Just watched this new full version, the final cut of director oliver stone, it's really awesome! Excited.
1. I have seen the more than 170-minute version before, many details are not explained clearly, and I have no feeling at all after reading it. This time the final cut story is very clear about the causes and consequences of all the details. This movie is really great! ! Very good shots in many places.
2. A total of two battles. The first one explained the field battle of ancient Greek infantry; the second one was Macedonian infantry fighting against Indian war elephants in the jungle. The scene was really bloody and bloody. By contrast, the battle of the Elephant in The Lord of the Rings Part III is child's play.
These two field battles are the most exciting of all the ancient war movies I have seen (the most exciting siege battle is the kingdom of heaven)!
3. After the death of alexander's father, the filming of a conflict between him and his mother was very exciting (the mother played by angelina jolie), which expressed the feelings of hatred, love and fear between the mother and son very well.
After adding content to this film, it is very, very beautiful! ! !
I didn't say this word, but this time I want to say, the whole film looks epic! (Especially the scene before and after he was shot in the last battle, the shots were fantastic - he rode a horse and faced off against the war elephant in slow motion, the scene where his eyes were blood-red after he was shot, everyone supported him with shields, etc. On the beautiful and powerful music, the epic feeling is all out) I
strongly recommend everyone to watch it!

(The director's cut version of kingdom of heaven is also available, which is 50 times longer than the original version. minutes, read reviews, it seems Shan with Yali
big movie is a fate I have to look at this..
quote one:
"not long ago, LA limited release of" kingdom of heaven "director's cut, see
is not It Cool's last fan-written review:
Basically, the author's review of the KOH director's cut version is quite pertinent, and thinks that this version is obviously better than the public release version~ At the same time, I hate FOX, not only that it has ruined the film that should have become a classic, but also ruined Ridley Scott, The work of creators like Orlando!
The author said: "Three hours feels like KOH is too short, because every part of it seems to be indispensable, is the key to our understanding of the driving force of the plot, and it is also very important for the development of the characters. Crucial ~ so weird that the shorter (public) version feels so long, because what you see never really touches you. KOH is about country, faith, loyalty, honor, etc., but it About the film never made mistakes committed by such concepts are. it is really a great masterpiece, but also to verify the Ridley Scott is one of the best narrative family as we know it. "
Thus, the release version is The unanimous criticism that there are a large number of plot bugs is not due to its inherent shortcomings, but has been artificially cut into pieces by FOX company...")

There is also a reason, oliver's films have always been very informative. This film is no exception, the relationship between the characters is very special It's complicated, especially since there are nearly ten generals under his command. When everyone talks, one will talk about Zhang San and the other will talk about Li Si. With our hearing, it is difficult to understand the relationship between the characters at the same time. Anyway, his The movie is not for teenagers (movies like 300 are mainly for people before and after adolescence, so the story is very simple). In
this new version, I rented a DVD with the subtitles turned on. After watching it, I found that the story in this version is actually explained It's very clear, and it doesn't require special historical knowledge (I checked it later, and the director's character design is based on facts), you can understand it. For example, Alexander quarreled with his first warrior after drinking, the warrior At that time, I turned over the old account and scolded the past. I could understand it according to the letters. The accusations were clearly compared with the previous paragraphs, but the amount of information was relatively large.

Stone is really a great director. His historical films often contain his understanding and interpretation of history. This is no exception. The analysis of Alexander's psychology in this new edition is very thoughtful. Including the part where his father showed him the mural in the old version, it seemed very meaningless, but in the new version, the clip was replayed many times before and after the film, which properly explained the psychological motivation of his behavior at that time.
You may disagree with the director's explanation, but his theories are often self-contained and look very entertaining.
Many details in this new version are very good. For example, he married a black man. In the narration of the marriage paragraph, he said that he chose a bride for no reason, and in the bridal chamber, there are details of his wife putting down an arm bracelet. Looking incomprehensible.
But at the end of the film, in a flashback, I understand everything, including why he chose this man as his wife (sigh, oliver stone is really a thoughtful person, very interesting). I won't go into the details, so as not to affect everyone's enjoyment of watching the movie in the future.
