Theme Music (Soundtrack) Sounds Like Polar Express?


Does anyone sense its theme music to resemble that of The Polar Express? (Or some other movies)

The score by Jiping Zhao is quite John Barryesque. Loved it.

I'm not sure the 125 minute U.S. version had the same music sound track as the Asian version. I'd read about Confucius (Kung Fu Tze) in the Durants books, in his Analect books, and lived a year in Korea where a fellow teacher was translating Chinese into Korean on stories about Confucius.

My surprise in this bio pic was the stress on music -- morality, ethics, the formalities of honoring predecessors, and MUSIC. I had no idea - and Chow Yun Fat playing a zither was unexpected, and I appreciated that bow to music.
