So let's talk about the movie.
1. Confucius was very tall, and he knew martial arts.
I remember the portraits of saints I saw before, Confucius looked very old and thin. Confucius played by Chow Yun-fat is quite burly and tall. Although according to science, Asians at that time may not have reached such heights, but, well, at least visually makes us feel worshipped. Ha ha. The master said that although his father died early and had no regular teacher, he had acquired a good martial arts skill. Forgive me for knowing too little about Confucius. I don't know if this is a real show. However, as long as a wise person, let alone an upright Chinese man, in the Spring and Autumn Period when the feudal shackles were not yet strictly constructed, I believe that the Master was a man who stood up to the sky. Upright, full of benevolence, and firm eyes.
2. Zi see Nanzi?
The Analects of Confucius has not been read thoroughly, and historians' writings are even less well known. I am ashamed and urgently need to improve. However, the seemingly enchanting and shrewd Nanzi in the movie actually knelt down and worshipped Confucius in a phoenix suit. A virtuous person lives forever in the world. The master tried his best not to look directly into Nanzi's eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes at that moment. "Most people in the world can understand your pain, but very few people can understand the realm you have reached in this pain." ------ I am especially grateful for this sentence. Most people in the world can see Nietzsche's tears when he was holding a donkey and go crazy, but how many people can understand the height he reached and the beauty of overlooking? !
A stunning woman who is dealing with power, a wise man who vows to be benevolent, prostrate to each other for a sense of understanding.
I am willing, all the saints in the world who are not understood can have this beauty.
For thousands of people, even if only one person can understand it, there is a reason for this cause.
3. The way of the world and the way of the world
"Teacher, your way is detached from other things, but mine is in the world."
I think, I have always understood that the way of the world is bound to be more difficult and more painful.
But what history and human beings need is the way of the world, so, in the dark, this responsibility and pain is always thought and undertaken by very few people.
The world, the world.
The ideal of benevolent government and the well-being of the common people, the Master places his hopes on the king. As Yan Hui said, this is the root of tragedy.
All the tragedies of scholars are caused by confusion between ideals and politics.
I hope that someday, the world will be dominated by benevolence and wisdom.
3. The homework that needs to be made up
"The world understands me because of "Spring and Autumn", and also misunderstands me because of "Spring and Autumn".
I haven't read "Spring and Autumn". After watching the movie in the evening, I stopped by the bookstore at noon to see if there was "Spring and Autumn". "The Analects" has not been read.
I think the significance of the movie "Confucius" is not how comprehensively it explains Confucius, because it is just a movie after all, the audience is too wide, and the readers' acceptance is uneven. However, the revival of Chinese culture requires media such as movies to participate and guide.
Therefore, I thank Hu Mei.
