Not a bad movie

Rating: 7/10 (7 December 2007)

The movie made a good attempt to describe the life of Alexander the Great. He could have done much better though. The cynics who try to put Alexander in the same basket with other conquerors such as Genghis Khan - Mongol Conqueror, Attila etc, I think they could be wrong. Alexander's teacher was the great ancient philosopher Aristotle. He was a brave man with a child's heart. He did not go for gold or for power but for adventure and heroism as is depicted in his role models of Achillies and Heracles. The movie I think managed to exhibit this good trait of Alexander in a good degree. Alexander is an excellent example of what a humans can do if they have a dream and a vision. Nevertheless, Alexander may not have been a very happy man. Nobody explained to him what the real meaning of life is. Nevertheless he was a charismatic personality, a noble soul. He was the one and only Alexander, Alexander the Great.
Fortune favors the brave, Alexander.
