I'm watching Red Cliff right now. Its no secret that I love Asian films, and I had high hopes for this film. It put my back up nearly straight away though by having English titles, being funded by a lot of the big American production companies, and the start being narrated in English. OK, I get that it's the 'western version', but still, I feel a little bit cheated that a Chinese film couldn't fully be ... well Chinese.
I'll be honest, the main reason I wanted to watch this was for Takeshi Kaneshiro. Kind of fell for him a little bit in House of Flying Daggers. I think it was more the character though, and I am not so appreciative of him in this. I think it's probably because Red Cliff is all battles and blood and blah blah blah. House of Flying Daggers was beautiful and sweet. Well, I say this having only watched 2/3 of it. He was a lovable rogue, a player, and who doesn't prefer a player over a military strategist?
I should probably stop blogging and finish watching. It's just a load of fighting. I tend to loose concentration for the battley bits, just like how I can't focus on long periods of romantic crap.
