Chinese Movie for Shang-han Lunists coming

[Guest guest]

Dear Z'ev and Shang-han Lunists: I found an article on a Chinese movie " Red

Cliff " in the L.A. Times today. I do not recommend it because of its quarity but

its back ground. If it comes to the theater near you, you have to see it! This

movie is about General Cao Cao in the Three States Era. The date of the movie is

208 A.D.

Accordiong to the prominent Chinese modern Shang-han Lunist, Jian Chao-chen,

Zhang Zhong-jing, the author ofthe Shang-han Lun, was the Governor of Zhang-sha

province in 207 and 208, and Jian believes Zhong-jing wrote the Shang-han Lun

when he was the Governor.

At least you will enjoy the fantacised (it's a movie!!) Epoch feeling, as if you

go back to the Shang-han Lun era, I hope.

By the way, I am trying to renew my website, shanghanlun.us, at this moment. I

hope I can show you the totally renewed version within this year!!

Yours,

Shinjiro

It's one of the more amazing new epic historical Chinese films, based

on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

 

As well as being in the general time frame of Zhang Zhong Jing, the

movie portrays Hua Tuo in the film treating the ill in few scenes-

both in part one and two. Also, in part two it shows Zhuge Liang

making Gui Zhi Tang for sick soldiers suffering from Shanghan (which

in the Chinese subtitled version translated as 'typhoid').

 

I was actually just watched it again last night....

Eric,

have you watched both the English version and the original version (twice as

long) ?

What are some major editing decisions that were made?

I got the original version with subtitles in China, and wasn't aware

that it was imported or cut till now. It's a complex story, well

worth the 5-6 hours to watch the whole thing.

 

Surely even the unedited movie cut much from the book- where the Red

Cliff battle is just a segment.

 

I thought the portrayal of Zhuge Liang especially was great- better

than many of the other Chinese Three Kingdoms films out there. He's

one of my favorite characters in Chinese history, a master of the ways

of Heaven and Earth, from medicine to music to strategy, and now

enshrined as a Daoist saint in Chengdu...
