Movie outing 2: Red Cliff

Went out with 3 of my secondary schoolmates to watch Red Clift the following day. It was like our long awaited gathering cus we hv been like postponing previous gatherings due to our heavy school schedules. So it was great tat we could finally meet up...

Dun reali know much of the actors or actrees fm this film except for perhaps Tony Leung and Zhao Wei. But saw the trailers a few months back while watching another movie and my first impression was this is a 'must watch' movie! However, the movie did not reali meet my expectations though, but generally the battle scenes was quite good. There was of course that famous scene where the soilders under Liu Bei used thier reflective shields to blind of Cao CAo army though the CGI effect made it look quite fake. My favorite battle scene was when the allied forces led by Zhou Yu lured Cao Cao's amry into the Eight Tiagrams Formation and utterly slaughterd them. Then just like a scene out from Dynasty warriors as Cheng You commented, the various good side generals came out and personally took on 30 to 50 soilders each which was a tat unrealistic, but then agian who cares as long as the action scenes were nice.

Only gripe with the show was tat it was kinda long winded at times and this was not helped by the fact tat the movie was like 2.5 hrs long. Kinda fel ta little slow moving at times but in general i tot it was quite a nice epic movie for the summer, just not the 5 stars tat some hv rated for this movie...

After tat, went on to have dinner at cavana and chatted with them. Apparently, JCTs had taken a toll on most of us given most if us had failed one or two subjects but its ok, we shall persevere!
Then talk about our stuf regarding our secondary school frens and reminisice(sort of) about the past. Then tok about our plans on wat to do after this whole crazy Alevels was over, like how we were goona to enjoy ourselves etc... haha, hopefully can act as motivator for me to work hard! Stayed at white sands untiul bout 10pm, then took the bus hm for a well rested rest before the next cyle of the "battle for the Prelims" begins next week...
