An unremarkable failed commercial film

I feel that this film is a bit injustice. I can't help but say that it was shot with great care and the cast is too strong, but I really can't say it's good-looking. Maybe the director wanted to express too many things and finally adopted the narrative method of segmented flashbacks. At the expense of the rhythm of the film, the whole film looks more like watching a documentary. In this regard, I have to compare it with another big-headed work of the same period, "Kingdom of Heaven", in the rhythm control and the scenes of war scenes In terms of composition, Ridley Scott's skills are more old-fashioned, but there are still many characters and scenes in the film that are impressive. Alexander's ambition and fragility make the beautiful man Bagos, Persia also eclipsed. The magnificence of civilization, the magnificence of Asian peaks, and the suffocation of the Indian jungle all make people feel like they are on the scene, and the color and art are also quite interesting. South Asian rainforest; although there are so many excellent elements, but unfortunately the director failed to combine them well, making this film only like Coppola's Apocalypse Now an unwillingly ordinary film in most people's painful viewing impressions work.

    Aperture is really wide open in epic... The main character lacks charisma and persuasion (perhaps because it's all speculation). Are all kinds of talk about women justifying the gimmick (Aristotle, you...). Why is the interaction with Hephaestyn only about gossip and hugs? == JRM is so beautiful (not even in the cast? Fall). Why paint smoky makeup?

    The director is very skilled, dare to face history and reflect on history, a good historical film

Alexander quotes

  • Philip: There's only one thing better than winning a battle, son...

    [he kisses a beautiful girl]

    Philip: ... and that's the taste of a new woman. You'll find it far sweeter than self-pity.

  • Aristotle: The East has a way of swallowing men and their dreams, but still to think it's these myths that lead us toward the greatest glory... Why is it wrong to act on them? I can only warn you, not teach you. Beware of what you dream - for the gods have a way of punishing such pride.
