A fake lesson

Rating: 5/10 (26 December 2006)

Beautiful, grandiose, glamorous. But fake. The same ways of ambitions and love. Same tyrant and same ambition. The lights and powerful colors are important, the truth is only a small detail. I don't know is a competition with the "Gladiator" or with "Troy". The essential is very simply: it is not a Oliver Stone movie. The show is a combination Fellini - Ken Russell. "Alexander" is a history lesson with a senile teacher who wait save his illness with slices of imagination. Colin Firth is only a sophisticated puppet with great ambition. A golden scare-crow. The homoerotic relations are very different in old Greece of modern vision. And Alexander was a god, a real god, not a boy with bizarres impulses. May be "Alexander" a disillusion? Is it a "J.F.K." on the antiquity's scene? No! It is only the last move of a important director's career.
