A great movie
Red Cliff
Hey people, I’m still up to my stuff so my posting might be erratic for a while. I should be writing on politics, more so since Anwar has returned to Parliament, but seriously, I don’t really feel like talking politics, at least for now. I just have too much other stuff to settle.
Well, on August 11th, I saw John Woo’s Red Cliff in Penang and wow, it was really good. And to top it all Lin Chiling (below) was really beautiful ( Evil laugh -ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha )
I still think Zhang Ziyi is more beautiful though : ) So, she should be my number 2!! Yaay!
Anyway, back to the movie itself, the story was pretty good, just that since it was a two-parter (and I actually forgot about that during the movie), I got a kind of rude shock when the screen suddenly displayed the words “To Be Contined”.
Come to think about it, the movie would be more enjoyable as a whole 3 or 4 hour straight epic and not a two-parter. But then again, as we all know, hindsight is always perfect.
All-in-all, a pretty good movie. I’ll give it an 8 / 10. Much better than the current crop of Western movies which I find are getting pretty clichéd. Most Western movies these days seem to be over reliant on recycled themes which are getting pretty boring.
The current generation of Asian movies seem to be better off, with better storylines and much much better acting. So take my advice, watch this move and be entertained.
