the movie and it's OST are severely underrated. it's john woo's best "atmospheric" film - you get transported to the three kingdoms just watching it.

[@jonathankozenko]

[@RocketBillyRedRum]

This is one of my favorite films. This song especially always begins to play in my head when ever I think of adventure.

This movie, Red Cliff part I and II together, is fantastic in its breadth and scale. It provides an almost perfect balance between characterization, exposition, romance, suspense, comic relief, conflict and battle scenes. It is very well filmed and uses special effects as a spice adding to the spectacle. Not a replacement. It is a true model of the genre, a masterpiece. *The* John Woo movie to see if you ever watch one.

[@taiyebello7530]

[@anthonythorne8708]

Absolutely agree. One of the greatest movies ever made, and sorely underrated. John Woo deserves immense credit for pulling it off.

[@lindaliang3825]

I had to buy several DVDs of this movie for myself and family members. It is such a famous historical tale from Ancient China. I love the music and the actors, too!

[@sohanprasad8989]

But both parts r not available on net I guess

[@mirinae9536]

This piece is so beautiful. It deserves to be more famous than it is, but sadly, it was composed for an Oriental film which didn't garner much attention in Western countries. I think it's one of the best historical-themed pieces out there, though.

First time I saw Red Cliff I was thinking LOTR was 1 of the best long movies I have seen. Red Cliff all changed that. 1 of my favorite movies. Good acting, nice special effects, good plot.

[@FinGamingFriendship]

Ikr but i think LOTR books are the best. Red cliff is better than any lotr movie

[@ftd7435]

LOTR is fantasy. The Three Kingdom's great battle at Red Cliff, China is REAL. Cao Cao's name went down in Chinese history as the only commander-in-chief who lost 800,000 soldiers in one night in the Great Battle Of Red Cliff. By the way, Red Cliff is now a tourist attraction. Every year, thousands of Three Kingdom followers went there to check out the battlefield locations ... the piers, the valleys and the naval base.

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

@@ftd7435 I mean, he didn't _actually_ lose 800,000 soldiers lol. the numbers recorded in history are _massively_ inflated. there's no way he even commanded 800,000 soldiers, let alone lost that many in one night. china's population was much smaller then. china itself was geographically much smaller then. and cao cao only controlled a third of it. even modern China only has an army of about 2 million active duty servicemen, and that includes non-combatants. the idea that the three kingdoms fielded more men in 208 than modern China does in 2023 is preposterous. its population is at least 20 times larger now than it was then. a modern estimate of the total casualties for the entire battle (for the entire winter-long conflict) is 100,000. and not all of those could have been cao cao's losses.

[@mirinae9536]

This could very well be my favorite film of the 200X's (sans maybe Fellowship of the Ring), as it was smart, cathartic, featured some genuinely great battle sequences, and combined them with some great cinematography, sound design and music! True, the fact that The Three Kingdoms is almost certainly my favorite Historical era doesn't hurt.

[@willyzh1106]

这部电影对人物的理解基本上仍是《三国演义》的理解，唯独对周瑜的塑造一改罗贯中的丑化，可以说是一大亮点。据《三国志》记载，周瑜“性度恢廓，大率为得人”。同时代的人评价都非常高，比如程普说“与周公瑾交，若饮醇醪，不觉自醉”，刘备评价“公瑾文武筹略，万人之英…… 气量广大”，诸葛瑾、步骘更是赞扬他“扬国威德，华夏是震…… 虽周之方叔，汉之信、布，诚无以尚”。可见这个人应该是有很高的人格魅力，绝不是《三国演义》里小肚鸡肠的形象。 所以梁朝伟的周瑜是成功的。看到他的周瑜，你可以理解为什么同时代的人对他这么高评价，为什么后人如李白、苏轼争相追忆。相比之下，《演义》里一个被“周郎妙计安天下，赔了夫人又折兵”气到吐血的人，怎么会让苏东坡写出“雄姿英发，羽扇纶巾，谈笑间，樯橹灰飞烟灭”这般豪情的句子。

Guan Yu was executed, It was unsure whether Liu Bei started the war with vengeance in mind but it sure is used as propaganda. Zhang Fei was actually assassinated by his men just before the war started and his head is taken to Wu. The war did end terribly for Liu Bei but the damage isn't so much practical as it is morale, that a lot of the 'elders' of the country were lost since if you know what I mean.
