its a movie about a major battle about 208 AD during the warring states period in china. dynasty warriors is based off that. its actually called the chronicles of the three kingdoms. theres a book called romance of the three kingdoms that is about the over 100 year war for control of china. very powerful and emotional stories. look it up if you have time and the movie is awesome.
your are right about that yah. i just like to call that part of china's history warring states hehe qin unified the warring states. cao cao at the time was the prime minister of the han emperor. although everyone knew his intentions was to usurp the throne he still managed to persuade the emperor to do what he wanted.
Oh man, there's been revisionism in a major way about Cao Cao's intentions and character in the last few decades regarding the intended usurpation.
I think the current consensus assessment on Cao Cao was that he began as an idealist who wanted to restore the Han Dynasty. But later as his power grew he became more cynical and tyrannical. He stopped caring for the Han dynasty as much. But he still couldn't bring himself to usurp.
@crazedmongoose2003: When his flag start saying "Wei" instead of "Han", his intentions were clear to everyone. Liu Bei of Shu was the only one even hoping for a continuation of the Han Dynasty, being a member of the Royal family, and that's the major reason he attracted so many talented warriors.
@ibitoshi I never said Cao Cao by his cynical end wanted to continue the Han Dynasty. I just said he couldn't bring himself personally to usurp. He obviously expected his sons to usurp. He wanted to be, and he said as much, "king wen of zhou". Who historically like him, built the foundations of a new dynasty but didn't usurp.
Liu Bei may have wanted to continue the Han Dynasty, but only because he himself would benefit from that. Also I'd argue Wei and Wu had way more talented men than Shu.
@ibitoshi Just to be clear, we're talking history. Not romanticization. By romantic traditions then yes, Liu Bei was the most kindly and a Han loyalist and attracted the most talented men.
And a large part of his perceived tyranny was due to his wish to abolish the "shi zu" aristocracy the Han dynasty operated under.
Being from a eunuch's family (his father was adopted by one) he spent his whole life being discriminated against by the "shi" clans and had an intense dislike for them, preferring a meritocratic system regardless of privilege by birth. This lead him to persecute the existing aristocracy who in return hated his guts and bad luck for him, they wrote the history books.
AND LAST POST I promise haha but Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan were all noted too for despising the "shi" aristocracy but weren't in a position to persecute as many of them.
Liu Bei like Cao Cao was all for restoration of Han early on but later stopped caring. Sun Quan NEVER cared about the restoration of Han, in fact at several points he suggested Cao Cao usurp and he'd submit.
Zhuge Liang was the only eternal ideological believer of the restoration of the Han Empire.
Not to be anal but how would you feel if when a new Star Wars movie come out, every East Asian person says "oh wow, a new Knights of the Old Republic movie?"

This movie was an epic. The scenes in this film will always be remembered. Especially that tortoise formation.

yes, the movie is in the warring states period. the three kingdoms followed when the country was split into shu, wei and wu.
aznlyfe6 2 years ago
actually the first emperor of Qin unified the warring states some 400 years before the three kingdom
but Qin only lasted two generations, then came Han, which pretty much split into the three kingdoms(although Han lasted about 400 years)
at the red cliff cao cao was still the minister of Han dynasty
