Synopsis
Confucius (孔子, 2010) is a Chinese historical epic you can watch online on iFILM, with Chow Yun-fat in the title role and Hu Mei directing.
Around 500 BC, Kong Ze — a commoner revered for his wisdom — is appointed Minister of Law in the Kingdom of Lu. He turns the small state around, which makes it a target for the militaristic Qi. When Qi attacks, Confucius takes command of the army and pulls off a victory that surprises everyone. The reward is exile: a jealous aristocracy drives him out of Lu, and the greatest teacher of his era spends years wandering with a handful of disciples, carrying ideas that no one in power wants to hear. Zhou Xun and Chen Daoming appear among the cast. Chow Yun-fat brings a specific quality to the role — the stillness of someone whose authority comes from thought, not force.
