I was introduced to the story in "Red Cliff" through a video game series called dynasty warriors which was loosely based on Luo Guongzhong's 14th century novel "Romance Of The Three Kingdoms" which is available online to read (its legal) as a download,
I've read the book, and now that I have seen this film by John Woo, which by the way thankfully has little relation to the style of the book, I am not surprised that it has done so well internationally because it is a balanced well told story. I recommend that if you don't expect "Red Cliff" to come to any theater near you to order it on demand, and do it in HD because it well worth it to see in the best definition.
See this film!
