finally bought the dvd ofthe 2nd half

[stormyseasons]

some time back, bought this movie called red cliff, and promptly watched it while laughing about how amusing it was, albeit as a modern interpretation of that so famous battle in the 3 kingdoms period in China... while being terribly amused at the nods to the whole Zhou Yu and ZhugeLiang being terribly clever at each other - and at their enemies. It finished on an irritating cliffhanger. So I finally found the 2nd half, and bought it, and watched it... and am currently totally amused at the attempt - reasonable attempt - to put some agency into the hands of the women also around at the time. Even if it does also make CaoCao look like a womanising idiot with more ambition than tactical sense.
