Greetings,
Just returned from viewing Alexander and must say it was quite the experience. It was long, boring at times, extremely interesting at times, funny at times, could have been shorter at times, but the point is that stone made a movie about a persons life.....and who's life is not boring at times? Think about it, for the first time in Hollywood history someone took the chance and made a real life movie not just Hollywood mumbo jumbo....yes it could have been shorter and more to the point...however, this was oliver stone's movie and expected nothing less...took a fifteen year old daughter to see this movie, she was not bored which shocked me...she was full of questions about Alexander after the movie and started to understand how this man affected the western world....she did not care much for the battles (too gory for her), however, loved the dialogue..go figure...this is a film not a movie, will probably do very well in europe--its about thinking.....again, it is long but very interesting and thought provoking...will have people who understand its content talking for awhile....in other words it totally blew us all away......to be honest its good and bad at the same time and no regrets in seeing it!
