If you want to understand the movie, or really want to understand Alexander, you should read the book first.

The 3-hour director's cut version is also difficult to clearly show Alexander's short and wonderful life, but the details are well grasped. The production team is still willing to spend money, and the narration is also necessary.

Olympias' room is a bit too modern, and the hair color is wrong.

The male protagonist can't be chosen well, although it can be seen that he has tried his best.
I don't know if it's because he didn't think about the characters enough, or if Alexander's character is too special and difficult to describe.
In short, because of him, there is really no way to give the movie five stars.

If there is no background knowledge reserve, plus flashbacks, many people generally do not understand it, so it is understandable that it is below three points.

    In fact, my favorite character in the movie is Bagos. He didn't say a word, but just relying on his eyes fascinated me to the death... Xiao Hyuk and Alexander made me cry for several scenes. However, the scene where the two of them are together still makes me feel a little weird, probably because I think the middle of the two should be taller and more handsome, so I'm a little uncomfortable. But still moved by these two people in a mess.

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.
