real good intentions

Rating: Null/10 (25 March 2016)

one of films defined by controversies. about each aspect. about each actor or scene or historical detail. and that is far to be surprising. it is a film by Oliver Stone. his vision, his message, his option for cast. and, after the waves of criticism, remains a single honest detail - it is a real honest film. not the best because the subject is far to be easy but real honest. like each film of Stone. Colin Farell is, of course, not the best option for role of Alexander. but he does a great job giving a credible sketch of Macedonian hero's portrait. his Alexander is not great. he is only credible and the color of hair or the clichés of Farell's career are almost virtues for discover the force of a great story. because Alexander is more than a statue or myth. he is alive and that fact is the mark, the special mark of Oliver Stone. Val Kilmer does a splendid Philippe. and the essence of clashes between civilization is presented in right manner. it is not a masterpiece. but the good intentions are not only good intentions. it is a coherent fresco of a life who changes the world. the basic lines, the fever of transformation, the ambition of young leader who creates not exactly an empire but a definition of world are pillars for a decent, ambitious movie.
