Watch Alexander
September 8th, 2008
Alexander The Great as told by Oliver Stone. Interesting rendition of one of history’s greatest conquerers.
I can’t say I liked this movie much, but I can’t give a reason for it. The acting was well done by some of my favorite talent and the story and cinematography were what we expect from Oliver Stone. Alexander is also a fairly accurate (for a movie) portrayal of history/myth and I am a real history buff… Worth watching though and I will probably watch it again to see what I missed.

From IMDB: “Conquering 90% of the known world by the age of 25, Alexander the Great led his armies through 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years. Coming out of tiny Macedonia(Greece), Alexander led his armies against the mighty Persian Empire, drove west to Egypt, and finally made his way east to India. This film will concentrate on those eight years of battles, as well as his relationship with his boyhood friend and battle mate, Hephaestion. Alexander died young, of illness, at 33. Alexander’s conquests paved the way for the spread of Greek culture (facilitating the spread of Christianity centuries later), and removed many of the obstacles that might have prevented the expansion of the Roman Empire. In other words, the world we know today might never have been if not for Alexander’s bloody, yet unifying, conquest.”
