      Alexander--Great Story About Alexander

      Alexander, Alexander, Alexander. I don't know where to start. I was listening to Shu Fu Jia's Mystery of Love in the waiting hall in the summer, and it sang like Hepheastion, who died, Alexander's lover. Coincidentally, this song is from the movie Call me by your name, and Alexander, right or wrong. The Queen Mother of Persia, who recognized him, said, "You are right, he is also Alexander."

      Alexander the Great

      "What I admire most about Alexander is not his battles, but his political consciousness, and his ability to win the favor of the people."
      "Without Alexander's genius, the Greeks could not have conquered the Persian Empire; however, Alexander's excellent use of the assault cavalry made an important and even decisive contribution to the tactical success of the conquest."
      "He was very intelligent, very brave, very zealous for honor and danger, very cautious about religion . . . Good at...

      The scene is good, but the spirit is lacking~!

      Love for Alexander does not equal love for this movie. Actually a little disappointed.
      Alexander in the film does not have the courage of a king, so the whole film lacks a backbone. No one knows exactly what Alexander was like in history. But at least in the novel "The Persian Boy", I think the image of the king is more in line.

      In the previous paragraph, the young Alexander played quite well, pay attention to his eyes. Although the aura is handsome, but there is a kind of...

      King Alexander

      From ancient times to the present, heroes must be associated with war and even killing, as if to confirm the saying: Heroes emerge in troubled times. Yali Shanda's short life was spent in wars one after another. He was undoubtedly an excellent military strategist. His hearty pre-war mobilization made the blood of his soldiers burst into flames. Fight bravely. In the end his warhorse was defeated by the Indian elephants, otherwise he would continue eastward, through the jungle and mountains, to...

      great and lonely fighter

      A great and lonely fighter, he built a vast empire spanning Europe and Asia, from Turkey to Babylon to India. In the short span of 33 years, it has left an amazing stroke in European history and world history. He has ideals, dreams, and ambitions to surpass myths.

All his life, he has been in the military, he has been defeated, he...

    The crew initially hoped to film scenes of human and elephant fighting in India, but the elephants in India lacked good training, so they had to switch to Thailand.

    Evaluation action

    The film does not have a clear and simple main line that allows the audience to experience a roller coaster-like narrative experience. Use complex and complex clues to string together extremely rich character content to show a multi-faceted Alexander the Great to the audience. (Phoenix Entertainment Review) 
    The film runs through the life of the emperor, Alexander has always been committed to the great integration of world...
