I forgot to say that I like history and won't be dissapointed with the movie(someone wrote that history fans won't like the film)

Why? Do u think that Alexander's life was so simple and vain to be complety showed in two hours and a half?? Who are we talking about??

The movie should last, to satisfy all these annoying, bad-called historians, 20 years or more. I would like to see what could they do if they had to do a movie about Alexander. These people know anything except critisizing. I feel pity for them. Like if they knew everything about making movies... Rolling Eyes

As Angelina said in an interview: "no matter what we do or how we do it, we will always be critisized" (how right she is Sad

)

This ISN'T an American film. This is the largest film project to ever come out of Europe.

This film is the opposite of Hollywood.

Give away money? No. But they do take deals for the distribution of films, and that's what they did for Alexander. Not for production. Most of that money came from European investors, I'm pretty sure WarnerB is just into the distribution of the film. That's it.

It's hardly a poor indie flick, but Warner is not calling the shots either. Infact if Oliver played his cards right and bits from everybody nobody can really throw there weight around about what goes into the film, except for him.

Even if this was made in Hollywood, would that make it so terrible? I think Hollywood has done pretty well. If you like "Citizen Kane," "The Godfather," "The Great Escape"...do I really have to keep going?

it's just dangerous to generalize. there are many movies from "lawrence of arabia" to "three kings" with sympathetic middle-eastern characters. saying all hollywood movies from a certain time did one thing shows a lack of breadth in the film world.

you're also leaving out tons of smaller, independent films made by filmmakers of all races with protagonists and villains of all races.

that said, not too many british films looked too kindly on germany after ww2 either.

Dont go very deep in this - the history is so obscure about Alexandar that all we know about him comes from Demostenes and Plutarch. What if one of those were fantasists? or even both of them.
Like today we have a story about Arthur...I think at least this time Warner can feel free to imagination - I hated JFK because that was not true.

But this - who the hell knows!
