Red Cliff

I watched Red Cliff with my grandfather yesterday. It was a totally awesome movie with its astounding battlefield scenes and visual effects. It is quite a compelling story starring many from the Romance of the Three Kingdom series for example Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

The following is a brief description of the movie:

Red Cliff (Chinese: 赤壁; pinyin: Chìbì), also known as The Battle of Red Cliff, is a Chinese epic film based on the Battle of The Red Cliffs and events during the end of the Han Dynasty and immediately prior to the period of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in ancient.The film is directed by John Woo and stars Tony Leung Chiu-Wai as Viceroy Zhou Yu, Takeshi Kaneshiro as Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fengyi as Cao Cao, Chang Chen as Sun Quan , Hu Jun as Zhao Yun, Lin Chi-ling as Xia Qiao, You Yong as Liu Bei and Zhao Wei as Sun Shangxiang.

My favourite character in the book and the movie is Zhuge Liang for always being the smart and wise guy.
