Coolll...!!! That comment will be pronounced after the finished look of this film. Any body not going to thought Asian movies could rival or even beat the power of Hollywood movies. Sure, the film is already playing a long time, but it is not wrong if this review is written now. Because not many Asian films are truly amazing.Actually this film is an adaptation of the legendary story of Sam Kok, which is visualized with a very slick. The film made by veteran director, John Woo, has earned a remarkable success. From the outset it was made with this film seriously. This means that everything is made to the maximum, detailed, and very expensive. Reportedly the film is made with a fund of 80 million U.S. Dollars or about 548 million Yuan. With many of these funds as well, this movie broke the record in the country's most expensive film of this bamboo curtain.
Surely not in vain to pay much for many, yet the results are greater, even back in just a few days at the premiere. Just imagine, four days after playing the first time on July 10, 2008, the film has grossed 100 million yuan revenue. A month later had to add pot-pundinya be 302 million Yuan. Mad ..!!! This is really fantastic for Asian films. Match only the movie Curse of The Golden Flower, who get results around 286 million Yuan.Well, now we discuss the film. The background of this movie is when the end of the Han Dynasty. At that happens everywhere rebellion against the Han empire. Prime Minister Cao Cao (Zhang Fengyi) provides a convincing illustration of the king, that only by warfare alone could China be united and peaceful. So to make it happen must begin with a bowed empire in the West Xu and East Wu in the south of the kingdom.Finally attack after attack was launched. Troops, amounting to hundreds of thousands of personnel, urging resistance easily done by Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Given this reality, and there was communion between the two countries is facilitated by Zhuge Liang (Takeshi Kaneshiro).
As a diplomat who is very skillful, he can deepen one's psyche and led to the accord. A delicate diplomatic action and very potent.When this alliance has formed, then began a tense battle at once fully mature strategy. Although the terms of the number of allied forces is not comparable, but their resistance is very significant. Royal troops who were deployed not only from land, but they send the army in the sea which contained tens of thousands of warships. Cao Cao who became commander of the fighter always partying before Peang begins.Finally the war was pursed in a valley called the Red Cliff. This is where a bloody battle that would last all-out. Tactics and strategy of war is good in the end who will be the winner. Both sides have their own advantages. Cao Cao's army relying party that always wins in the battle and the numbers are so much, while the Zhou Yu (Tony Leung) and Liu Bei, who rely on strategy.The first battle took place on land which was won by the allies of this. This is what raised the moral forces, that does not always win the amount that can win the battle.
Also worthy of scrutiny is 3 different personality types of the 3 leaders. Cao Cao is very ambitious and slightly arrogant. Liu Bei was very humble but firm and courageous. Meanwhile, Zhou Yu's charismatic and has a very smooth feeling.The three characters are painted with a clear and drain our emotions as viewers. Of our own will to choose, where true leaders should be role models by real people.However, oh my god ... so the ships of war that tens of thousands that come in red coral, all of a sudden the movie was finished, alias continued ... Angry, annoyed, intrigued, muddle together. Apparently the film will be a sequel that will appear again in early 2009 (reportedly siih ...). So, we stay wait war strategy that will be used and who will be the winner.Escape from it all, this film not only shows the course of war strategy, but also seeing exceptional natural charm. Detailed depiction of nature has become its advantage in this movie.
