If you want to understand the movie, or really want to understand Alexander, you should read the book first.

The 3-hour director's cut version is also difficult to clearly show Alexander's short and wonderful life, but the details are well grasped. The production team is still willing to spend money, and the narration is also necessary.

Olympias' room is a bit too modern, and the hair color is wrong.

The male protagonist can't be chosen well, although it can be seen that he has tried his best.
I don't know if it's because he didn't think about the characters enough, or if Alexander's character is too special and difficult to describe.
In short, because of him, there is really no way to give the movie five stars.

If there is no background knowledge reserve, plus flashbacks, many people generally do not understand it, so it is understandable that it is below three points.

Alexander quotes

  • [the first time the army has come across monkeys]

    Hephaistion: They're animals. Monkeys.

    Alexander: Monkey... look at his hands!

    Hephaistion: So much like ours.

    Alexander: [to the monkey] Hello little man.

    [to Hephaistion]

    Alexander: Do they speak?

    Hephaistion: No. But they do sing, and make noises from the roofs of forests.

  • Old Ptolemy: Within hours we were fighting like Jackals for his corpse. The wars of the world had begun. Forty years, off and on, they endured, until we divided his empire in four parts. I think Alexander would have been disappointed in us.
