review on Red Cliff2 赤壁2

Red Cliff2 赤壁2. Watched this movie just yesterday on a last minute movie plan. Lolx. I was looking forward to this movie since i watched the first part which is like half a year ago. The specific storyline in this story was based on the the ever famous history of the 3 kingdoms 三国演义



Just a small part in the whole history of 3 kingdoms, but this specific small part plays a big role in history as this is where this is where

the 3 kingdoms were clearly being illustrated during this specific war. In Red Cliff.





In the first part of the movie, the few war scenes showed how they actually fight and displayed the heroic acts of the various generals during that time serving different master. Some of the scenes were showed during this second part of the movie.



The main interesting acts in this movie is on 諸葛亮 Zhuge Liang and 周瑜 Zhou Yu where both of them displayed their talents in what they are good in, strategies be it psychologically, practically and etc. Both of them were famous in their times are well known for their ways of handling warfares.

One scene in the movie is where the alliance was short of 100,000 arrows in order to defend the attack by 曹操 Cao Cao's army. The above picture is the way 諸葛亮 Zhuge Liang get the arrows. All from 曹操 Cao Cao's army.



The ability to predict the weather and know that the course of wind was the main factor in winning the war where the alliance used the wind and set 曹操 Cao Cao's army on fire. The ships.





and the fact is that 曹操 Cao Cao's army was much larger compared to the alliance's army.

If you want to know, the war scenes are not THAT much, half the movie from the start shows how they use strategy and get information having a better understanding on the enemy as well as finding ways and solution to fight at Red Cliff.



Of course, to me, i like this movie. Obviously. I like how it develops from the start where i can actually understand that how all these historical events happen in the past. Pretty fascinating. However, some parts of the movie, the storyline were edited here and there and its slightly different from the actual history.

That was 1 of the reason which cause my friend to dislike this movie. Haha. Its Chinese New Year! Do go to the cinemas and watch this US$80 million budget film. Seriously esp if you're a Chinese! Lolx
