Gradually, I began to understand the ubiquitous thunderous lines in "Red Cliff". John Woo can still be very active in keeping with modern words at his age, making a heavy historical drama with scenes and laughs, at least it can make so many people willing to pay to go to the cinema. ability.
Xiao Qiao's dubbing is really good, without the soft, bone-crunching squeak like "Mengmeng, stand up" in the upper part, but with a little more strength that sacrifices her life for her husband, she still does not lose her unparalleled beauty. This time, Lin Chiling should really thank the behind-the-scenes dubbing. It was the dubbing that saved Xiao Qiao, a character who played an important role in the lower part.
But compared to Xiao Qiao's successful dubbing this time, Cao Cao's voice has lost the momentum of a treachery. Zhang Fengyi has that look, but his voice is not as heroic as Cao Cao's. I still think Bao Guoan's version is better. And You Yong's version of Liu Bei's boring look, Zhang Zhen's too young Sun Quan with a Taiwanese accent, are not my favorite. Or Zhao Yun is good, the momentum of General Chang Sheng came out. Zhao Wei's version of Sun Shangxiang, standing with Zhang Zhen, looks like Sun Quan's sister no matter what.
Of course, the war scenes are worth mentioning. Although the shots of the large number of ships on the water are mostly computer stunts, the scene of burning the red cliffs is still quite spectacular and shocking. This shock is not only due to the true description of the fire and hand-to-hand combat scenes, but also due to the anti-war view it always reflects. Cao's army suffered heavy casualties, and Liu and Sun's army also lost a lot of soldiers. Hand-to-hand combat, throwing rocks, explosions...all kinds of combat moves were used, and the two armies faced off against each other, and the casualties were shocking enough. I clenched my heart, not only because of this war that has been passed down through the ages, but also because of the sadness in my heart when I saw the death and injury of the soldiers of the two armies as if I was there. Fighting back and forth, what is right and what is wrong? One soldier and one soldier who died, no matter which camp they were in, after all, they were just like Tong Dawei, whose ultimate wish was to earn money to support their family. What a cruel reality, what a cruel war! I can understand why some film critics said that this film reflects John Woo's anti-war view. Zhou Yu's last sentence "everyone loses" is very modern and very real.
It’s just that the historical facts we have known since childhood pay more attention to the war itself, but ignore human nature.
