[I watched the director's edited version, it seems better, recommended]
Flashback, first play him to die, then his evaluation after his death
These are not important . The
opening 20 minutes directly go to the battle of Gaogamela, is there any! ! !
Before the war, discuss his generals and whether there will be kings of several major countries in the future! !
According to the historically recognized battle process, it has been restored, is there any! !
The five-meter-long phalanx spear, the large circular shield, the companion cavalry with a few meters without a shield, the full-armored guard infantry and the general half-armored Macedonian infantry all have the
Persian chariots, iron armored cavalry, and light archers.
The bird's-eye view of the shooting is also very good, and it also shows that the difference between the number of people and the length of the front line is different.
You can see the process. The cavalry on the left and right flanks are lured out, and they stand in the middle. The infantry dragged the Persian left-wing cavalry, then went directly to Darius

and got the generally accepted result, Darius ran first and the
rest were normal

    SIFF7 and Oliver Stone watched the fourth edition director's cut version of "Alexander the Great". The non-linear narrative parallels the beginning and end of Alexander's fortune and death. The causal contrast is interspersed with each other, showing the fragile and feminine side of Alexander. Turning the epic weight of inertial thinking into a same-sex tragedy is embarrassing. Stone has done enough research on historical details (such as the Macedonian square).

    The man died young but with glory. Three and a half hours, from a young boy to a king who conquered Asia and Europe, as an epic film, it is still very exciting. Two brutal but decisive battles are recreated. Kings are not born, but God chooses to be made into kings. Hephaistion was always the only person he loved spiritually.

Alexander quotes

  • Philotas: [during the battle of Gaugamela] Alexander! My father's lost! They've overrun the flanks, they're into the baggage trains!

    Hephaistion: Parmenion's crumbling!

    Ptolemy: Alexander, if you chase him you risk losing your army here!

    Alexander: And if we capture him we gain an empire!

    [yelling after Darius]

    Alexander: You can run till the ends of the earth, you coward! But you'll never run far enough!

  • Young Alexander: [trying to break in a horse Phillip has said could not be ridden] You don't like your shadow, do you? It's like a dark spirit coming up to get you. But you see? That's us. It's just a trick of Apollo, the god of sun. Shh. I'll show you how to outwit him. You and me, together. Shh. Bucephalus, that'll what I'll call you. Strong and stubborn. Bucephalus and Alexander. Come, now, let's ride together.
