RED CLIFF IS SO DIFFERENT THAN ITS KINDS

I this is the great return of John woo after several failures like Windtalker and Paycheck.Red Cliff is an epic movie that is a retelling of a novel called Romance Of The Three Kingdoms.As the name Implies the story revolves around the three kingdom.The emperor who is being used and directed by the commander of the emperor's army,is convinced by the commander that two warlords at the southern lands rebel against him which is actually not the fact but the commander's passion is strong enough to manipulate the situation as he wants to take control and he sets off with the full might of the emperor's forces to the southern lands.I am personally not interested too much in this kind of war movies but I was so impressed by the visual effects, the camera work and the telling of the story through art.From making a tea to martial arts and from the art of thought to the wisdom.Its not just a typical war movie where one side suffers or where the indivuduals fight hard to overcome the consequences.it is a real masterpiece as the story takes you along a long journey in the 14th century.I have never seen that poetic side of John Woo before but I am fully satisfied with it.
