Cine Asia have announced the UK DVD and Blu-Ray releases of 'Confucius' for the 4th October, 2010. Directed by Hu Mei, the film is a biopic based on the life of the legendary philosopher that balances breathtaking spectacle, visceral action and heart-wrenching drama.
Synopsis
In 500 B.C., during China's famed 'Spring and Autumn Period', Kong Ze (Confucius), a commoner revered for his outstanding wisdom, is made Minister of Law in the ancient Kingdom of Lu. Under his inspired leadership, Lu ascends to new heights but becomes a target of conquest for the warlike nation of Qi.
Threatened with annihilation by their powerful neighbour, desperate people turn to their greatest teacher to lead their most powerful army. When Confucius delivers a stunning victory against all odds, a jealous aristocracy sets out to destroy him, but they should never under-estimate a remarkable man whose wisdom is more powerful than the sword.
