Red Cliff is a Chinese epic-war film based on the Battle of Red Cliffs (208-209 AD) and events during the end of the Han Dynasty and immediately prior to the period of the Three Kingdoms in ancient China. The film was directed by John Woo, and stars Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Chang Chen, Hu Jun, Lin Chi-ling and Zhao Wei. Within Asia, Red Cliff was released in two parts, totaling over four hours in length. The first part was released in July 2008 and the second in January 2009. Outside of Asia, a single 2½ hour film was released in 2009, though the two-part version was later released on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK. With an estimated budget of US$80 million, Red Cliff is the most expensive Asian-financed film to date. The first part of the film grossed US$124 million in Asia and broke the box office record previously held by Titanic in mainland China.Read full review
I have seen hundreds of Chinese movies(I am American).I have developed a reasonable list for a great movie that you will want to watch again. Red cliff qualifys. #1 on my list is - Do not kill the girl. UH, thats the only spoiler you get from me. This movie is ultra good. As long as it is(about 5 hous,parts 1 and 2)you will want to watch it again.It has Action,(just enough kung-fu), Drama, Romance,suspence,story,more.If only it had Stephen Chow for some humor it would be in the running for best movie ever.Think of the Alamo, 300, or Masada with a better ending, (I quess I,ve said to much, so BYE!)
It's John Woo's finest, and one of the best films (2 parts) ever made! I've seen them before from dvd; now i've gotta see them again with blu-ray. It's a great movie from the mainland China. All stars casting and much more. If you like Chinese war films, these are one of not-to-miss ones! Superb and powerful story with spectacular set up all around.
