In 208 A.D., in the final days of the Han Dynasty, shrewd Prime Minster Cao convinced the fickle Emperor Han the only way to unite all of China was to declare war on the kingdoms of Xu in the west and East Wu in the south. Thus began a military campaign of unprecedented scale. Left with no other hope for survival, the kingdoms of Xu and East Wu formed an unlikely alliance.

What a movie and what a cast. One of the best big budget war movies made, amazing fight scenes. Takeshi Kaneshiro the man you are

So there are 2 specific ways to win a war with a smaller force which is having your enemy’s dream lover and a Zhu Ge Liang who can cast spells.

This is my review for both Part 1 and 2
My god…wow…just wow. From the first 25 minutes I was blown away, it throws the audience straight into the action, it shows us who we root for and the stakes at hand and immediately I was along for the ride, without any quiet sense of character depth to start out on, it actually managed to give me goosebumps and hit me emotionally, I was utterly overjoyed while being overwhelmed at the same time.
Yes it’s epic, yes it’s thrilling, yes it’s musical score makes you want to jump into the screen and fight with them, but don’t be fooled there is real character development and people in this film that make it special, I saw one review compare Takeshi Kaneshiro‘s character to Legolas from Lord of the Rings, and I can’t get it out of my head.. Red Cliff is literally Chinese Lord of the rings but the difference between the two is that Red Cliff while yes took creative liberties it’s actually based on real events.
I paused it and I had felt like I had seen so much and then I realized I still have 4 hours left, I was so happy, there points where the music hits right and action hits right and it’s just an unstoppable force of awesomeness, then it will cut to a flag and the level of pride illuminating from the screen is practically blinding.
Honor, pride, and unity in the face of insurmountable odds and the faces behind it,*
Red Cliff *is a masterpiece.
