“Could the Kingdom of Lu grow stronger by emulating the Dukedom of Qi?” a visiting dignitary asks Chow Yun-fat’s noble sage.

Even our hero has three names. “If the world will come to know me at all, it’ll be because of this book,” says Confucius (aka Kong Qiu or Zhong Ni) of his life’s work, The Analects Of Confucius.
Best not bother with the movie, then.
