Chi Bi: Jue Zhan Tian Xia
赤壁：决战天下
This is a war movie about the
history of China. This is an actual war took in place in A.D. 285, when Cao Cao
wants to unify China, but Zhou Yu and Liu Bei do not want him to do so, the two
of them become allies. Since Cao cao has around 10 million armies, Liu and Zhou
together has approximately 1 million, they wants to decide a safe way to win
this war. But, on the allies’ side, they have Kong Ming whom is an excellent militarist
and knows a lot about weather and geography as well.
So, when Liu and Zhou are short
of arrows, Kong Ming arranges 20 boats that are covered with high-density of
straws’ secretly sails into Cao Cao’s area, so that due to the huge fog that
night, his people could not tell if it’s real men or not, so all the arrows
that they shoot are stack on the straws’ and happily, Liu and Zhou have enough
arrows to fight.
Then, the evening before the
battle starts, Xiao Qiao who is Zhou Lang’s wife hears that the direction of
the wind will not change till 1:00 a.m. in the morning, she decides to go
“visit” Cao cao in order to keep him till the time. Because if the wind does
not change toward east, the idea of lighting up Cao cao’s boats will fail, Zhou
and Liu will lose. Xiao Qiao does this is all because she believes in her
husband that he will win this battle and come save her and she loves her people
so she does not want Cao cao to rule them.
As the battle ends, the last
word that Zhou Lang said to Cao cao is: ”We all lose.” Because both sides have
lost so much and suffer a lot since the preparation of the war, and this war
neither side is right. They are all doing what they think is the right thing to
do. Cao cao is been told to win this war by his emperor, Zhou lang and Liu Bei
simply wants to keep their place without been taken. So, none of them are right
or wrong.
This movie reflects the true
story of that time. Overall 5/5
