Based on the life of legendary Chinese social philosopher Confucius (551-479 BCE) it was first released in Beijing, China in January 14 2010.  Movie directed by Hu Mei – who loves cigars and with Chow Yun Fat also another cigar lover as the lead actor – Philosopher – it’s a must watch.  I love Chow’s acting – he seems to be doing a lot of period movies.  The location of this movie was in Hebei and shooting started in March 2009.  The movie was scheduled to open in 2009 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the PRCas as well as the 2560th birthday of Confucius himself.   All the good actors and actresses in this show – I also read that it was a huge production and they went all the way to China for filming.  I bet they brought a lot of gifts for the officials in China – as we all know that gifts of cigars and wine or hard liquor is the way to go for getting what you need around China – hahah!! but I guess it’s the Chinese thing.  I remember telling my boss – a Westerner to bring cigars and wine for our chinese counterpart – when he was in Shanghai closing a deal.  Anyhow, fora sneak peek and move about the movie – follow the birdie everyone – leave a comment for password.   Enjoy!
