Get Serious With The Trailer For Confucius![]()
When you’ve got a film starring Chow Yun-Fat you expect to see an awesome display of martial arts. On the other hand, when that film is called Confucius, you’ve got to accept the fact that you’re not getting any action and in the case of this new trailer, no dialogue either.
Quiet Earth posted the trailer for Mei Hu’s film about the Chinese philosopher. Okay, I know Confucius is a serious guy and had a major impact on East Asian civilization, but can you say ‘yawn?’ Yes, the trailer is packed with beautiful imagery, but that’s not enough to make it feel more like an enjoyable film and less like a history lesson. Confucius’ China release will coincide with the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China as well as Confucius’ 2,560th birthday. At the moment the film doesn’t have a U.S. distributor, so it’s uncertain when it’ll hit theaters here, if at all.
