This was a historical love project, you will never get these type of movies anymore. I don't understand the negative reviews, loved it.

Besides heavy criticism I really enjoy this movie. There are some powerful scenes and some battles are very cool. Alexander's speech at the ''edge of the world'' is one of my favorite scenes of all time.

People seem to fail to understand how serious such an act truly is. Almost being assassinated by those you trust and have grown up with. I can tell you that I would have become completely paranoid and mad with rage if I had been in the same position as Alexander

2:19 the document just says TAX SYSTEM in a Greek style font. Had a bit of a chuckle.

When this movie was released, audiences weren't ready for it. As time goes on, it gets better.

It's actually pretty interesting that Alexander ordered the assassination from Samarkand, Uzbekistan. There's still a hotel there named "Alexander".

For those who do not know, Hermolaus was a page that had his horse taken and himself scourged because on a hunt, he killed the prey before Alexander could. In his confession, he said he could not live without punishing Alexander for the humiliation he endured.

Farrell quotes this movie as the one that brought his by then enlarged ego crashing back to reality - " we all had our suits ready " , the cast and crew believed they had created something special only to have it crushed by punters and critics alike. Every now and again life gives you a kick to remind you you're not as big as you think, and the process makes us better for it.

Casander was the one true enemy of Alexander.

One of the truly beautiful moments in this movie. Such a shame about Parmenio, Philotas, Cleitus. I have to imagine Alexander hated these decisive moments.

This movie is a piece of a real genius. And I think its full recognition is still yet to come.

Check out 1:54 everyone, they're discussing whether or no to kill Parmenion and Cassander is just standing in the background all shady. As the conversation develops Alexander turns back to look at him and he does a Stannis nod to influnece him toward assassination. It's how he solves problems. He eventually kills off the rest of Alexanders family.

I'm very glad they put in this movie this part from history. It truly was a open question as to whether Parmenion had anything to do with the assassination attempt and whether he could be trusted to protect the supply lines and the return of the army after hearing of the death of his son. A hard choice, perhaps even in an unnecessary one, but one that Alexander was willing to make.

This movie ages so well

2:48 Finally opening the text book night before an exam

Cassander just watching and waiting...

2:18 ΤΑΧ ΣΥΣΤΕΜ

Joker, Lt. Tom „Iceman“ Kazanski, Hannibal Lecter, Ser Meryn Trant, The Hound and Lara Croft wow.. Colin Farrell had some great characters by his side in this film!

I liked this movie from the start. It was ahead of it's times and if you studied this period everything was fairly accurate and expected. A great period film.

Injustice by our standards. This was how Macedonians handled these things. Assassinations and plots were a daily occurrence and expected. If you failed, you could expect your entire family to be wiped out. Not only because they were likely conspirators, but because they would seek vengeance for the killing of their kin, just or not. If Philotus had to be killed, Parmenion had to be killed. After Alexander died, the Macedonians started massacring each other left and right. That was just how it was.

In Plutarch's biography of Alexander he says Philotas was never informed of any conspiracy but had simply put off 2 Macedonian brothers who asked him to arrange a private audience with Alexander. If Philotas had wanted the conspiracy to succeed ( as other historians believe) wouldn't Philotas have tried to silence the 2 brothers either by ruse or violence?

As a lover and former student of history with obsession for facts I never thought I will ever say this but, in an age where historical movies and people like Alexander the Great are slowly forgotten as our values are changing, this movie, whether is good or bad we should all be happy it exists.

That actor asked the director to throw to him a real spear for the realism of the shot..... what a F*cking legend.

To be a Macedonian monarch was an unbelievable challenge.

Hold on, can we talk about how COOL his teacup is?

The killing of Parmenion was a huge act of injustice. Yes, I know he was powerful enough to pose a danger to Alexander's projects, but it would be better if they just exiled or imprisoned Philotas.

1:33 Eye see Sir Meryn Trant managed to get one of his eye balls back and survived Arya Stark.

In Plutarch's Life of Alexander Philotas is portrayed as innocent. All he does is put off Cebalinus who asked for an audience with Alexander. He's never told in concerns an assassination plot. Cebalinus later meets with Alexander and he tells him of the plot. When Alexander finds out Cebalinus has known of the plot for days Alexander is suspicious. Cebalinus and his brother then say they'd told Philotas of the plot when they asked him to arrange an audience. If Philotas wanted the plot to succeed he'd realize Cebalinus and his brother would need to be kept quiet one way or another. Plutarch portrays Alexander as influenced by Hephaistion and others to torture and execute Philotas. This seems much more realistic than Philotas knowing of the plot, doing nothing and then admitting he'd been told of it.

1:02 Sometimes it's good to have a few friends

in reality philotas was innocent.. he was favored by Philip an snitched on alexander to him when they were young. alexander never forgot this. also he was tortured an burned for hours then likely stoned to death

Crazy how people still love this young king thousands of years later no one from the past has had this honour but no one is as deserving of such reverence as he, no man will be remembered like alexander ever again

I’ve found that some of the Ridley Scott epics like Kingdom of heaven, and Alexander - have aged very well.

I think this movie greatly depicts the fucked up aspects of policies that reigned for most of human history

0:15 This scene onwards alexander wasn't the same anymore. Only later while his best friend Hephaestion near death, he pretended being his former glorious self for the last time. His friend died knowing alexander only doing it out of love for him.

That’s what you get for betraying William Wallace!

It does seem that Alexander favored the guys he grew up with not the old guard of his father at times! the soldiers during phillip time were tierd of war and by this time very rich men.

I prefer the version of the story where the pages were waiting to murder the king when he came to bed but he ended up getting lashed with the boys all night and never went to sleep and so the pages were eventually discovered in their plot.

Those we hold closely sometimes are the real true enemies

0:25 this guy is gorgeous, he looks like he came out of an old painting 😍

I think it was Cassander not Philotas

Thats the most badass firing squad I've ever seen

I'm sorry Alexander, I just don't want to be friends anymore. - Philotus

Roxanne was involved in the main of Alexander´s poisoning attempts, says Oliver Stone in the DVD´s comments. But Alexander always forgave her, because he wanted to have a child with her in any way possible, he was obsessed with this idea.

1:15 Executioner: "Oké, try not to move..."

Antigonus recommended to Alexander the absolute necessity of killing Parmenion. And yet later he cradled his dying old friend in his arms as well....

My favorite part was realizing Joseph Morgan had acted as Philotas

Claus lives through ages !

Loved the movie!! Love Colin😍

Tactic and thank God for the confusion and yes I need to communicate with.....😮

أضخم انتاج عالمي في تاريخ السينما العالمية ،جرى تمثيله في نواحي مراكش بمنطقة امزميز تبعد عن مراكش بحولي55 كلم.

For those who came here for Joseph Morgan (a.k.a) Klaus 0:43

My man Klaus got pierced

Truly heavy seen criticism I really like to sure enjoy this film movie. These are some powerful scenes and some Empire Army to the battles are very cool. Alexander is a speech at the ''at the edge of world'' is one of my favorite scenes of all time , I Love My Hero Alexander The Great from Egypt.

It is false that it is not historically accurate, you just have to understand that it is impossible to compact such a story in such a short space, and in this case the director did it brilliantly, with good actors and brilliant performances, remembering the Gaugamela scene which is considered one of the most successful military scenes in cinema. And about the Persians, in the eyes of the Greeks all those peoples who lived outside the Greek ecumene were considered barbarians (even the Macedonians themselves were once considered barbarians), and in this case it would be necessary to give considerable depth to the argument to see if, taking into account the negative connotations that the term "barbarian" has today, the Persians would adjust or not to that term. I consider this film to be a masterpiece, which allows us, with a great setting and an excellent soundtrack, to transport us to the Hellenistic world, to put ourselves in the shoes of those adventurous soldiers who did something extraordinary and explored the confines of their world. He even makes you understand and live his feelings in scenes like Clito's death or the scene in this video in question.

Another chapter in Klaus' life

its weird; out of all the characters, Cassander'a scenes mostly show him being alone. Aside from him standing next to Roxanna here.

Joseph Morgan is an amazing actor!

The soundtracks and just this movie in general should be put on a thick titanium disk to weather the time and catastrophes to come so that our survivors know at least a piece of their history. We dont want another nearly complete wipe of memory like the Younger Dryas comet impacts and the Great Flood caused by them. Because as you can see today, very few people believe stories, which are the only thing that survived the Great Flood/comet impacts. Stories no one wants to believe even though their foundations have recently been proven to be founded in reality.

3:26 to 3:27 is that Alexandong the Great between his legs?

Although more common in ancient times, torture is a difficult subject even today. On the one hand it's obviously atrocious and unspiritual, *the only thing worse is assassination.* On the other hand, by finding out what is going to happen, as well as when and where, it can save lives, both military and civilian. However, this goes back to how closely a society wishes to remain converged with their Spiritual Principles. Because righteous individuals within a righteous society at large *would* be willing to suffer any pain to remain so converged, *knowing* that anyone who dies in the defence of remaining so converged *will* be reborn into a heavenly society. Individually there are serious issues also, because it is impossible to implement torture with a pure state of mind due to the *lack of an immediate* threat. Which means those involved with torture *at any level* will *believe* they can get away with anything without repercussion, to almost comical levels. This corruption reduces their ability to have virtuous interactions with *everyone,* effectively pointing them towards the hell planets. Unlike a righteous warrior converged in the Principles of Warrior Nobility roaming an open battlefield engaged in virtuous temporal/spiritual combat against an opposing force that is always looking to *immediately* destroy him. There are other issues too from a purely military standpoint because an Army that is *known* to not torture is more likely to be surrendered to, and surrender is the quickest method of victory. Especially when that Army is also *known* for using minimum force, rejoicing taking prisoners, and generally showing the utmost respect, even for their opponent's corpses. Because an Army *becomes honorable* by extending this utmost *Love & Compassion* as a matter of principle throughout all its warfaring. And by doing so it actually does *all that can be done* to ensure anyone captured will divulge *accurate* information voluntarily. Ultimately, the goal of a supremely noble society at large should be never *requiring* torture ever again by *any* means. And each individual must *believe* the path to achieving that *begins* with not *causing or even consenting* to torture *anywhere.* And each individual and society at large must have the Spiritual Strength to *continue* not torturing ever again under any circumstances despite whatever painful consequences may result. Because they will *know* there are both *temporal & spiritual benefits* to be gained from not torturing ever again that are superior to the lesser temporal benefits gained from torturing.

at 2min50, is this in english?? "however", " the vanity of life" , " to have been", "the god of wealth" etc...

I hope the new napoleon film goes in September like this movie.

Colin farrel is not convincing as Alexander..that pretty much spoils the movie

This is serial part of "this land is mine"

watched a good documentary on how Alexander may have been poised , by Cassander and his dad, Antipater , who Alexander mother was on bad terms with Antipater at the time

If he would have not faced bangers in Punjab, it would be hard for anyone to conspire against him

Alexander: dammit Klaus ...

I would never be able to betray such a great king, anyway I'm to loyal for my own good anyway

Alexander bout to get some bussy

what movie is this?

The wolves kill each others

Was this part in the theatrical release?

Hay criticas y tendria que averlas, ya que la pelicula de alejandro magno revela su pasión y vida al pie de la letra, que el mundo conozca su historia y comprenda que siempre habra amigos e enemigos y conspiraciones.

Down with the traitors!!!

I think it is a great movie Colin is brilliant 🇮🇪💯

“None of Us *defended* Philotus; but, then again, None of Us ever *Liked* him…. …..and of course, His *Power* was carved-up by *The Rest of Us* -

I’ve heard Alexander liked to give as much as receive

nice alexander made his enemies feel he was empty handed

Who knows if Philotas and Parmenio it looks like Parmenio not was implicated maybe was all Cassander and his father Antipater...

I really wanna see the director cut

Very unconvincing Alexander.

Ahh so many incredible historical events that happened in Alexander's life, like the fist battle he fought at the side of his father, by crushing the Greek League, Siege to Tyre, the cut of the giordan knot, when be became Egypt Pharaoh, the burnt of Persepolis, etc...and they skipped them or just "talk" about them but instead they showed Alexander's bisexuality as the highlight of his life, I mean we already know he was man of his time, but he was not the legendary Alexander the Great because he was a gay King, but a conqueror, leader and military genius.

Sad this is not the version where shows Hermolaus killing himself...

Exactly how many miles can be covered by "three days hard riding?"

It’s documented that Alexander began to exhibit signs of megalomania and paranoia.

After reading the Lion of Macedon from Gemmel, it's sad to see Parmenion death.

So what did philotas and his father do ? For this to happen to them.? Were they really guilty ?

The Aesthetics Candy Cookie Gameplays Food Poisoning Gameplays also have been cancelled ended.

Poison often smells of Cinnamon. This may have been what threw Alexander off to the poison.

If parmerion and philotus been spared they would ve easily usurperd that huge kingdom killing all the diodochi with him thats y he wanted 2 kill them he just needed the excuse. in the end ptolmey, selecius and casander reeped alexander hard work

Niklaus Mikaelson what are you doing here😭

Epic planning

B4 facui gos we must find out what he knows in the same manner.

I think matthew mcconaughey would be a good actor to be cast as alexander. Not only does he have the looks but also is a better actor. His hair is rather like that of alexander. Even his face is similiar.

....umiał prowadzać wojsko...😊👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

It was Greek social law that the fault of the son lies on the father as well and both are punished as a result.

the first lady betrayed ehh FLotus

Didnt know Macedonians spoke with irish accents back then.. new bit of history for us 👍

Whats the name of movie?

Bellissimo
