Red Cliff
赤壁
is a Chinese epic film based on the Battle of Red Cliffs
and events during the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China. The
film is expected to be released in two versions: within Asia,
Red Cliff is to be released in two parts totaling over four
hours in length, with the first part premiering in July 2008 and
the second in January 2009. Outside of Asia, a single 2½
hour film will be released in January 2009.
The movie has a lot of gossips, news and a sad tragedy, a stuntman
died while making the movie. The story has been a very well
known story amongst the Chinese. Chronicle of the Three
Kingdoms is one of the most valuable novel written ever. We
read the story in school and even had lessons talking about this,
the real history and the novel.
Go back to the movie,
half of the critics like it and the rest doesn't.
Nevertheless, people are still going into cinemas to watch it.
In Asia, it's going to be shown in 2 episodes. We watched
the 1st one, very good I would say. I have not been a big
Three Kingdoms fan thus was watching the movie like a movie.
I just like it. |
