My Lifejournal: Red Cliff

For those who doesn't know me,

I'm someone who loves watching movies.
War, battles, warriors, cool outfits. That sort.
300
Troy
LOTR(s)

Movies where they fight with shields and swords and they ride war horses.
Yes, all these over some chick flick. [except Enchanted =)]

And guess what, i watched something similar.
Something that i didn't know was out in July.
Something i wouldn't mind watching over and over again

Red Cliff (赤壁).

Yeap. This is what I'm talking about.
Great battles, great formations, Great strategy.
Totally different set of clothes because this is a Chinese epic film.
Hence the:
long, bun up hair,
long, bushy eye brows,
ribbons on their hair,
extremely long sideburns,
really different set of clothes.


And my favourite character is of course,

Zhuge Liang.

Takeshi Kaneshiro plays Zhuge Liang Chancellor of Shu Han.
He and his feather.
Smart ass fellow, always calm and he's just gorgeous.
I like. =)

Everyone should watch the show. Fantastic.
Watch for the battles.
Watch for the formations.
Watch for Zhuge Liang.
Watch for Xiao Qiao when she bandaged up her husband,
and the cinematographer beautifully captures the graceful
movement of her fingers as she seduces her injured husband.
That was awesome. I mean the cinematography.

Red Cliff was really awesome.
Unfortunately i didn't know it has two parts to it.
I was happily watching it,
waiting impatiently for the naval battle.
Excited as Zhou Yu lit his miniature-size ships on a map based on the battle formation.
And suddenly at the bottom left hand corner came out the three taboo-ed words
To Be Continued...

Yeap, and i love Zhuge Liang. (in the movie)
Oh, and the closing song was really nice
Alan - Xin Zhan


So do watch it. I'm so getting the DVD.
