alright so turns out i don't have to wait for it to hit ny theaters and i don't have to buy a bootleg. got a chance to see a private screening at a really nice house in the hamptons belonging to(actually i don't know whose house it was.lol)anways so let me just say that john woo must be stinking up santa monica(where lion rock ent is based) cause he's the sh!t. he's got his swag back with this film he showed all those chinese filmmakers how to make a period film, it had action/comedy/drama and ofcourse the patented tony leung sex scene(i swear he puts that in his contract) the first 18 minutes is filled with lots of action although the action was directed buy corey yuen(we all know how i feel about his chorey) dion lam was the actual choreagrapher and it was good. i'm so hyped for the second part no wonder it's breaking all the records in china. you guys are going to be very happy with this film.

Maybe it'll do the film festival rounds and I can catch it. I really want to see this.

Still need to see Mongol.

well you might as well wait to december when its set to hit american theaters. my only problem is that the american version will combine part one and two. so i'm wondering how much is going to get cut out.

I bought the dvd for the first episode (half).

overall, it is good.

the fighting is a bit long or just about the whole movie.

it has 2 land battles.

1. Liu bei was retreated, the shiny shields blinded the horses.--

2. Liu and Sun or zhu ge liang and zhou yu together against the elite army of cao cao.

--

a turtle or ba gua formation

--

can't wait to see the other half.

which is about the water battle. or war on the river.

1. Zhao zi long using the long spear and rode the white horse--

2. Zhang Fei was with great force and loud voice. He may grab weapons from the enemy and defeat several people at the same time with empty hands.

3. Guan Yu using the da dao.

4. Liu Bei stringing the straws to make a shoe.

5. Cao Cao loves Zhou Yu's wife xiao qiao.

--

these are all accurate.

growing up hearing tales from story tellers in front of the temple, on the radio, reading all the novels.

the romance of the three kingdoms.

I think I like the stories too much.

and of course, would like the movie a lot.

Sanguo Yanyi is such a rich and varied story. I was not raised on a diet of it and yet, discovering the novel at the age of 25 it has become one of my favorite stories.
