Differences between the film Red Cliff and the original work
1. This movie begins with Cao Cao's southern expedition and Zhao Yun's rescue of Adou. I didn't mention that this was Chang Hanbo, but later I confessed that this was Xinye's retreat. In history, Liu Bei led hundreds of thousands of people to retreat in Xiangyang. Because he walked slowly, he was caught up by Cao Cao's 5 thousand cavalry in Dangyang, and more than 10 thousand foot soldiers were defeated by cavalry. He had to abandon more than 100,000 troops and lead dozens of riders to escape to Hanjin. Fortunately, Guan Yu's fleet met in Hanshui and only found one life. Liu Bei suffered heavy losses in the battle of Changhanbo. Not only did he ride more than ten thousand steps, but he lost all his money. Thousands of trench were all captured, and even his two daughters died in the disorderly army. It is a pity that such a tragic plot is not shown in the film. The film said that Liu Bei actually led hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate safely, which made people stunned.

2. Cao Cao and Zhou Yu were at loggerheads in Chibi, and even sent troops to ride around Zhou Yu and fight with him on the land. This plot is somewhat incredible. The traffic on both sides of Chibi should be inconvenient. If it is a vast plain, you can bypass it and fight on land. Cao Cao should have thought of it. With Cao Bing's strong military strength on land and sea, Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of sailors will be defeated in a short time. Why fight a water war? If Cao Bing met Zhou Yu at Chibi, he could have sent his fleet back, crossed the river further away and attacked Zhou Yu by land. However, Cao Cao did not do this in history, which shows that it is completely impossible to attack Zhou Yu's army from the back by land. In ancient times, the traffic was inconvenient and the surrounding area was difficult to capture. Usually, a city will block the way of the army. To move forward, we must attack the city and pull out the village.

In this land war, it is not realistic to make up a gossip array in the movie. The formation of that kind of shield is only one person high, which is easily dispersed by cavalry horseshoes, and it is not a stone wall. How can it be surrounded by enemy soldiers? Cao soldiers are armed with round shields and fish scales, probably imitating Roman infantry. There seems to be no round shield in the history of China, but the Roman fish scale array is very strong. It seems a bit naive for a few horses to pull up a rope and string a few hammers on it to destroy the fish scale array.

Zhuge Liang went to Soochow to surrender, but Lu Su said that Zhou Lang was training in Chibi. You know, Chibi was the place where Sun Liubing met Cao Bing by chance when he was marching along the Yangtze River. How can Zhou Lang train in Chibi in advance? The movie screen instantly switches to the scene of Zhuge Liang in Zhou Yu's military camp, as if Chibi is near Wudu City, which is a bit unreasonable.

5. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun acted a bit like a martial arts movie. A man knocks down dozens of foot soldiers unless he is superman. Even after Zhou Yu was hit by an arrow, he pulled out the arrow on his chest and flew over to put it in the neck of the other general, which seems a bit out of place with historical war movies. Moreover, at that time, the cavalry was very developed. Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were both famous riders and archers, and Guan Yu was also riding in the disorderly army to kill Yan Liang. Why do several commanders in the movie like to dismount and fight? Besides, Zhou Yu rushed into battle with respect for the Lord, and took some risks, didn't he?

6. Zhuge Liang delivered the baby to the pony, and Zhou Yu said that he would give the pony a name in Jingchu style. Joe said, let's call it MengMeng. What is the relationship between MengMeng and Jingchu? Xiao Qiao wrote to Ping An that it was a bit silly to use Zhou Lang's son's name. The name Ping 'an is so modern that it is absolutely impossible for people in the late Han Dynasty to take such a nickname. Zhao Wei is called Princess. How could there be such a name at that time? The title of princess originated in the Tang Dynasty and is still used to refer to the daughter of the Crown Prince.

7. Zhao Wei's skill in acupuncturing has greatly deepened the martial arts essence of this film. Originally, this kind of plot doesn't seem to matter in general movies, but in a military movie like Chibi, where both sides shoot arrows at each other, a woman who knows acupuncture suddenly jumps up and down, which makes people feel funny anyway, which makes the nature of the movie go to nothingness.

8. The place where the two armies confront each other is nothing like the Yangtze River. Cao Bing's fleet did not line up along the river bank, but formed a deep line longitudinally. After the line is arranged, it is land. How can there be such a wide river?

9. It seems impossible for Guan Yu to teach children to read The Book of Songs. Confucianism was developed in the Han Dynasty. The Book of Songs was taught by doctors, but Guan Yu may not understand it. At that time, the textbooks for children were mainly The Analects of Confucius and The Book of Filial Piety, as well as urgent articles, but the Book of Songs was not taught. In Han bamboo slips, most of the soldiers' calligraphy slips are nine chapters, imperial edicts and arithmetic books, but there seems to be no Five Classics.

10. Zhang Fei is practicing calligraphy on big paper. At that time, papermaking was not developed, and most official documents used bamboo slips. In the movie, Cao Cao's letters to Sun Quan are all bamboo slips (it seems too economical), but the poor official Zhang Fei is practicing calligraphy on paper, which is too extravagant.

1 1. Retroreflector array is complete nonsense. How can Liu Canbei have so much money to make such a shield? Even if there is, there is no time to polish it as bright as a bronze mirror; Even if it can be polished, how can it calculate the angle of sunlight so well, reflect sunlight and scare the cavalry opposite?

12. In order to train Sun Quan's courage, Zhou Yu let Sun Quan fight the tiger alone and did not allow his entourage to help. This is tantamount to murder. Any monarch will think that this is a rebellion, which is a bit fabricated.

Then there is the question of lines, half written and half written, which is quite a failure, needless to say. Judging from this episode, the whole movie has not seen a soul for the time being. What does it want to say, praise Liu's brotherhood, criticize Cao Cao's cruelty, describe the growth of Sun Quan, and praise Zhou Yu's heroism? I don't think so, but it's a bit messy. In addition, Battle of Red Cliffs occurred in winter, and the river was bitterly cold. The influence of this climate on the war did not show. Of course it doesn't matter, but at least it doesn't look exquisite enough.

Of course, this film also has some highlights. For example, when Cao Cao's fleet went down the river, although the stunt was not very good, it was quite shocking. When Cao Cao chanted on the boat: "Drive the princes of Kowloon and Jiuhe", the camera quickly zoomed out and took a panoramic view of the fleet, which was also very good. The costumes in the film are ok. The hair on both sides of the forehead is in the Western Han style, and the soldiers' gauze hats are also in the Western Han style. Just look at the Yangling figurines, but there is no red. Some foot soldiers' neck armor, like the crossbowman unearthed from the tomb of King Han and Chu in Shizishan, Xuzhou, is also in the style of the Western Han Dynasty. Xiao Qiao's clothes are Chu style during the Warring States Period, and the patterns are all straight-clothed phoenix bird patterns unearthed from the Chu tomb in Mashan, Jiangling, which are different from those in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but this relationship is not very big. There are not as many pottery figurines unearthed in the Eastern Han Dynasty as in the Western Han Dynasty, and the hair style of portrait bricks is not clear. It is also possible to copy the Western Han Dynasty or even the Warring States Period. Cao Cao's letter to Sun Quan written on bamboo slips is very similar to the unearthed bamboo slips. The words of Xiao Qiao and Zhang Fei are like inscriptions in the Eastern Han Dynasty. These are good details.
