Confucius may have it’s critics, both factual and political, but the film still looks glorious and the performance of Chow Yun Fat is truly outstanding. I think many people are coming at it with almost ‘too much knowledge’. It will hit a wider audience here in the UK tomorrow (Monday 4th Oct), when Cine-Asia release it on DVD and Blu-ray – I think that there will be a lot of people that will appreciate the quality and the introduction to one of history’s greats

Sometimes I would think Confucius is still ahead of us in times, people these days still won’t have half the brain to comprehend what he is really trying to teach.

Confucius is older than Christ and he deserves respect and he emphasized so much on education and virtue.

When I look at modern society it makes me rather depressed.

Confucius also knew there humanity were full of losers such as the China smack ones in here who make lame one line comments.

It’s rather immature when you read people posting stupid Confucius jokes as if they were even funny.

Get a life, those jokes are old and they were never funny.

This world is getting dumber by the day.

By the way Avatar sucks, advertisers hype it up and Hollywood controls your little pea brain.

After reading these blogs I find myself disappointed in Chinese quality of movie criticism. As a foreigner and as a student of Chinese history I look for more and more knowledge of the truthful history of China NOT flying people walking through fire and on tree tops with no truth. It seems that the only quality of Chinese viewers is found in violence and KunFu. I enjoyed Confucius movie but must ask what parts is true or make believe.
It cannot be denied, Confucius is most influential because he was a teacher, philosopher and writer, a man of ethics, not for his war or political life. The world needs more people like Confucius, Mahatma Gandhi, teachers who improve peoples character, truthful teachers not religious teachers or warriors.

Absolutely right. The ad hominem attacks and vapid jealously aganst the female lead is dominating this post. The vitriol against actresses (like Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi) from people in China is disturbing at best.
