God? people?

After reading it, I looked through the comments and found out that there are two versions of this film, and the one I watched was the director's extended version, which lasted three and a half hours. I feel that the story is very procrastinated... All kinds of wonderful pictures have been reduced to footnotes of historical stories. I'm a little curious what the cinema version is like?
All that is known about Alexander the Great is his legendary life, military talent, and the super empire he built. But the film did not show his talents in military, political, and governing. Rather, he emphasized that he was a melancholy, lifelong guilt-ridden, slightly morbid mortal. Perhaps as a mortal close to a god, two thousand years later, he is now a god. So, when I was making a movie, I couldn't help but want to show the side of others... What else should I say? Continue to perfect a fairy tale? Digression, it seems that the gods created by history like to knock down the altar and show their human side... Meiyue, dig out the true side of human nature... I wonder if this is the best choice?

    Ptolemy's actor looks too much like Heath Ledger... the masculinity of this film is too eye-catching>o<

    Re-watched the extended version again, after more than 3 hours, the base was more thorough, ah ah, speechless...

Alexander quotes

  • Olympias: Women are the only ones who know Dionysus.

  • Cassander: Would you say the love between Achilles and Patroclus is a corrupting one?

    Aristotle: When men lie together in lust, it is a surrender to the passions and does nothing for the excellence in us. Nor does any other excess, Cassander, jealousy among them.But when men lie together, and knowledge and virtue are passed between them that is pure and excellent. When they compete to bring out the good, the best in each other this is the love between men that can build a city-state and lift us from our frog pond.
