This film is too long and now has even more family angst

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2016)

Alexander: Director's Cut, 2004.
*Spoiler/plot- The son of a Macedonian primitive ruler becomes the first emperor of the ancient known world from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean. The film follows his rise and fall and the repercussions on the modern and ancient world.
*Special Stars- Colin Farrell, Angeline Jolie, Val Kilmer, Anthony Hopkins. DIR- Oliver Stone.
*Theme- A damaged childhood from mother and father can have vast consequences.
*Trivia/location/goofs- A European co-production that flopped first time out for director Oliver Stone. This director's re-cut and re-release is confirmation that his film was too long and had an unrecognizable plot.
*Emotion- This film is too long and now has even more family angst added to this new version. What is also jarring is the fact that the lead Greek heroes have hard Irish accents, especially from Colin Ferrell who plays Alexander the Macedonia from upper Greece. Even Angeline Jolie makes terrible mistakes in her shifting Russian accent from her character throughout the film.
*Based on- Herodotus and Ptolemy written accounts of Alexander's life from 100 years later.
