multi dimensional layers

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2005)

The story about the thin line between greatness and evil dictatorship is told in an excellent way surrounded by great action, drama, actors, visuals etc etc etc... Again a masterpiece of a director who knows what movies are mend to be. This 3 hours movie felt as if its duration was about an hour. The fact that most negative reviews refer to the character of Alexander proves that the actor did a great job in playing a narcissistic traumatized stiff-head with great mental power and vision. Kept me thinking for several days and I'm still asking myself why the movie does not gets the credits it deserves. Is it too shocking to see a hero who's taste and value's do not comply with todays archetype of super man?
