Not as bad as the reviews I've seen describe it.
With limited knowledge of The Analects, the movie should be a lot according to the above records.
When Confucius was alive, he only lived a trivial life. It was shot piecemeal, isn't it inevitable that it will be loose? When Zi saw Nanzi, Nanzi became Confucius' confidante. Nothing bad either. Confucius's body is far from moving, at least it shows that he is a person, not some saint who was mythed by later generations.
Chow Yun Fat is really good. Hui Fang is also very good. Chen Jianbin is also not bad, not as pretentious as before. Ren Quan didn't think he was outstanding, and his youthful face was really surprising, mainly because Confucius had changed too much in comparison. Also, since it was based on historical facts, did Yan Hui really die from diving for bamboo slips?
Basically the output of some backward values. There is no way.
The most unbearable is the "promise" and "promise", I rely on, other lines are a modern mess. Getting a "No" is retro? When I saw it, I wanted to scold you, promise you a dead head.
For mainland Chinese directors, this movie is not bad.
