Finally, my favorite, Romance of The Three Kingdoms, the related movie, Red Cliff,赤壁 is finally launched. It is splited into 2 parts. I watched the one is part 1, which is haven't really show the battle of Red Cliff. I watched it yesterday (19/07)with my classmates, which are Gab, Meng and Stephy...

The Ruler of Wu-Yue, Sun Quan孙权.

A brave general that serves Liu Bei, Zhao Zhi Long, Zhao Yun赵云.

A intelligent, good leadership, the great leader of Infantry, Navy and Knight of Wu, Zhou Yu周瑜.

The Legendary of Great Stragist, Zhu Ge Kong Ming诸葛孔明.

Lin Zhi Ling, the Beautiest Lady of Jiang Dong, Xiao Qiao小乔

Don't think that the movie is just boring and boring, at least not for me. Although it haven't show the climax of the movie, the battle of the red cliff, but it has another battle scene that also very large battle between Sun, Liu and Cao Cao. Zhou Yu and Zhu Ge Liang use their intelligent to set a very complex formation to trap Cao cao's generals, Zhang Liao and another general that I not really sure who is he because I can't remember who is he actually.

The formation of Ba Gua, which is Mr Kong Ming said it is already outdated but he add one more line behind, if every formations can use on the right place and the right time, its alos can be very effective even it is outdated which is I feel that is really true.

In the movie, the first meet between Zhu Ge Liang and Zhou Yu is quite "funny". Why I said is funny because of... I think I should let you to figure it out yourself. I don't want to be the Spoiler.
And the scene of playing Gu Zheng between Zhu Ge Liang and Zhou Yu, is also very nice... Really interesting... You must go to figure out yourself about the storyline...

The disappointing part in this movie is some of the scene is unneccessary. That's why the movie can be so long, around 2.5 hours.

According to the history of three kingdoms, the battle of Chi Bi is the most important battle on the history and because of this, Liu Bei can build his power at Jing Zhou and Yi Zhou. Beside the rise of Liu Bei, this battle also force Cao Cao's army to fall back to their territory. This battle can say is the climax of the history of three kingdoms. If you are interested on the three kingdoms, I believe that there also available some english translated edition for you to understand the story easier.

Anyway, if you want to watch a chinese history movie, especially about The Three Kingdoms, this is a should watch movie for you. But... please... don expect it will follow the history... But some of the actor's lines are quite funny... seriously... if you can understand it properly.

And please... don try to understand the movie through Subtitle... If you can... because subtitle can't explain well...

Rating: 4/5 stars

Its worth to spend the money to watch.
