Alexander Revisited
Underrated movie, I really enjoyed when I watched it last. I feel though you lose some of the appeal when you're not too familiar with the story of Alexander.

They're home to probably the most authentic ancient battle scenes on the screen. Gaugamela is a masterpiece.

>>86413761
>film the battle on the ACTUAL Gettysburg battlefield

I've never heard of this movies, is this actually true? If so its kind of unprecedented in terms of filmmaking

Alexander isn't a great film by any means but this movie really does capture his mindset as it was chronicled by ancient historians.

Some it was and some wasn't. The actual battle site is a motley mix of preserved farms and memorials to the dead. The sections depicting the battles of Devil's den and the fight at Little Round Top were filmed on the exact site, where Pickett's Charge was filmed at a nearby farm because a memorial would've been in shot at the actual site.

I thought it was aztecs they got abducted by

>>86415376
Actually no, they were late period Neo-Maya according to Gibson and the writers. The language they speak is also Maya.

That was one of the "it aint accurate complaints" that was leveled by Mexicans when the film came out, but there dumbasses never realized it wasn't about the Aztecs anyway.

Nah...the costumes are accurate as is the portrayal of the complex relationship between Christians and Muslims in the Crusader States, but other than that its sort of not.

The choreography is fantasy and the real story of Balian of Ibelin doesn't resemble that of Orlando Blooms in the slightest.

Alexander is very good for military accuracy and the behaviour of the Macedonian Greeks.

I especially loved how they used English actors for the Greeks and Irish actors to portray the Macedonians (classical historyfags will note that the Macedonian dialect of Koine Greek was considered "barbaric" by their southern counterparts). So much hidden detail.

>>86417068
The north of Italy was very Gallic, genetically speaking. In fact, many civilisations of the ancient world had experienced Gallic incursions at some stage; i.e. Galatia/Liguria/Venetia etc.) so it's entirely plausible to have legionaries/Romans of Gallic origin in the Republic at this time.

Too much modern political motives placed in the film, including the inaccurate portrayal of events and characters' actions. Still a great movie though.

>>86418202
I (and a lot of critics) find some of the acting kind of laughable. And the pacing kind of sucks too. There's a guy a youtube who reviews historical films and he brought up an excellent point regarding the matter.

Say for example you've never read any history of Alexander and want to watch the movie. During the opening scene where he plans Gaugamela he mentions all of his commanding officers (Perdicas, Ptolemy, Parmenion, Antigones) by name. If you were watching that scene for the first time you have literally NO CLUE who those people are and what there significance is to history. Not only that but you only get to here their names like once, and are expected by the film to just suddenly memorize there faces for future reference.

If you aren't into history the film require a fucking guide book to understand, and I don't think it should when better writing could help it.

As a film though its a solid 10/10

I remember they had that "dying elephant" after the battle of thapsus in rome

>>86418462
I find the pacing a bit like history, some things are slow and "boring" and others are exciting and filled with turning points. That's something I like about the movie actually. Idk about the acting, perhaps the actor portraying Alexander was a bit too dramatic and passionate, but I don't mind that either since a guy who has to convince his men to take on the world would have to be passionate as fuck.
Also,
>implying there's anything bad with having people to actually read some history in order to further enjoy a film about history

>>86418537
Yeah but how else are you suppose to introduce new people to Greek history if its that fucking dense.

The problem isn't even that its dense, its that it has no fucking need to be. All Stone had to do was write in a few lines here in there were Alexander basically says "Hi Antigones" to remind the audience their names and roles.

>>86417830

To this day I've never found out how they did it. I tried looking on the DVD extras but they don't go in depth that much. Which is a shame

There's even a shot with multiple elephants running in the background I'm pretty sure its not CGI, which means these fuckers got like 6 elephants for this movie.
