An unremarkable failed commercial film

I feel that this film is a bit injustice. I can't help but say that it was shot with great care and the cast is too strong, but I really can't say it's good-looking. Maybe the director wanted to express too many things and finally adopted the narrative method of segmented flashbacks. At the expense of the rhythm of the film, the whole film looks more like watching a documentary. In this regard, I have to compare it with another big-headed work of the same period, "Kingdom of Heaven", in the rhythm control and the scenes of war scenes In terms of composition, Ridley Scott's skills are more old-fashioned, but there are still many characters and scenes in the film that are impressive. Alexander's ambition and fragility make the beautiful man Bagos, Persia also eclipsed. The magnificence of civilization, the magnificence of Asian peaks, and the suffocation of the Indian jungle all make people feel like they are on the scene, and the color and art are also quite interesting. South Asian rainforest; although there are so many excellent elements, but unfortunately the director failed to combine them well, making this film only like Coppola's Apocalypse Now an unwillingly ordinary film in most people's painful viewing impressions work.

    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.
