Original Title: Red Cliff

Genge: Action,Adventure,Drama,History,War

In 208 A.D., in the final days of the Han Dynasty, shrewd Prime Minster Cao Cao convinced the fickle Emperor Han the only way to unite all of China was to declare war on the kingdoms of Xu in the west and East Wu in the south. Thus began a military campaign of unprecedented scale, led by the Prime Minister, himself. Left with no other hope for survival, the kingdoms of Xu and East Wu formed an unlikely alliance. Numerous battles of strength and wit ensued, both on land and on water, eventually culminating in the battle of Red Cliff. During the battle, two thousand ships were burned, and the course of Chinese history was changed forever.
The first chapter of a two-part story centered on a battle fought in China's Three Kingdoms period (220-280 A.D.).
I usually try to take note of movie publicity because expectations justifiably and inevitably shapes appreciation-- but I didn't "connect the dots" when John Woo said he wanted to make an "upbeat" movie about the historical battle at Chi Bi (literally "Red Cliff", by the Yangtze River) in the winter of 208 CE and aimed to reach the level of "Troy" (2004). I mean, how do you make an "upbeat" war/historical movie unless it is some kind of fantasy or comedy, where the violence/politics won't really trouble you? And apart from the size of its production and budget, Troy doesn't really set any admirable standard in film-making....

In short, I found this movie "interesting", though neither "enjoyable" or "unbearable". So this movie may be worth your time/ money if you want to see John Woo have "fun" with a historical event or the sight of certain actors in period costume/roles -- just don't expect a new movie "classic" (even the "fun" or comedy is nothing special) or John Woo to rise above his "level" ("gun-fight" style editing). This is because, having some idea about the events at Chi Bi, I couldn't help noticing that John Woo's "Chi Bi" doesn't really "build on", let alone "measure up to", the prevailing "classics" inspired/influenced by the historical battle-- i.e. the 14th century novel (Romance of the Three Kingdoms) still re-printed annually, the 1990s CCTV drama series based on the novel (now on DVD), or the computer/video games (Dynasty Warriors, etc.) currently in their 10+n'th versions, etc..

That is to say, it doesn't have the epic sense of tight plotting in the novel, rounded characterization in the TV series or audacious fun of the games, etc.-- and for almost every good or workable new idea in the movie and there is some kind of "mis-step" which undermines it, so that the whole is less than the sum of its parts. This might have something to do with the way John Woo went around commissioning separate scripts (NOT re-writes) for the movie and then "combining" the bits that he liked (no legal/copyright issue here, since the writers were all duly paid and credited) right up till the time shooting was scheduled to begin-- when Chow Yun-Fat purportedly left the production because he did not have a complete script. For example:

*WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD*

1) Zhuge Liang dusting himself off in Sun Quan's court and raising a cloud of dust-- would have shown how far and fast he had traveled, but only showed that he was too scatter-brained to dust himself off properly before entering.

2) Zhou Yu stopping military training to listen to a flute-- would have shown how highly he regarded music, but also made his military training look sloppy.

3) Sun Quan hunting a tiger-- would have shown the hunter's courage, if only there was the budget or effects to show a sufficiently fearsome tiger.

4) Liu Bei making shoes for his sworn-brothers and saying he's "used to it"-- would have shown his humble beginnings as a shoe-maker, except what does being "used to it" mean?

5) & so on and so forth....

If this sounds like a bad case of mixing Hollywood practices with the HK directors' habit of "shooting from the hip" or simply John Woo "biting off more than he can chew"-- well, it shows in the lack of an established sense of "flow", "scale" or "depth". The scenes move from point A to C and characters X to Z in a way that feels like a series of movie highlights, with the overall result resembling more the kind of costume drama commonly produced by the Chinese film industry rather than any significant milestone (other than the size of its production and budget) in Chinese movie-making. Not that old-fashioned (HK/John Woo-styled) Chinese costume drama is necessarily a bad thing, of course-- I mean, it's literally asking to be laughed at/ spoofed (the "humor" is that obvious). I recently caught the Westernised version of RED CLIFF on television; there was no way I was going to pay to watch something that had been butchered down from a two-part film series into a single movie. I was entranced by what turns out to be an extraordinarily lavish, big budget war spectacle, with events and action taking place on an absolutely massive scale. If John Woo has made a few mis-steps in his directing career over the past decade, RED CLIFF is a film that more than makes up for them. But why oh why was it butchered so badly?

I still hope to get hold of and watch the original movies one day, so my complaints here are more to do with the editing-together process rather than the movie itself. From what I can gather, pretty much all exposition and characterisation sequences have been excised from the Western release, so we're left with battle after battle and little reason to care or get involved in the lives of the participants. It's a crying shame, because with the likes of Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Takeshi Kaneshiro on board, I'd imagine the non-action scenes are as involving as the battles.

As for the warfare stuff, it's splendid. It starts off on an epic scale and only gets better from there, with huge fight scenes of crushing intensity. The only film I can think of that manages to rival the scale of these battles is LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING. CGI is used pretty heavily to animate various things, but it's doesn't ruin the film, rather supplementing what's already on screen. The martial arts-infused fight scenes are spectacular and inventive. In many ways this film reminded me of an old video game series for the Playstation 2 called DYNASTY WARRIORS, and that's a good thing; it takes you by the throat and throws you in the midst of a blockbuster ancient battle in a way that few films manage. A scrumptious war movie.
The original Hong Kong Version of the first movie runs approx. 145 minutes, the complete International Version 143 minutes. One can do the math. Approx. 50 percent of each movie were cut out.
