The story includes many historical facts and details, while also emphasizing some specific interpersonal relationships of Alexander’s. He leads the people to conquer other kingdoms, until he is finally stopped in India. After Alexander ( Colin Farrell) grows up, his “father” Philip ( Val Kilmer) dies, and Alexander takes over the kingdom. Starting as a young boy, we see Alexander (Connor Paolo) growing up and being taught by his teachers as well as his mother, Olympias ( Angelina Jolie). Most of all, I didn’t feel engaged in the movie, and found it very difficult to sympathize with any of the characters.īeginning and ending with Alexander’s death, this story has another set of bookends with the character Ptolemy ( Anthony Hopkins), who also provides narration throughout the story. Some scenes resonate with the current war in Iraq, but the strongest emphasis is the diversity of love relationships that Alexander has with others. Apart from a few captivating moments, the greatest thing about it is its running time.
