Teenagers are to be frivolous and have dreams

Alexander's dream began when he conquered Busefilus when he was 12 years old. He rode Busefilus, defeated the northern barbarians, unified Greece, conquered Persia, and founded Bactria!

In the movie, when Alexander the Great conquered Bucefilus, the sun was overflowing, and he was galloping in Gaugamela, unstoppable, how youthful, high-spirited and fascinating! After conquering Persia, he quickly stepped into the adult world. The manic, suspicious, and confused Alexander stood on the top of the Hindu Kush. His chest was full of confusion. After experiencing repeated betrayals and manias, Alexander's youth and dreams finally reconciled with cloth. Sephiroth fell together on the banks of the Jeddaps River!

Alexander the Great, who lost his dream, hastily terminated his expedition against India and made the biggest mistake of his life. He forcibly crossed the Garde Rossia desert. Only 20,000 of his 120,000 army survived (those who scolded Li Guangli, the second division general, should be good think about it).

Then he turned into a walking dead, a desolate drunkard, fantasizing about conquering Arabia and Italy, even Hephaistion couldn't believe it. Alexander, who spent the whole day eating Hesse and spending money like water, almost spent his Persian treasury upside down. Fortunately, before his 33rd birthday, he died in the sinful city of Babylon!

If he is fortunate enough to live another 10 years, the world will have one less teenage hero, and one more tyrant and thief who is embarrassing and sighing.

So while you are young, go after your dreams like crazy! At least when you are old, you can still hide in the palace of Egypt and recall the scenery of Gaugamela!

Alexander quotes

  • Attalus: [Raising a toast at Philip's wedding party] To Philip and Eurydice! And to their legitimate son! To Philip...

    Alexander: [Alexander throws a wine cup at him] And what am I? You son of a dog. Come then.

    Philip: [Attalus throws his cup at Alexander and soon a fight breaks out] Quiet. Shut up! Shut up all of you! This is my wedding, not some public brawl! Apologize, by Zeus, before you dishonor me.

    Alexander: You defend the man that calls my mother a whore and me a bastard? And I dishonor you?

    Philip: Bah! You listen like your mother. Attalus is family now, same as you.

    Alexander: Then choose your relatives more carefully. Don't expect me to sit here and watch you shame yourself.

    Philip: Shame?

    Attalus: You insult me!

    Alexander: I insult you? A man not fit to lick the ground my mother walks on? You dog, questioning your queen!

    Philip: Shame? I've nothing to be ashamed of, you arrogant brat! I'll marry the girl if I want, and I'll have as many sons as I want, and there's nothing you or your harpy mother can do about it!

    Alexander: Why, drunken man, must you think everything I do and say comes from my mother?

    Philip: Because I know her heart, by Hera! And I see her in your eyes. You covet this throne too much. Now! We all know that that she-wolf of a mother of yours wants me dead! Well, you can both dream boy.

    Philip: Come Philip, 'tis the wine talking. Leave the boy, it can wait till the morning.

    Philip: Now! I command you... apologize to your kinsman.

    [Alexander stands in silence looking at Attalus]

    Philip: Apologize!

    Alexander: He's no kinsman to me. Good night old man, and when my mother remarries, I'll invite you to her wedding.

    [Walks away]

    Philip: You bastard! You'll obey me. Come here.

    [Alexander looks at Philip and continues to walk away, Philip grabs his sword and prepares to attack Alexander, but falls to the ground in a drunken stupor]

    Alexander: This is the man who's going to take you from Greece to Persia? He can't even make it from one couch to the next.

    Philip: Get out of my palace! You're exiled, you bastard! Banished from the land, you're not welcome here! You're no son of mine!

  • Olympias: [instructing her son about snakes] They are like people. You can love them for years. Feed them, nurture them, but still, they can turn on you.
