In fact, I didn't think I would like this movie. Probably it was just the director and Angelina Jolie who attracted me to watch it. The reason I liked it at the end was because Angelina Jolie and Olympias

thought Angelina Jolie's performance was really wonderful. Huge woman she played too expressive
in my opinion the protagonist of that era was not Alexander but the beautiful Olympias
she gave her son all her wildness even though she was such a strong woman her heart was always on her How can a son's side get rid of the fate of a mother

    ①The most praiseworthy is of course Vangelis' majestic soundtrack ②The characters are blurry and messy, the plot is vague, and there is no character who can stand up ③The flashback technique leads to a sense of time line disorder ④Alexander's Eastern Expedition strengthens things After all, many countries are unified ⑤ Once a powerful figure dies, the empire immediately falls apart. If there is no perfect system, the transfer of power will always be accompanied by internal strife or war.

    Alexander was very clever since he was a child. He was taught in Aristotle. He was granted the post of governor of the capital when he was a little longer. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Macedonian army for his merits in putting down the bandits. Integrating Eastern and Western cultures, encouraging inter-ethnic marriages, advocating equal status among ethnic groups, speaking of Greek thoughts and laws spreading across the country, creating a Hellenistic era culture, but he was only 33 years old when he died

Alexander quotes

  • Old Ptolemy: The surveyors told us we were now on the boarders of where Europe and Asia meet. In fact, we were totally lost.

  • [referring to Philip and his pregnant new wife, Eurydice]

    Olympias: Pregnant, so soon? The little whore. He will marry her in the spring, during Dionysus' festival. And when her first son is born, her sweet Uncle Attalus will convince Phillip to name the boy his successor. And you will be sent on some impossible mission against some barbarous northern tribe, to be mutilated in one more meaningless battle. And I, no longer Queen, will be put to death with your sister and the remaining members of our family.

    Alexander: I wish sometimes you could see the light, mother. The truth is he's taken from you nothing that you've not been long without.

    Olympias: The only way is to strike. Announce your marriage to a Macedonian, now! Beget a child of pure blood. He would be one of them, not mine. And he would have no choice but to make you king. Eurydice was perfect! If your father, that pig, had not ravaged her first...

    Alexander: Say nothing more of my father! Do you hear me? Say nothing!

    Olympias: You're right. Forgive me. A mother loves too much.
