赤壁 Red Cliff



This film is based on the Battle of Red Cliffs and events during the end of the Han Dynasty and immediately prior to the period of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China.
This movie was great, it somehow made me want to know more about the history of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China... well that is of course if I'm able to get my hands on the English version book/books.

As my family and friends know... I'm so, so poor in my Chinese.
And that doesn't mean that I would not be able survive in a Chinese-speaking country...
I'm not that bad at it... Hey I survived in Taiwan so just you know...

Watched Red Cliff 2 last night with my family and neighbours. And I love it...
This movie help me to know more about the History in China and to understand how such a small number of soldiers could defeat a large amount of soldiers plus a large amount of ships which takes up a space as big as Singapore. Just imagine that amount of ships... wow

And I must say that Zhuge Liang (诸葛亮) the Chancellor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China is one smart man. He is also recognised as the greatest and most accomplished strategist of his era.

Okay, those who have not watched it and most especially if you're Chinese... don't miss it!
Like my father said this to me, every Chinese must watch this movie... Better still, read and learn more about the history.
