Red cliff

A movie i watch 2 times in cinema. Is it good? the answer is good for the historic movie. Director John Woo know how to shoot the war scene. Major 2 war scene is long, detail and nice. He successfully portrait the war scene in ancient time. You can appreciate it better if you watch 2nd time because first time for story, 2nd time for datail.3rd time for analysis. I won't watch 3rd time until later.Romance of 3 kingdom is a very nice novel and war of red cliff is one the climax in the novel. There are many war in the novel but only less than 4 war worth reading in detail. Red cliff is one of them . I think 2nd part of red cliff will be better bacause the major war in red cliff is at 2nd part. If John woo can shoot the minor war with so datail in formation then 2nd part is more worth watching.the story is still follow according to original although few parts is modified. One of them is the zhang fei not using the shield to attack cao cao army in the beginning. He use the tactic of frightening . He ask few army chop out the tree and tie at the house then use the horse to run . it make the behindvery dusty . cao cao can't see how many army is there. he then stand at bridge and ask cao cao to cross. he shout and one commander died and cao cao fell down.
this is the real story but i still like the plot John woo modified.

Overall 8/10 story 8.5/10 action 8/10 war scene 8/10
recommend : must watch
