First Movie in Laptop

Hi all, Yesterday, after a long confusion in selecting a movie, I decided to watch 'Alexander'. I think many would have watched this movie. So bear with me if my view is different from yours. Since childhood, whenever we study or hear about him, we called him as 'Alexander, The Great'. But why the movie depicting his life has only 'Alexander' as title? Didn't they want to show his greatness in the movie?. I think so. The film mainly shows Alexander's sufferings. The big disappointment came in the starting of the movie itself. That is Angelina Jolie is doing Alexander's mother role :(. It is better if u knew about Greek Mythology,Aristotle etc. before watching this movie or atleast about 'Achilles'. Becoz they speak more about them than Alexander. But i won't say this is a bad film. It depicts that Alexander treats every country men equally, which was the major cause of the dispute arisen between him and his friends. He even married a barbarian girl who are considered as lower race compared to Macedonians. And it shows his deep friendship with Hephaistion (though many scenes are confusing about their relationship).I got surprised at one scene where they came to India and kill the monkeys thinking that they are tribal peoples. At last they will get convinced that it's an animal. In climax he dies while returning to home after 7 yrs.I think they r telling that if u want glory u have to die at younger age (or) glory is important than living long life. Got confused???.. Me too:).
