Ik [zie dat er topics zijn over films uit 2009 enz. Dus dan post ik ook wel eentje.
Red Cliff a.k.a. Chi Bi
Director:John Woo
Writers:John Woo (screenplay) &
Khan Chan (screenplay) ...
Plot:
Part 1:
In the summer of 208, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial army led by Chancellor Cao Cao embarks on a campaign to eliminate the southern warlords Sun Quan and Liu Bei in the name of eradicating rebels, with the reluctant approval of the Emperor Xian. Cao Cao's mighty army swiftly conquers the southern province of Jing and the Battle of Changban is ignited when Cao Cao's cavalry starts attacking the civilians who are on an exodus led by Liu Bei. During the battle, Liu's followers, including his sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, give an excellent display of their legendary combat skills by holding off the enemy while buying time for the civilians to retreat. The warrior Zhao Yun fights bravely to rescue Liu Bei's entrapped family but only succeeds in rescuing Liu's infant son.
Following the battle, Liu Bei's chief advisor Zhuge Liang sets forth on a diplomatic mission to Eastern Wu to form an alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Quan to deal with Cao Cao's invasion. Sun Quan was initially in the midst of a dilemma of whether to surrender or resist, but his decision to resist Cao Cao hardens after Zhuge Liang's clever persuasion and a subsequent tiger hunt with his Grand Viceroy Zhou Yu and his sister Sun Shangxiang. Meanwhile, naval commanders Cai Mao and Zhang Yun from Jing pledge allegiance to Cao Cao and are received warmly by Cao, who places them in command of his navy.
Part 2:
Sun Shangxiang has infiltrated Cao Cao's camp and she has been secretly noting details and sending them via a pigeon to Zhuge Liang. Meanwhile, Cao Cao's army is seized with a plague of typhoid fever that kills a number of his troops. Cao orders the corpses to be sent on floating rafts to the allies' camp, hoping to pass the plague on to his enemies. The allied army's morale is affected when some unsuspecting soldiers let the plague in, and eventually a disheartened Liu Bei leaves with his forces while Zhuge Liang stays behind to assist the Eastern Wu forces. Cao Cao hears that the alliance had collapsed and he is overjoyed. At the same time, his naval commanders Cai Mao and Zhang Yun propose a new tactic of interlocking the battleships together with iron beams to minimize rocking when sailing on the river and reduce the chances of the troops falling seasick.
LET OP: op wikipedia stond de hele verhaal dus heb ik er maar een stukje van gepost omdat ik de film niet voor jullie wil verpesten.
