But watching the film as a foreigner I felt I was missing out on something. Not knowing my Cao Cao's from my Zhou Yu's, I was not even sure whom I wanted to win. Certainly after the opening scene, in which Cao Cao is seen watching a game of Cuju, an ancient Chinese variation of football, I knew who had my support. After all, any man who enjoys his football is someone after my own heart. But after Cao Cao resorted to some evil strategies against his enemies in the south, I wasn't so sure he was the man I should be rooting for.
And there is a lot more to Red Cliff 2 than just extravagant battle scenes. The film does not take itself too seriously. Conversations between leaders are littered with one-liners, many of which had the audience in laughter. There is even enough to keep fans of more romantic entertainment happy too. This includes a charming relationship between a southern spy(偵探)and an innocent northern soldier. The characters' interaction provides some genuinely heart-warming moments in the middle of the battle.
Clocking in at(結(jié)束于)around two hours, the film certainly does justice to the history story. When I walked out the cinema, I felt as drained(精疲力竭) as Cao Cao's soldiers must have 1,800 years ago.

I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist(社會(huì)學(xué)家) proposed that the 1society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society, I 2hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood.3the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson was selling me the bicycle, he said, “This is the best thing you4have done. Life has become hopelessly5. A bicycle is simple, and it brings to you6things: fresh air, sunshine and exercise.” I agreed. Happy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets. After some time, I7at the other end of the town. I was8that this simple vehicle could let me 9long distances in a fairly short time. But how10did I really go?
Since I hated to be11, I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to12an odometer (里程表) on my bicycle. He agreed, but13, “An odometer without a speedometer (速度計(jì)) is like a14without a knife.” I admitted he was right and in a few minutes, the two devices (裝置) were 15to the handlebars of my bicycle. “What about a horn?” he then asked. “Look, this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many16.” Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.
“You can’t leave the back part17,” noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with buttons 18the seat, and said, “Is there anything better than this oven(烤箱) when you feel 19on your way? I can give you a special discount.” I was not strong enough to20the offer.
“I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done,” said Mr. Johnson in the end.
