"Confucius" is not a tearjerker movie, but it is worth crying. About the insistence on benevolence that is not understood by others, about the choice of what to do and what not to do, about the unshakable ideal before reality. Although Nanzi doesn't have many roles, she is obviously someone who understands Confucius. "People in the world may be able to understand the pain of the Master, but they cannot understand the realm that the Master realized in the pain." The screenwriter borrowed Nanzi's mouth to express his own interpretation of Confucius. Although this interpretation is not unique, it has a certain height.
So I basically cried after watching this movie. The second half is indeed a bit sensational, but this sensationalism is exciting, not nauseating. After watching the movie, I said that the part of Confucius and Laozi was really beautiful. The young master said that the two of them had indeed met once. Confucius swam to Luoyang at that time to visit Laozi, who was the "curator of the National Library" at that time. I said that era is really fascinating, I found that each era can only emit light and beauty after the baptism of time. And the young master said that some people's thoughts are not understood by their contemporaries, and will be valued by people only in later generations, so the past era will be charming, and you will feel that there are many talents at that time. Such as Confucius, such as Nietzsche, such as Su Shi.
Rowling used Dumbledore's mouth to say a particularly moving sentence, what kind of person a person is, not by what he can do, but by what he chooses to do. Everyone can give in and bow their heads, but some people choose to stick to themselves. Confucius chose benevolence and entered the world with benevolence.
Being despised, being used, and being expelled did not change his ideal of being a person and doing things. The poor and the lowly cannot be moved, the mighty cannot be subdued, and the rich and the noble cannot be promiscuous. So later generations regarded Confucius as the most holy teacher. Poetry sage Du Fu, it is not that he cannot join forces with corrupt officials, or that he cannot give up the monarch and live on the sidelines. He took his whole family to starve, and he did not lose his ideals. As for Su Dongpo, it's not that he can't follow what others say, or that he doesn't know what to say.
It's not that you can't, it's that you choose not to.
Compared with the principle of what is appropriate and how to come, this kind of insistence is obviously out of time and ignorant of current affairs. But this persistence contains strength, penetrating the barriers of current events and emitting light and beauty.
When talking about benevolence, the young master said that he felt that the last character in the movable type square in the Olympic Games should be benevolence, and benevolence is most in line with the traditional Chinese spirit. Ren is an attitude towards the world, a way of dealing with the world, and harmony is the result of benevolence.
When I first heard "You Orchid Exercise", I asked the young master Wen Wang Mengxiong's allusions. He really knew everything.
"Confucius" is another reassurance for idealists. You are not alone, but standing on the shoulders of giants and moving forward. Those pains will experience the heart, and those puzzled will reveal choices.
