Red Cliff

We watched the historical film Red Cliff on DVD this weekend... Both parts 1 & 2 were long so, we watched them over 2 days.



Throughout the duration of play, DC passed remark on the differences between the actual history and what was shown. It's no wonder, he knew the stories of the Three Kingdom and the characters well unlike me who is quite disinterested in history events especially warfare... I have heard of Zhu Geliang, Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei but not too sure about the rest. DC can even remembered their other names (e.g. Zhao Yun = Zhao Zilong, Liu Bei = Liu Yuzhou, Guan Yu = Guan Yunchang, Zhu Geliang = Kongming, etc).

The actors had not portrayed the history characters well and there were inaccuracies, this was DC's comment. So I guess, he didn't really like it? I agreed with him that the role of Sun Shangxiang is redundant...
