Whatever people may say about this movie on how badly it is made (which I totally disagree),
they clearly donโt get the message behind it.
The purpose is to invoke your inner lion from within you to conquer your demons and be an alpha in life.
Saying that, ever since my dad got the DVD of this movie for me, and the tales of Alexander being such a big part of my child and boyhood, I think this movie does justice to the actual King Of Kings.
Ever since I watched this for the first time (around 11 years or so ago), this film captivates me any time Iโm reminded of it.
Collin Farrell did an excellent job portraying the ferocity, fearlessness and determination of the actual King of Kings and to this day, I can proudly say that in terms of acting and story line, this is one of my favourite movies ever.
I really donโt understand how people can completely undermine this movie and although there could be some obvious errors, the message of this movie will never die out:
As Alexander said before defeating Darius in the movie, โ Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death itselfโ!!!!!
Now how could that not be more fitting to the mindset of that great man???!!!!!!!!!
Also, Iโd like to say the same for Troy. Yes, the story line is completely messed (only reason ppl watching it being the fact that all actors in the movie are legends and acting is on point), the main thing people take from the movie is the fact of the ferocity of Achilles and how heโs afraid of nothing, as should we all.
And whether you like it or not, the movie is Likely more accurate than Troy and I feel that is the main reason many donโt like it.
Thereโs no scandal, drama or anything exciting for people go crazy over.
As a history freak and Alexander being my idol for as long as I can remember, I can clearly understand why many didnโt enjoy this film because I LOVED IT
