Somewhat similar to "The Admiral:Roaring Currents" in the sense of unequaled strategy and bravery. Excellent filming. "Red Cliff" has two parts which need to be seen in order (Red Cliff 1 and Red Cliff 2). It has been called John Woo's masterpiece and you can only agree with that once you have seen it --there will be no doubt! I was so impressed and so thankful that there was a part two. It did take a few minutes to understand what was happening in the beginning, but then you become glued to your screen. The storyline, acting, cinematography, music--I still can't stop thinking about "Red Cliff." You will know what I mean after you see it.
Both films are about historical wars inspired by real events and old tales. They involve two great heroes – who by cunning and courage – saves their nation from hostile foreign forces. Willing to sacrifice themselves, they're selflessly fighting for what's important; to achieve lasting peace and to protect their country, and countrymen. The movie Mulan, though, have elements of romance and a stronger fokus on friendship.
