For Alexander's description, I have seen the earliest and most classic elaboration in Wells' "World History Outline", which has a complete chapter on the split personality and contradictions that accompanied him from the beginning of his childhood.
This movie was underestimated. It was suppressed too early in the same-sex topic, and the content was somewhat lacking. For example, the stirrups did not exist at that time, so the cavalry had to dismount and fight on foot during combat. The advantage was only in mobility.
In addition, the first time I saw this movie was in 2006, but the first comment was this year. I was a freshman in 2006, and now I have been working for 2 years after my master's degree. I have to sigh that
human nature is so divided, but we don't want to admit it. The film still shines decades later, and within a decade it will be back in the spotlight.

Director Stone has tried his best to restore the history. For example, the Greeks had to slaughter cows and take their internal organs before the battle. The Greek royal family valued yellow and purple. The Macedonian phalanx and equipment tried to restore history as much as possible. The narrative of Ptolemy I. Even the many gay topics in the film were very normal in the Greek world at that time. The description of Darius II is also quite true. Actually, this is more of a historical documentary than a commercial

Alexander quotes

  • Olympias: Making himself a thirteenth god! He's drunk so much wine, my poor Phillip, he's lost his mind.

  • Hephaistion: [refuses to let Roxane see Alexander after the murder of Cleitus]

    Roxane: Let me pass. I am the Queen! I want to see him! I've waited three days!

    Hephaistion: He says none. Not even you.

    Roxane: He needs me!

    Hephaistion: No. He doesn't.

    Roxane: [mocking] And he needs you?
