電影-赤壁---Movie: Red Cliff

赤壁，是一場中國歷史上極為著名的戰爭，這一戰，造成了中國數十年的三分之勢，這部電影，只是其中的前傳，但已經十分精采。

片中，趙雲的表現不俗，雖然有很多時候他都是把槍當棍用，不過，仔細想來，在戰場上，敵人多不可數，若身邊已經被敵人攻入，槍尖只能守一方之敵，把槍當棍使，似乎是個不得已但必需的保命之道。另外，關羽在八卦陣中的表現也極為出色，用敵人的武器殺敵，當手上兵器刺入敵人身上後，逕行奪下被殺的敵人手中的兵器，這樣就不愁手中無兵器的困擾，只是電影中拍攝的手法是從關羽力大無比，雙手一握一收，對方兵器就被硬奪下來，雖然不是我們宗岳門所講鬆柔去拿人的兵器，但也是一個相當震憾人心且實用（如果力量強如關羽的話）的做法。

武將中，唯一令我失望的是張飛，片中完全是個莽夫，什麼都不懂，連和敵人動手都是赤手空拳硬打，和我心中差距太大了。其實，能名留千古之人，甚少有笨蛋的，只是張飛被三國演義這本書描述成一個什麼都不知道的老粗，正史中，張飛在長阪坡之戰，斷橋後設疑兵之計騙過曹純，在益州增援戰用計智擒嚴顏，在漢中之戰用計打敗張郃，三國志－張飛列傳中，張飛，涿鹿人士，善丹青草書；只是被羅貫中所醜化，現在電影又將其以一個大老粗的形象演出，看來張飛平反之日遙遙無期了。

Red Cliff is the most famous war in Chinese history. There were several years which China divided to three countries. This movie is very impressive for me even it is just the beginning of the Red Cliff War.

In the movie, Yun Zhao presents a pretty good martial art style, although he use the spear as a stick sometimes. But, if we consider the real situation in the war field, we use spear-head to kill or defense the enemy in front of us without considering other side of our body. We do need to use the spear as a stick to protect ourselves.

Yu Guan shows the fantastic skills to use enemy's weapon to kill enemy. He took off enemy's weapon when he cut or stabbed the enemy. He always give up his weapon when the weapon is "in" the enemy's body, and that is really useful skill to take a new& sharp weapon from the enemy. Although the movie shows Yu Guan is very powerful and nobody can hold the weapon if he grap to take off. In ZongYue Taiji (Taichi), we prefer to use no power skill to do this kind of actions.

Fei Zhang is the only general who I disappoint in this movie. Fei Zhang is a foolhardy perosn in the movie. Actually, in the ancient China, the general must not the foolish person, especially if a famous general who was using several tricks to fool the enemy in the real history. He also capture and induce to capitulate another famous general, Yan Yan. Actually, Fei Zhang is good at not only the martial art but also painting and penmanship. It looks like Fei Zhang will not have his original image for a long time.
