Confucius Chinese Movie Plot Summary:
The life story of the highly-influential Chinese philosopher, Confucius.Confucius Chinese Movie Reviews:
The film is currently scheduled to screen later in 2009 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, as well as the 2,560th birthday of Confucius himself.
All of those freed-up screens will now show Confucius --a biography of the ancient philosopher, as played by
Chow-Yun Fat. Reports in Hong Kong state that the decision was due to "the urging of propaganda officials who are concerned that Avatar is taking too much market share from Chinese films and drawing unwanted attention to the sensitive issue of forced evictions." By that they don't mean evicting James Cameron's film early, but rather the millions of Chinese residents who have been moved to clear the way for high rises and infrastructure projects. However, some say it's simply a matter of Chinese New Year, a time when domestic films get room to shine.
The first trailer for the Chinese production Confucius is probably a better option for US audiences. The new one seems hasitly assembled; there's not much
Consistency from one moment to the next. However, because that first trailer is so good and the latest one shows off more of the scope of the movie, I'm not in any way discouraged by what I've seen. I just think this new trailer, even though it's subtitled, doesn't have much in common with trailers we normally see.
The trailer for Chow Yun Fat’s next project, Confucius, recently hit the internet, and it’s gathered quite a bit of attention. The trailer forgoes dialog completely, and instead we’re treated to three minutes of gorgeously shot epic scenes, all set to a somber soundtrack. The film is directed by Mei Hu, a director I’m not at all
familiar with, but apparently she’s trusted enough to handle a ~$20 million epic. The film was developed in part with the Chinese government, and is part of an initiative to promote the philosophy of Confucius.After the abomination that was Dragonball Evolution, it’s nice to see Chow Yun Fat in a respectable film once again (I’m also amped to check him out in Mikael Hafstrom’s new film Shanghai). I’m hoping that this ends up better than his last epic, Curse of the Golden Flower—how Zhang Yimou screwed that film up is beyond me. Watching this trailer also reminds me of what John Woo’s Red Cliff could have been like if we got to see Chow and Tony Leung mix things up once again.

Chow Yun-Fat plays the legendary philosopher in the new bio-pic, and at $22 million, you can see that the filmmakers got a lot for their money. The film reportedly took nearly a year to shoot, and it shows, not just because we see all four seasons. Some of these set pieces would require days if not weeks just to set up.
So just know that the new trailer is a little herky-jerky, but pay attention to the details Mei Hu puts in every shot. Lots to recommend the film, based on what little we've seen.
We don't have any release dates outside of the Chinese and Hong Kong markets (January 28th), but we'll let you know as soon as we hear anything about European or North American releases.
So just know that the new trailer is a little herky-jerky. This Movie Links With Review Thousands of people think same so download and watch movies whenever and wherever they want.
