"Confucius", as gentle as jade, we are impetuous

I just watched "Confucius" directed by Hu Mei. There was no unexpected excitement or disappointment. It was just calm, just warm, like a warm wind blowing me, giving my restless brain a comfortable bath. It's actually quite enjoyable on such a cold winter night.

As the saying goes, "The elephant is invisible, and the sound is sighing." In the face of such a character and such a subject, if someone has the courage to shoot it, we should already be in awe. Just like everyone has a "Hamlet" in their hearts, and everyone has a "propriety, music, benevolence and righteousness" in their hearts, to interpret a sage like Confucius in a way that is generally acceptable to everyone today, at least in my opinion, it should be Hu Mei stood up and should applaud for "Father".

I probably read the comments on the Internet, it can be said to be smoky and unsightly, all kinds of abuse, misunderstandings, Kong Hei and even boring quarrels. The movie can only be "meeting late" with us now. Maybe this movie was made five years earlier, and it must have been a great applause. Because any market, any cultural product, has already been filled with spoof, vulgar, and fast-food consumption, and we have been habitually manipulated and lost our former selves. So, no matter whether you are a "sage" or a "lay", you can scold you.

After pondering, I feel that people have long been accustomed to enjoying stimulation, and what other people do, as long as they refresh themselves, they will not think about tomorrow. This has been ruined in many environments. Just look at our lives, so much fake news hits our eyes every day through various media, dirtying our eyes and insulting our IQ. So many black-hearted foods are loaded into a pair of bodies through one mouth every day, damaging our stomachs and trampling our health. So many cultural deformities fill every corner of every city every day, which affects our aesthetics and even loses our judgment... This is the environment we live in, and this is one by one you and me in the environment. No wonder Hu Mei, and no wonder "Confucius".

From the movie, it's pretty complete. The main excerpts from the stories of Confucius can basically explain what kind of person he was. Of course, at that time, who was not "like a lost dog" who was running around trying to find a way to survive. If a person who is not an official, not a gentleman, not a king or a prince, can make so many people leave their homeland and say goodbye to their villagers to follow him around the world, he will be either a wise man or a wise man. The reason why we still have the same expectations, still hope that the world will be better, and still have kind hearts, shows that there is still a tenderness in our hearts. This does not require more language. This warmth will not change, nor will it change. It cannot be easily changed. These are all bred and developed by thousands of years of traditional culture. We can laugh at Director Hu’s lack of skill, and we can laugh at Brother Fa for losing his heroic qualities, but we can’t laugh at Confucius, we can’t have no sense of awe, we can’t make fun of others at will, and we can’t be without any The power of restraint. Because freedom is always relative.

Suddenly I thought of Wang Xiaobo, if possible, I would also be his "running dog"!
