? How could a sage like Confucius not expect it? In this play, Confucius was portrayed as "one tendon" + "low IQ".
Indifferent Confucius
Confucius loves benevolence, or loves people. Confucius said that to govern a country well is to keep men safe and women keep their duties. Confucius also said that one must cultivate one's body, align the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. It's a pity that after reading "Confucius", I feel that Confucius is very restless, and even some are ruthless and indifferent to abandoning his wife and children.
It is said that Confucius decided to run away from home as soon as he was run on the state of Lu. His wife, one son and one daughter are all gone. Hong Qigong said in "Evil in the East and Poison in the West", what's wrong with taking his wife to the rivers and lakes? Confucius couldn't do it. Presumably Mrs. Kong stayed in the state of Lu and would not be welcomed.
Confucius went to Wei State for the first stop, and in front of Nanzi he achieved the state of sitting in a state of calmness, and showing affection and restraint. But I'm just wondering, just left his wife and children, why did Confucius "sit in his arms" and "in heat" so quickly? Especially in the play "Zi sees Nanzi", in the face of Nanzi's veneer whispering, Confucius not only did not avoid him, but slightly greeted him. No wonder Chow Yun-fat bluntly said "Nanzi is very fragrant!" in the promotional activities. If this scene in the movie is a historical fact, Confucius would have written in The Analects, "Nanzi is very fragrant!"
Nanzi said to Confucius, "Just ask the Master to stay behind to defend the country!" The corners of Confucius' eyes twitched. , with tears streaming down. And I can clearly see that Nanzi means that I can't keep your heart, and I want to keep your people. Confucius was both moved and panicked at this time, "I'm just afraid that I can't control myself, Master!". Next, Confucius told his disciples that it seemed that Wei Guo could not stay.
Many people say that in the movie "Zi meets Nanzi", just a few dialogues have completed the spiritual resonance between Confucius and Nanzi. And I am even more surprised by the speed, the fierceness, the ambiguity, the restraint and the eroticism between Confucius and Nanzi.
Confucius left his wife and son alone, but he also traveled around the world with a group of men who abandoned his wife and son. Is this "Security"? Is this the "Qi Family"? The strangest thing is that in the second half of the exile experience in the movie "Confucius", there is no footage of Mrs. Kong and a pair of children. Even when Confucius finally returned to the state of Lu, there was no description of the Confucius family. The film is made up so much anyway, why bother so much? It made Confucius look like a man with no sense of responsibility.
After reading "Confucius", I think this character is very poorly written. The biggest failure is that Confucius is not cute, even a little hateful, so I neither sympathize with him nor appreciate him. The only highlight of the film is that Chow Yun-fat portrayed this bad character brilliantly.
