Red Clift - 赤壁
Red Clift - an expensive movie directed by John Woo + a strong cast of actors from various countries is a vey heavy movie to watch. The story and characters written based on the ever famous acient novel from China, The Three Kingdom.
The main attraction of this book is it full with interesting war plot and brilliant attacking strategic. However when we come to movie commercial value, the production team have to drop all this major factor and smartly insert in love story… pretty face… some magical kung fu action etc.
I decided to paste up the photos of the 4 main male characters here. We got the ever handsome Tony Leong (HongKong) However, he dont look good in the show… smile too much and too romantic look…. 
ZhangFengYi (China) is CaoCao, a cunning general. He make the show very interesting and lively. Than we got 2 Taiwanese actors Takeshi (1/2 Japanese) and ZhangChen. Have the actors from 3 main Chinese based audience…. A marketing plan which so common now in Asian made Chinese movies.
As usual, female character always an important attaction to a movie…. even for a war story which suppose to be full with male warrior. We got 2 pretty faces appeared in this movie. One is the ever famous Taiwanese Supermodel, Ling xxxxx (dont like her cause she so fake in the way she talk) and the second girl is Zhao Wei, A China actress which used to be famous in TV Drama.
I don’t think their characters real have a big part in the book but they was given a big part on movie… 
Another 2 supporting actors also worth to mention here… ha… can you imaging a Japanese actor in the movie 
I was wondering when i watched the DVD last night why the actor I put up his photo below look so different and hard ? Later than I found out that he is a Japanese. Get him into the movie just purely for Japanese market kua…
So after more than 2 hrs on the movie… it end with the main actor looking at the enemy camp which not too fall opposite. Both camp are geting ready for war !
And this big war will happen in RED CLIFT PART II hehehehehe Not sure when the sequence will be up on screen… wait lor
