One of the best movie I've ever seen is... Red Cliff. Not going into details of the story here, as this Wikipedia link will reveal more info, but I'd like to share why I felt this movie is one of my favorites.
1. The story line was unexpected, full of twist and plots. Unpredictable - which is an indicator of a great movie. Make us glued to the screen.
2. Beautifully arranged. The battle scene are not the same as those typical war movies. There are tensions and previous scenes which build up enough pressure leading to the climax. Especially the last battle in the night time. Brilliant!
3. Mystical. This movie takes you to summer of year 208 AD. Imagine that. Year 208! And China is already full of war masterminds and strategists and politics advisers. History lessons became alive and exciting!
4. The casts played important roles and each of them are so deep into the character. Well, Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro alone already a household name for Chinese/Mandarin movies. The result? Powerful on-screen partnership.
John Woo made a fantastic, top-notch, over-the-top movie, and I would like to see it over & over again. I wish and hope there are more new movies like this one! ♥
