(Oh, hello. I’m film actor Chow Yun-Fat, bringing you some wisdom of the Orient: it’s time you and your family had a serious discussion about Liberty Mutual.)

This is the first trailer for Confucius, starring Chow Yun-Fat, directed by Hu Mei (Who, me? AHAHAHAHAHA!  *sigh*), no release date yet.  The trailer doesn’t have subtitles, but that’s okay because there’s no dialog, just lots of shots of Chow Yun-Fat looking thoughtful and having a beard, a style still emulated by unemployed coffee shop hipsters everywhere.  Confucius, of course, is the legendary Chinese thinker born in 551 BC, whose teachings would influence Asian society for thousands of years.  “Be good at math,” Confucius wrote, “and if someone in line in front of you for subway, elbow them in ribs, even if you are old.”  He’s also credited for numerous proverbs, including “If man rack joke fo brog post, man must rery on tiled steleotype.”  Legend has it he also put pee pee in someone’s Coke.
