[Myth] Hero's Sense of Mission

After watching the movie "Alexander the Great", I was still immersed in the plot and the emotions of the characters, and I couldn't extricate myself for a long time. Hercules, the idol of Alexander the Great, felt that he was born with a sense of mission, and it was in this noble sense of mission that he found his life value. Thirty-three is a very strange age in my opinion, because so many geniuses have died at this age in my knowledge.
Conquest, hero, this movie revolves around that theme. Alexander the Great was a real king. He has his own unique insights in human nature, military affairs, situation, and the world, which is considered a unique talent.
One of the things about Alexander's character that struck me was that he respected cultures, even two different cultures, which seemed sacred to him.
When he defeated Darius and entered Persia, I was deeply moved by the respect and protection he showed to this foreign culture, this civilization that once bullied his homeland.
When he saw that he didn't respect the culture because of others, his anger was as if a child was robbed of a toy by others, innocent and serious. When I saw this picture, it evoked an unspeakable feeling in my heart. Culture, civilization, the great product born of human existence, we have no reason to despise or despise the cultures of other countries. This is the bottom line of human nature. (Maybe this storyline was constructed by the screenwriter, but I am grateful for the touching he gave me.)
ps: People sometimes, not people.

Alexander quotes

  • [after Alexander's wedding to Roxane]

    Philotas: But what's the point Alexander? She's your captive; just take her as your concubine!

    Alexander: Because I want a son. Damn you, Philotas

    Philotas: Half your nobles have sisters who would make fine Macedonian mothers.

    Alexander: To take an Asian as my queen, not a captive, is a sign of deep respect for our subjects. It will, more than anything, bring us together. Unify us. Which is not to say I won't take a Macedonian one day.

    Philotas: As a second wife? And insult Macedonia?

    Antigonus: Never will our people accept this girl's son as king. They'll be angry enough when they find out their husbands all have second wives in Barbaria.

    Alexander: [laughing] Then they'll learn!

  • Olympias: I was never a barbarian as Phillip said. We are of Achilles' royal blood.
