The commercials make me howl. "There will never be another Alexander like you.... Alexander the Great."

― I Am Curious (George) (Rock Hardy), Friday, 19 November 2004 04:11 (twenty-one years ago)

the shot in the trailer with the battling elephants is kind of cool, but i bet that scene lasts about 10 seconds in the final movie (which is probably like three hours right?)

Can we talk about how HORRIBLE this looks? Alexander had red hair. Not loreal Feria for men blond. And that's the least of my worries.

if it were like that shot of battling elephants in slo-mo for about two hours i'd totally shell out $9.50 to see this

My favorite picture is the one where Angelina "Mom" Jolie is like scolding him or something and Colin is really obviously checking her tits. "GO TO YOUR ROOM ALEXANDER YOU CANNOT CONQUER PERSIA TODAY" "MOM U R SO SEXY" Enter Val Kilmer "EXCUSE ME HAS ANYONE SEEN MY CAREER? WHY AM I PLAYING COLIN FARREL'S DAD?" "BECAUSE U R SO OLD OOOH PWND"

re: Jolie's accent.

I think its supposed to be somewhat transylvanian. I mean, that doesnt really make any sense since the language of that area was not in any way like what it is now, but Olympias was supposedly from the northern tribes/barbarians that Phillip was smacking down in order to consolidate Macedonia. So geographically its moderately accurate and I think thats what she was going for.. As for all the Irish accents in the movie: theres no good explanation for that.

I would have enjoyed this movie a bit more if I didnt have to go to the bathroom 2 hours in and if I didnt think that something was going to actually happen during that last hour. Perhaps I thought Rosario Dawson was gonna get nekkid again.

― still bevens (bscrubbins), Monday, 29 November 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I've just decided that that is Angelina Jolie's actual real voice.

They teased us with the gay, but never really SHOWED us the gay. I saw a review somewhere that said:

"It's as if everyone's baking cakes but nobody's allowed to say the word "cake"."

I was irritated and disappointed with nearly everything, except Bagoas. DAMN. Nice one.

― Layna Andersen (Layna Andersen), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 03:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I suspect the Greek lawyers realized they weren't going to get any cash out of this one.

Greek lawyers have put plans to sue the makers of film epic Alexander, which shows the ruler as bisexual, on ice.

The group had claimed the film was "pure fiction and not a true depiction of Alexander's life", and wanted this made clear to cinema-goers.

But the lawyers have withrawn their demand to have the film's opening on Friday delayed, so they can watch a preview screening of it.

It says here:

Epic film Alexander is fighting back after its poor showing at the US box office with strong figures in Europe, according to reports.

Film industry publication Screen Daily reports the film has doubled its $34m (£18m) US takings outside America.

That included ticket receipts of $18.7m (£9.9m) in the past weekend following a good opening in Spain, it said.

two months pass...

So, Mr. Stone apparently gave a talk at UC Berkeley the other day and had some things to say, as these notes posted elsewhere indicate:

I also made notes from the talk, and was particularly interested in Stone’s plans for the DVD edit of the movie, and also to see what his thinking was about the comments he'd made on the supposed ‘over-emphasis’ of Alexander and Hephaistion’s homosexual relationship, and how he planned to change that. Not sure if I ought to post them here, or on the discussion thread, so please move it Dara if you need to. This seems to be the gist of it:

It seems the main thesis of the movie that he is trying to clarify is Alexander’s feelings about the death of his father, and his feelings about his mother’s possible complicity in the assassination. Stone has re-edited the movie for the DVD version and it seems he is adopting the non-linear approach as he originally intended, with a parallel story being told. The movie will last two and a half hours (the attention span of the US public, he says) and will be released in July.

The early scenes in Greece will be end at the scene in the cave with Philip and Alexander. The movie will then shift to adult Alexander at Gaugamela. The missing scenes will be moved to the third act, as he calls it, when “all the ironic echoes of what he did when young are repeated when he is older, and all the tensions bear fruit.”
It seems then – if I understand what he’s saying – the scene where Olympias is urging Alexander to marry will be shown after his marriage to Roxane. “After he marries her, he has the relationship, now you bring the mother in, full blast - parallel – she’s telling him to get the throne, how to marry – he does everything opposite to what his mother says. And at that point, the movie reaches another level.”

Similarly, the mutiny scene will be paralleled with the murder of his father; Cleitus’ death with the banquet scene. And finally, “The greatest moment of all – which I think I blew – which is on the DVD – is when Alexander is mortally wounded. He rises above the trees and the last scene he sees of himself, is him and his mother. Where the mother doesn’t deny or accept the guilt --- ‘take the power it’s yours’….. He recognises in that moment how like his mother he is”

He is cutting down on Ptolemy’s narration – less history – “frankly they can go read it. I don’t mind a simpler approach.” (He says the studio wanted him to cut Ptolemy out of the movie and make it a first person voice over “what a disaster”)

He says of Alexander and Hephaistion's relationship;
“I think I got carried away with the homosexuality because I wanted to reinforce the relationship, but I think the relationship is clear with less emphasis, as I will show you in the DVD.” He mentions the homophobia he encountered in English-speaking countries. “People mistake the homosexuality in Alexander with their own present day version of it, and it’s not similar…”

The interviewer then asks Stone, “How do you get people with 21st century eyes to see this; in a sense, this was a fact of his life. Don’t you feel that you have an obligation to keep that as part of his story? How do you resist even that kind of homophobia?”

Stone; “I didn’t - I put it in. The facts are, we do not know that he had… he became king at nineteen, you gave up your male lovers or you had them quietly…..(he mentions Greek male relationship conventions of the time)… I think that Alexander probably gave up his relationship with Hephaistion. If he had one, which I think he did. By that time, by the time they were in the field they were simply soulmates. They were lovers in the platonic sense of the word, as Aristotle laid out in the movie earlier on, ‘to love the other, to bring out the best in the other, not for any self-gain’ -which is a beautiful philosophical concept; that’s what I got hooked on. Unfortunately, perhaps too much for the American audience, and maybe the world audience. I think I could be a little bit more subtle there, but it’s an important point and I just didn’t want to lose it. Because the Greeks when very outside the Roman philosophy, the Greeks were sensual, they worshipped the body in the most positive sense…..”

But the Feria remains unchanged.

I just watched this and really enjoyed it -- entertaining as hell for all the right and wrong reasons. The forest battle in India was really stunning, I thought. Angelina Jolie ruined every single scene she was in. I gave up on caring about the accents everyone had 5 minutes into the film. Nice use of eyeliner throughout. Bucephalus roolz.

This is collectively the WORSE acted movie I think I have ever seen with Colin Farrell's performance taking the cake as the worst performance in the WORST acted movie and what is possibly the most laughably bad acting job ever. I can't imagine anyone watching the dailies of this film and thinking it was good. . . no wait I can't imagine anyone OTHER than Oliver Stone watching the dailies and thinking they were not AWFUL. Just a terrible movie.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 06:53 (twenty years ago)

Yeah it was easily the worst movie I've ever seen, I'm with ya man.

She was the only one who knew what she was doing! Chewing scenery as it if was cotton candy.

It's also too long and too boring to even be much campy fun. After 45 minutes I didn't even want to make fun of it anymore! I just wanted to die!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

Had it just been the four of us in the theatre when we saw it, we would have made much more ready fun of it. But as you say, too long and too boring.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

It is! And the ending is utterly crap, nothing at all, I mean it's like ok Anthony Hopkins is talking again, ok credits...what???

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

yeah its a bit drawn out, to say the least. i didnt finish it. it was pretty funny though.

oddly, for such a colossally bad movie it is really pretty-looking. The colors in some shots are really gorgeous.

but damn, its baaaaaaaaaad. i wasn't quite prepared for the level of bad it reached. i mean, there are worse movies, but not many!

again, funny as hell though.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

Actually the true classic moment was Angelina Jolie when Colin died.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 17:06 (twenty years ago)

My So Called Life's death is really really funny. I like the way he's convulsing in the background while Colin is pontificating on how they will conquer the WEST.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 17:07 (twenty years ago)

I like that Oliver Stone can't resist conspiracy theories even in this MOVIE!

Also was anyone else disappointed that we didn't get to see Velvet Goldmine kill everyone (esp. the Rent chick) at the end Godfather-style?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 17:11 (twenty years ago)

I highly recommend you all to rent the dvd and listen to the director's commentary, wherein Oliver Stone tells us "It's because the audience
is so dumb that I had to over simplify my movie. With lots of captions. And flashbacks." Also he says that Alexander is actually a "tri-sexual".

A look beyond one’s knee-jerk responses to the representation of what might be deemed camp clichés of the epic movie form (British accents standing in for the Others; bold, oversized performances; a cast dressed in togas and golden armor; et al) ought to reveal that the movie is only as absurd and moth-eaten as a viewer wants it to be.

Damn that's some good crack he's swilling.
