Chow Yun-Fat Will Portray Confucius in Biopic
Happy 2,560th birthday, Confucius! Later this year, a biopic about the ancient Chinese philosopher will screen to mark the occasion of Confucius's birthday and the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. The movie is backed by the Chinese government and will feature Chow Yun-Fat in the main role.
China Censors Pirates of the Caribbean
The Chinese government has edited out many of Chow Yun-Fat's scenes from this summer's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End for the "vilifying and defacing [of] the Chinese." Deciding the scenes were bolstering age-old demonizing stereotypes, censors "sliced Chow's screen time down to about 10 minutes."
Though I'm not sure editing out the scenes that include Chow Yun-Fat is helpful, I must say I can easily understand the anger surrounding the depiction of the Chinese in the movie as utterly cruel and conniving, something I also took issue with upon watching the movie.
