Director's Cut

Personally, I think it's pretty good, and I like it a lot.
Let’s talk about the problem first. For more than three hours, I didn’t understand what the core content of the movie was, and it was a bit scattered. The time line is also a little messy, and from time to time there will be a few years in AD, or how many years ago and how many years later such words appear. I think sensible editing and timelines allow for smoother transitions without these deliberate reminders.
And I may be a little face blind, and many characters can't tell who is who. The supporting roles are not fully utilized, the main storyline is already quite vague, the content of the small characters is not much, and there is no small role that is particularly bright in the real sense. Everyone exists in Alexander's world. Alexander is the sun, and the rest are stars. When the sun shines, no one can see the stars. Those little stars are so hidden, maybe it's because I don't understand history, or there are really no other shining figures in the creation of the Alexander Empire in history, in short, the sidelines are not beautiful enough.

I always think there is a lot of room for improvement, but overall it's pretty good.
The cast is very good, there is no shortage of handsome guys and beauties, and the performances are also good. And the presentation of different cultures is also very good, the details of the costumes, props, scenes, etc. are also well handled, and the scenes are okay. The selected characters are also well-cut, and the plot as a whole is not a big problem.
Basic pass, but not outstanding.

    Like the Kingdom of Heaven, you must watch the director's cut version. No matter how it gets scolded by film critics, I just love this film! The director of the Stone is catching up with this film made in the years when the epic film was flooded, so the film of the powerful cast was directly classified as a commercial brainless film, and it was very wronged! What impressed me the most was Jared’s Hephaestion. Before Alexander got married, he went to give the ring. The eyes of the little animal with tears in his eyes! He cried and hurt me completely when he died

    My God, how can the men here be so good looking!

    Alexander: I want you to be *excellent!*

  • Young Alexander: It is, it has always been, our Greek dream to go east. My father long wants it.

    Aristotle: The east has a way of swallowing men and their dreams.
