actually in the real stories, characters in real life are more treacherous and complicated to the extent that if this show were to portray, it would disgust you. This theme song will even lose its glorious' feeling'. This movie divides the good and bad so idealistically. i would encourage you to read the 'sanguozhi' to get a better understanding. anyway, this is jus a movie..NICE movie
@67brovo agreed n ditto; the characters are even worse in the romance of the three kingdoms lol; and of course much more exaggerated and biased because it was written in a time when the sentiments and opinions were that the Shu-Han belligerents were the righteous and honourable heroes (who deserved to succeed Han dynasty, partly because of Liu Bei's royal blood ties); & Wei + Wu were downright eveil :P,
i.e. the shu-han generals were glorified, dignified n portrayed as more cunning than others.
I have seen part 1 & 2 and i enjoyed them both. the music score is great and adds to the film. I am a John Woo fan and love his movies. Whether Red Cliff is historically accurate or not, it's still a good movies. I like the chess game approach between the leaders.
I love this movie...the version I watched had rather fast subtitles but but I was able to keep up. The story is great. It also kinda reminds me of Dynasty Warriors lol... I recommend it to everyone. 5/5 ^_~"
Btw, there are 2 red cliff movies (part one and part two). Both are epic and a GREAT watch.
Huh? Not so sure that it sounds similar to other soundtracks...but since the Mummy was so horrifically terrible, I purged memories of it's mediocrity from my mind. It's a wonderful flowing and arching soundtrack to match the scale of this epic.
aye, although I wish john woo directed it more like how oliver stone directs his war movies...follow-through directing, no "extraneous" action scenes, eloquent speeches/dialogues, etc
well, it would've been interesting if john woo decided to make this movie off of Dynasty Warriors/RomanceThreeKingdoms, instead of half heatedly trying to do both fictional and somewhat semiaccurate.
It would've been interesting to see the characters atop shinny golden armor killing thousands, or female warriors doing battle in flowing silk dresses...
This film had stunning choreography and scenery. I loved the idea of making the weapons becoming alive from their rusty forms. Truly one of those amazing artistic movies.
people who play dynasty warriors must have an orgasm watching this movie!

John Woo's movie usually contains that type of over-the-top action...
Although that type of action is less ridiculous when the people are using guns (ie hardboiled)...
But then again, this movie isn't very historically accurate so I guess we can just consider this a quasi-fantasy movie like Hero or Crouching Tiger...

artists take usualy the liberity to chance the history.and ofcourse maybe this was based on rotk and then mixed whit real history?
and ofcourse this has some historicly accurate stuff such as that chair cutting
