Alexander

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2005)

I thought Alexander was a great movie. It was all and more of what a movie should be which is truth and not an illusion of what we want to hear to make us feel comfortable. I like this movie because it took chances with its audience by showing Alexander's passion, his ignorance, and his sexuality. All of which made him human. In movies we get feed this image that seems a bit surreal and in a Alexander it just feels so real and I'm not a historian, but from my teachers i've heard that Alexander is better historically shown than Troy(w/ brad Pitt) but yet critics beat down Alxenader and Troy was treated better. I think if you are willing to open your mind from what has been feed to you you can truly appreciate this movie and what it offers.
