This movie has flaws. It is imperfect. The casual audiences and masses find a distaste for it. Arguing over what race he was, or other meaningless rhetoric. Yet, this is not what I have found. For whatever reason, the first time I watched this movie, left me in deep thoughts, in a way, it scarred me spiritually. From a historical view, he was probably a warmonger, a monster. But, I judge him by his time, and what we truly know of the world. If that was his only trait, then why is it more than 2300 years later, we idolize this man? I do not see us idolizing Genghis Khan in the same way, nor other generals/kings, before or since. Truly, his tale somehow resonates with every young boy who learns of it. The mysterious reason behind this, I feel, will always remain that way, unknown.
“His failure towered over other men’s successes” I love this line, it’s so inspiring, imagine being so great a man that people could say that of you when you’re gone.

@@luckyruhela Are you taking your sources of information out of your ass. Alexander beat Porus in Hydaspes and took his kingdom and all neighboring tribes in the region of the punjab. Porus then was asked by Alexander how he would like to be treated to which he responded "as a king ought", merciful Alexander then granted his wishes and allowed Porus to rule in the region as his subsidiary. As proof of this, the punjab was still being ruled by the greeks for decades after Alexander died, under his successor Seleucus. So yeah youre stupid, Alexander never lost a battle in his life. Going back to the capital to reinforce the army is not a loss.
Full text: "Our world is gone now. I’m the last left alive. Whether that’s a blessing or a curse who by Hades would know. But I’ve paid my price in blood. And in broken dreams. Now I am the keeper of his body, embalmed here in the Egyptian ways. I followed him as Pharaoh, and have now ruled 40 years. I am the victor. But what does it all mean when there is not one left to remember - the great cavalry charge at Gaugamela, or the mountains of the Hindu Kush when we crossed a 100,000-man army into India? They say we were the greatest fighting force ever known to man. Greater even than the expedition to Troy. But how can I say it? How can I tell you what it is like to be young and to dream big dreams? To believe when Alexander looked you in the eye, you could do anything. Anything. In his presence, by the light of Apollo, we were better than ourselves. Truly, I’ve known many great men in my life but only one colossus. And only now, when old do I understand who this force of nature really was. Or do I? Did such a man as Alexander exist? Of course not. We idolize him, make him better than he was. Men, all men, reach and fall, reach and fall. Eighteen great Alexandrias he built across this world. It was an empire, not of land and gold, but of the mind. It was a Hellenic civilization open to all. He was a god, Cadmos, or as close as anything I’ve ever known. “Tyrant!” they yell so easily. I laugh. No tyrant ever gave back so much. What do they know of the world, these schoolboys? But they have never seen the great cavalry charge of Gaugamela, or the mountains of the Hindu Kush when we crossed a hundred-thousand-man army into lndia. It takes strong men to rule. Alexander was more, he was a Prometheus, a friend to man. He changed the world. Before him, there were tribes and after him, all was possible. There was suddenly a sense the world could be ruled by one king and be better for all. But the truth is never simple and yet it is. The truth is, we did kill him. By silence, we consented. Because- Because we couldn’t go on. After all this time, to give away our wealth to Asian sycophants we despised? Mixing the races, harmony? Oh, he talked of these things, but wasn’t it really about Alexander and another population ready to obey him? I never believed in his dream. None of us did. That’s the truth of his life. The dreamers exhaust us. They must die before they kill us with their blasted dreams. Oh, he could have stayed home in Macedonia, married, raised a family. He’d have died a celebrated man. But this was not Alexander. All his life, he fought to free himself from fear. And by this, and this alone, he was made free. The freest man l’ve ever known. His tragedy was one of increasing loneliness and impatience with those who could not understand. And if his desire to reconcile Greek and barbarian ended in failure. What failure! His failure towered over other men’s successes. I’ve lived - I’ve lived long life, Cadmos, but the glory and the memory of man will always belong to the ones who follow their great visions. And the greatest of these is the one they now call 'Megas Alexandros'. The greatest Alexander of them all."
This movie is very close to my heart. Alexander & his fearless attitude inspires me every time to keep going in every phase of life. Hats off to Sir Vengalis for the unbelievable music which goes inside you and make you mad. 🙌🏼

"I've known many great men, but only one Colossus" my god that is such a suiting line for Alexander. People never truly understand how much of an anomaly Alexander truly was

Problem is that its not very profitable. There are not so many people that are interested in these topics. Few people would be drawn towards it to watch it. Sometimes ago art was made by inspiration now its mainly money driven. If they do make such series it would need to have stupid effects and costumes to attract idiots and make money.

The greatest movie about Alexander the great. Imperishable glory of a man with a great vision who changed the world forever."A Hellenic civilization open to all"! What a beautiful movie! Great editing! My all time favorite film!
It is a great movie, especially of Olympias, Gaugemela, Babylon and the Hindu Kush. And Phillips wedding and assassination. Oliver captures a lot of the spirit of that time, and Vangelis's music is genius. Things were actually harsher though. Alexander was more confident, and knew almost everything going down. Especially enjoyed playing with his deadly Agrianians. Who knew his dressing up was an act. He was worried that Kleitus had joined Parmenios plot. (he hadnt). But was blindsided by the Aristotle/Antipater/Kassander/Iollas poisoning. Thamks for this
Imagine we had the ideas and values of the ancient times with modern technologies and medicine. Humanity would have been invincible reaching beyond the stars. Imagine Babylon still standing today, arts, beauty, wisdom, greatness. A whole world for new generations to be proud of.
The values and ideas of the ancient times are incompatible with the modern technologies and medicines of today. It’s a great dream what this clip presents but it wasn’t like this in the ancient times I believe. There was no alluring and energetic music playing in the background, there were no filters to make it seem all golden and fairy like. The ancient times were brutal compared to today’s standards.

DreamerAfterAll thank you for your effort, your work takes us to ancient world. I know Alexander is your hero as mine. Alexander The Great the greatest man ever.
Ptolemy was probably the most sensible of the somatophylakes... He didn't get involved much in the murderous infighting after Alexander death.. He grabbed Egypt for himself and ruled their for fourty long years
Ptolemy X Alexander I Soter, (born 367/366 BC, Macedonia-died 283/282, Egypt), Macedonian general of Alexander the Great, who became ruler of Egypt (323-285 BC) and founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Then during that time of Alexander the great Macedonia-Greek For My great Alexander from Egypt and The Good Teacher Aristotle and Greek cultures stuffs in Alexandria House of Egypt in Library books
Ladies and Gentlemen here is one of Cleopatra’s ancestors. As a fellow African, I beg you my brothers and sisters. Cleopatra was of Greek descent, the last of Ptolemy dynasty.
He was viewed as a god...he never tired..we followed a man whose thirst was endless. A home he sought, a home of freedom, acceptance and love. Tyranny was the cry of the uneducated. We laughed at them; if they only walked his path as we did. We followed until our undertanding of our world ended and a new one began. Alexander's vision was larger than our dreams. The many failures he had made our successes seem unimportant. His life was tearing him apart, but he did not stop. A true leader and explorer.
@@scottspencer6899 THE ANABASIS OF ALEXANDER. I took everything I read and created my own excerpt of what Ptolemy witnessed and wrote during Alexander's campaigns. Although these words are not 100% to the letter, it does paint a picture of what Ptolemy witnessed.
Many in your nation will try to convince you that Alexander was an enemy, thats not true, Alexander was truly an anomaly in history, he did not want to force any culture upon others, Alexander wanted a single world government under one leader, no one understood his dreams, all his generals were concerned with material gains only Alexander had the vision. Yes, he did not venture further into India, if he did, he might have won, he might have lost but that doesn't change the fact that most never truly understood his perspective, his own generals conspired because they wanted a piece of his large empire for themselves, he was the conqueror of the world yet still a lonely man
ALEΞANDROS WAS THE GREATEST OF ALL GREAT GREEKS AND THE PEOPLES OF ASIA CALL HIM ISKANTER AND STILL LOVE HIM AS A GOD...HOW MANY MEN CAN DO THAT,I WONDER.
How it must've been for those men to leave Greece and travel to faraway lands for the first time, see new cities, cultures, and people..... If only alexander had lived to be 60, how would the world have looked...
Truth be told Alexander probably wasnt the nicest guy ever. Written sources from those times tend to over exxaggerate a ton, it's clear they want to paint him almost as a god and loved by all. However Alexanders military and leadership cabilities cant be neglected.
Ofcourse such an idolized man doesn't exist, nor can he. But think, why is it that there is only a select few men in history who are viewed in such a way? A question that I, nor anyone living can answer.
@@sumandas9487 Alessandro governava L'Impero. I suoi generali governavano le satrapie (province) occupate. I discendenti del generale nominato da Alessandro, hanno governato l'India per anni e anni. Si chiamavano i Regni indo-greche. Non scrivere cazzate. E non parlare di "Vittoria". Il Re indiano ha PERSO, è basta.
Beautiful video. However I find the description of the burning of the library to be a bit misleading. We don't know when the library was destroyed. Could've been four seperate times. 1st: Caesar in 47 B.C. during the Egyptian Campaign, 2nd: Aurelian's Reconquest of the East, 3rd: The anti-Pagan riots of the 390s A.D., or the Islamic Conquest in the 600s. And we aren't really going to figure out when it was destroyed until we invent a time machine. :/
Please please silent for the 1 min and close the eye for our Boss Alexander 💯💯 😔😔😔😔❤️❤️❤️❤️ Alexander Alexander Alexander Alexander Alexander Alexander Alexander Alexander your team is here My Boss please please come back 😢😭😭😭😭😭😭
Seleukos was the victor, not Ptolemy. He did what Alexander did until he was 80, not born a king, defeating his peers many times with inferior arms. Defeating Demetrios at Gaza, Nicanor in Persia, again Demetrios and then Antigonos in Babylonia, Stasanor in Bactria, fought and made peace with Chandragupta Maurya, defeated Antigonos, Demetrios and Pyrhos at Ipsos, then Demetrios again in Kilikia, Lysimachos at Korrupedium, only to be killed by the son of Ptolemy, the man who stole his throne in Egypt after stealing the body of Alexander, initiating the wars of the succesors. Seluekos was the true successor of Alexander, rightly named Nikator, the Victor.

Thank you Mr. Morgan! You're the best character created to this day! I hope to release RDR2 tribute video soon.
DreamerAfterAll thank you for your effort, your work takes us to ancient world. I know Alexander is your hero as mine. Alexander The Great the greatest man ever.
What does this all mean if there's no one to remember the great cavalry charge at gaugamela...
Megas Alexander.....el más grande Alejandro de todos los tiempos.....
Ptolemy was probably the most sensible of the somatophylakes... He didn't get involved much in the murderous infighting after Alexander death.. He grabbed Egypt for himself and ruled their for fourty long years
Ptolemy X Alexander I Soter, (born 367/366 BC, Macedonia-died 283/282, Egypt), Macedonian general of Alexander the Great, who became ruler of Egypt (323-285 BC) and founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Then during that time of Alexander the great Macedonia-Greek For My great Alexander from Egypt and The Good Teacher Aristotle and Greek cultures stuffs in Alexandria House of Egypt in Library books
Ladies and Gentlemen here is one of Cleopatra’s ancestors. As a fellow African, I beg you my brothers and sisters. Cleopatra was of Greek descent, the last of Ptolemy dynasty.

He was viewed as a god...he never tired..we followed a man whose thirst was endless. A home he sought, a home of freedom, acceptance and love. Tyranny was the cry of the uneducated. We laughed at them; if they only walked his path as we did. We followed until our undertanding of our world ended and a new one began. Alexander's vision was larger than our dreams. The many failures he had made our successes seem unimportant. His life was tearing him apart, but he did not stop. A true leader and explorer.
Who wrote this
@@scottspencer6899 THE
ANABASIS OF ALEXANDER. I took everything I read and created my own excerpt of what Ptolemy witnessed and wrote during Alexander's campaigns. Although these words are not 100% to the letter, it does paint a picture of what Ptolemy witnessed.
One of the three greats , Gladiator, Braveheart and Alexander from my teens. Made me very impractical 😂! Became a dreamer. Wouldn't change a thing!
It was an empire not of land or gold but of the mind.
One of the best movie ever
We the macedonians from blood. We the Greeks transformed the world. We can revive again . Yes we can!!!!
Μοναδικό και ανεπανάληπτο ❤ελληνικό πνεύμα αθάνατο ❤
It takes strong men to rule, Alexander was more, he was Prometheus a friend to man.
Proud to be an Indian.... But i love this man....
Many in your nation will try to convince you that Alexander was an enemy, thats not true, Alexander was truly an anomaly in history, he did not want to force any culture upon others, Alexander wanted a single world government under one leader, no one understood his dreams, all his generals were concerned with material gains only Alexander had the vision. Yes, he did not venture further into India, if he did, he might have won, he might have lost but that doesn't change the fact that most never truly understood his perspective, his own generals conspired because they wanted a piece of his large empire for themselves, he was the conqueror of the world yet still a lonely man
My favorite movie Alexander The Great it's a legend
Best movie by far it's sad that alot of people don't see this idea
he had the most fulfilling life of all men.
Sir Tyson said that Julius Caesar cried when he came across Alexander The Great statue.
Eternal & bold Alexandros.
Amazing!
This is a short film. A good one.
Amazing.........👍👍
ALEΞANDROS WAS THE GREATEST OF ALL GREAT GREEKS AND THE PEOPLES OF ASIA CALL HIM ISKANTER AND STILL LOVE HIM AS A GOD...HOW MANY MEN CAN DO THAT,I WONDER.
Yes 💯🙌

He wasnt a greek
@@jozebutinar44 Alexandros speach to army: " My father Phillipos became Hegemon of Makedonia and rest of the Greece.."

How it must've been for those men to leave Greece and travel to faraway lands for the first time, see new cities, cultures, and people.....
If only alexander had lived to be 60, how would the world have looked...
The greatest man of all time hands down
Truth be told Alexander probably wasnt the nicest guy ever. Written sources from those times tend to over exxaggerate a ton, it's clear they want to paint him almost as a god and loved by all.
However Alexanders military and leadership cabilities cant be neglected.
Ofcourse such an idolized man doesn't exist, nor can he. But think, why is it that there is only a select few men in history who are viewed in such a way? A question that I, nor anyone living can answer.
they earn people's trust, and by that people around them gave their all to them
@@sumandas9487 Can you explain this then? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Greek_Kingdom
@@sumandas9487 Alessandro governava L'Impero. I suoi generali governavano le satrapie (province) occupate. I discendenti del generale nominato da Alessandro, hanno governato l'India per anni e anni. Si chiamavano i Regni indo-greche. Non scrivere cazzate. E non parlare di "Vittoria". Il Re indiano ha PERSO, è basta.
"wasnt the nicest guy ever", dude wtf, being a king, ruling the whole world and you expect him to be "nice"? so naive
One of the best movies ever.....
Critics didn't do it justice
ΜΕΓΑΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ Ο ΑΧΙΛΛΕΥΣ ΚΟΛΟΣΣΟΣ - Alexander The Great, the Achillean Colussus.
We break the dreams of others until our own dreams are in turn broken.
He is we call ΜΕΓΑΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ
Alejandro Magno
I LOVED IT!
Beautiful video. However I find the description of the burning of the library to be a bit misleading. We don't know when the library was destroyed. Could've been four seperate times. 1st: Caesar in 47 B.C. during the Egyptian Campaign, 2nd: Aurelian's Reconquest of the East, 3rd: The anti-Pagan riots of the 390s A.D., or the Islamic Conquest in the 600s. And we aren't really going to figure out when it was destroyed until we invent a time machine. :/
Mi película favorita además como mi nombre Alejandro 😍😍
I just love the idea of alexander
Alexander is ever greatest wealth accumulator and emperor . He is my inspiration.
He is no wealth accumulator. He barely kept anything for himself
Please please silent for the 1 min and close the eye for our Boss Alexander 💯💯 😔😔😔😔❤️❤️❤️❤️

Seleukos was the victor, not Ptolemy. He did what Alexander did until he was 80, not born a king, defeating his peers many times with inferior arms. Defeating Demetrios at Gaza, Nicanor in Persia, again Demetrios and then Antigonos in Babylonia, Stasanor in Bactria, fought and made peace with Chandragupta Maurya, defeated Antigonos, Demetrios and Pyrhos at Ipsos, then Demetrios again in Kilikia, Lysimachos at Korrupedium, only to be killed by the son of Ptolemy, the man who stole his throne in Egypt after stealing the body of Alexander, initiating the wars of the succesors. Seluekos was the true successor of Alexander, rightly named Nikator, the Victor.
Remember megalo bucephalus
