not a documentary but a film

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2005)

Alexander is not documentary, but is a film so it was an interpretation created by his director who choose some part of Alexander's history, the trouble of managing the power of an unimaginable empire and what were the meaning and the feeling of new conquests and discoveries 2000 years ago, and throw this mains themes there was a message that it compares Alexander to the other legends of that archaic world, and at the end we can say that maybe archaic history it was only an interpretation and an opinion of historians ideas. Maybe at the beginning we can think that the film left the beautifuler part of Alexander's formation and conquest of the power, we can have the feeling that the beginning of the film is discontinuous, but this is alone the result of the selection of the director that its fulfillment is concentrated on the more difficult part of the history. the way in which the Macedonians came to contact with new life shapes and new civilizations is incredible and Oliver Stone succeeds to decrease the same spectator in the wonder of the discoveries. i think that Troy in its it confronts is like a comic strip in the comparisons of a novel. thx
