As a landmark building representing the top category of oriental culture, Confucius is quite profound in the cleansing of culture, art, morality, values, and national consciousness. It is this kind of "profoundness" that makes the world, including the ruling class in feudal society, worship Confucius almost to the extreme. Whether it is a watch for all ages or a wooden duo in the sky, Confucianism, which has been continuously inherited, refined and even mythologically inherited by Chinese civilization, is more like an insurmountable piece of glass for the Chinese in the 21st century, that is, it preserves the most pure Chinese The trait also blocks the possibility of this trait trying to evolve and try to break through.
A 2007 film, This Man From Earth. A "science fiction movie" without any computer special effects, no grand war scenes, or even a few outdoor shots, firmly tied the attention of countless Eastern and Western audiences at that time. The film interprets the objective existence of God with a "high-precision" historical timeline + the historical sci-fi perspective of "God's soul and body".
The film has an 8.1 rating on IMDB. What is more important than ratings and praise is the common recognition of the religious community and the atheist common people. And this common recognition is almost impossible to achieve under normal circumstances. Religious people represent the orthodox messenger status between God and the world, and the religious world has always expressed neutrality and rejection of the term science fiction. In such a film, the almost seamless historical events and locations; the completely interlocking timeline; all absolutely fatal questioning views and impeccable answers make the oriental audience watching this film also feel a little coolness behind it. It even made people in the religious world feel new to this film, and even had the idea of going back and re-reading the Bible that they had seen countless times.
The intersection of culture, religion and history is Confucius in the Eastern world. If it is a movie of the same name, I am afraid that this movie is enough to be beaten by countless people in the conception stage. Movies are time-bound, cost-bound, and subject-bound. And the realization of "Confucius" has to face the separation of material selection: is it a life history? Is it a value point? Is it an educational career? Or is it a repeat of an important event woven together by fragments? No matter which point of view is taken from the above points, "Confucius" is difficult to be recognized by audiences who value other aspects. After all, no matter what angle the audience is, it is enough to form a faction, and there are a large number of believers in the real society. Therefore, it is difficult to avoid a new round of verbal criticism when the film is released. And the popularity brought by this kind of verbal criticism is only the beneficiary of Confucius and his "disciples", not the film itself~ The reason is not so deep and difficult to understand---the value of the film as a cultural carrier is quite delicate, When it faces the disputes of various schools and factions with profound humanistic and historical accumulation, the value of "fuse" is far greater than the value of "appreciation". After all, "Confucius", composed of some stars and some scripts, is not enough to cover up the profound influence of Confucianism on China and the world, and then attract the audience to enjoy it: the debate has already begun, and the values It has already been established, do we still need to delve into the fuse of the debate?
Perhaps, "Confucius" itself is not wrong, there is something wrong, it should be the schedule. That is, the "master watch for all generations", why bother to "pay New Year's greetings"? Wouldn't it be better to put it on the National Day schedule after students start school? Aside from the highlights of "Nanzi" by ordinary audiences, the film itself is acceptable as an educational theme.
