In 2008, [[John Woo]] directed a film called ''Red Cliffs'' that was based on the battle. It is a combination of elements from the historical records, the novel, and entirely new elements. Most notably, Woo writes it as a love triangle between Cao Cao, Zhou Yu and [[Xiao Qiao]], who was Zhou Yu's wife in reality. It is true that Cao Cao tried to abduct Xiao Qiao during the battle, but the rest is entirely fictional. | In 2008, [[John Woo]] directed a film called ''Red Cliffs'' that was based on the battle.
