Confucius
Although, in the West at least, the name Confucius is widely known, and indeed often misused, very few people are actually aware of either his teachings, or the events of the Great Sage’s life, which stretched from 551 to 479Bc. With the trend for big budget Chinese costume epics continuing unabated, a Confucius film was perhaps inevitable, though thankfully the production had a steady hand at the helm in the form of 5th generation director Hu Mei, who had previously won praise for her acclaimed historical drama series “Yong Zheng Dynasty” and “The Emperor in Han Dynasty”. Perhaps more enticingly, the film also boasts the legendary Chow Yun Fat in the lead role, marking somewhat of a change for the actor, still best known for his iconic action roles in the likes of “A Better Tomorrow” and “The Killer”, and who of late has rather embarrassed himself in a handful of substandard Hollywood outings.
