If Red Cliff hit the spot, these will too
Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Red Cliff II (2009)

Both land scale and stillness at once

Both keep coming back to the same thing: china
The difference: Reviewed a good deal more coolly

Kinetic and bleak in the same breath
The difference: Not nearly as contemplative as Red Cliff

One thread runs through both: martial arts

Both lean on scale more than on drama

Both are built on the same subject: martial arts
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

Contemplative history in both cases

War built on bleakness, twice over

Adventure with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

Epic action, and it commits to that

Adventure built on stillness, twice over

Bleak drama in both cases
