Name a movie with "forced diversity" that you believe would have been noticeably better had everything else stayed the same, but the diversity was removed.
Hint: There are zero, bad movies cannot be made into good ones that easily.

A meme isn't born, user, it is made. By shitposts and by IP hopping. A shitposter must know how to hurt the board he loves. It's lonely. Ask the cunnyposter. Ask the sneedposter. Ask any of them. Yea Forums is cruel. No meme can be too powerful or too beautiful without disaster befalling. They laugh when you rise too high and delete everything you've built with a ban. What threads they allow, in the end, they prune away. They make of us slaves.

Yeah, it's crazy out almost every outlandish bit in the 2004 movie actually stems from historic accounts. Of course, a lot of the accounts we have are from hundreds of years later like from Arrian and Plutarch, but still.

It's just a shame Alexander has so many flaws. Some top tier scenes, but also a ton of bullshit that was daytime-soap-tier. And I don't know why Oliver never had Alexander say "to the strongest" at the end

The film is absolute kino. It's just one of those underappreciated gems that you get all the time because of stupid critics and plebs that follow their opinion as gospel.

I don't know but it was glorious despite the reviews "I couldn't follow what was happening, it sucked"

though the original cut wasn't great. we are in the dark ages of cinema right now, there isn't enough good history to watch

Even the flashbacks are fucking kino, except maybe the mummy scenes. Still good though.

yes

It's flawed kino. There's really no way to justify the film's narrative structure of constant jumping back and forth between periods of time out of sequence, including flashbacks within flashbacks.
That and skipping good shit like Issus or the Siege of Tyre to make way for scenes of sleeping with his eunuch or snakeshit cuckoldry with Jolie and her cringey accent.

It's not a war movie though, the two battles we saw were more than enough. It was about the adventure and the friends we made along the way.

I wonder what the budget would be for a movie that included all the major battles of Alexander's campaign, let alone the runtime.

>I don't know but it was glorious despite the reviews "I couldn't follow what was happening, it sucked"
That's because your average pleb literally has the attention span of 5 minutes. But yes, the flashaback scenes are kino of the highest caliber. Val KIlmer was perfect as Philip

>It's flawed kino. There's really no way to justify the film's narrative structure of constant jumping back and forth between periods of time out of sequence, including flashbacks within flashbacks.
There is. The flashback scenes come during an important time in Alexander's later life (like him killing Cleitus which triggers the flashback of Philip introducing Cleitus to him and how Cleitus will always defend him).

Yeah, they could have used a simpler structure of - here's Alexander as a boy, here he is as a teenager and then an adult, but that would be too cliched and too fast paced because there are too few scenes of Alexander in the movie before his campaign in Persia.

Colin Farrell is one of those Irishmen who looks like a Med. It’s like having a Sino-Malaysian play a Korean.

ISKANDER! ISKANDER! ISKANDER!

keeeeeek

The phalanx was never meant to beat the enemy, it was meant to hold the enemy in place while whatever else fancy maneauvering bit the enemy in the ass.

But yes, the few times the romans did face a competent generals, like Pyrrhus, they did get beat.

In matters of costume, production design and design - yes. But the events are all over the place and mashed together. There are many narrative inaccuracies in the film.

Cassander marching with the army throughout, Gaugamela being portrayed as the first (and not the final) battle against the persians, the entire indian battle is a mishmash of Hydaspes and the siege of the Malli.

The harem scene is made up, itself being a mishmash of many other events and quotes (like the squabble between Parmenion and Alexander - which took place after Issus) etc, etc.

Eh, the phalanx is good. It's just that the Romans have a lot more soldiers than the Macedonians and all other Macedonian kingdoms did.

Did you even watch the movie? Two minutes before Darius attacks in Gaugamela Alexander had just finished listing a bunch of previous battles/sieges.

Yeah, the plot is a mess. But considering all other movies can't even get the costume, set design and production design even close to accurate the Alexander movie is unbeaten.

>ywn march from the Hellaspont to the Ganges
>ywn bed egyptian, persian, bactrian, indian, etc. QTs
>ywn go from your humble mountain village in Macedonia to the Ishtar gates and the metropolis of Babylonia
>ywn be led by the son of Amon-Zeus himself
Why even live, and die, if not for the glory of Alexander?

the main issue is the sucessor states were really shit maintaining big cavalry contingents and pretty much abandoned the combined arms principles because it had been what they saw as an unecessary expense following the diadochi wars. When they had cavalry engagements with the Romans they barely came out on top which is fucking embarassing since republic era roman cavalry was extremely poor. Hence the phalanx was forced to pursue the enemy force, often over broken ground, and then lost cohesion and got cut to ribbons.

>tfw all we're stuck with now are 300/clash of the titans and other DUDEBRO EPIC inspired productions
It's fucking depressing man.

On the bright side
>ywn die in a pointless death march across the Gedrosian desert because Zeus Ammon has decided to kill you all off.

>muh diadochi had no cavalry
Are you dumb? The Ptolemies had a decent cavalry contingent while the Seleucids had a gigantic cavalry force of lancers and cataphracts. In fact, at Magnesia the Seleucid cavalry flank led by Antiochus III routed an entire legion with a single frontal charge.

The Roman cavalry during the early Republic was not poor either, they were skilled cavalry men who could fight the best cavalry that all other nations could offer. I'm pretty sure this dumb idea that Roman cavalry is bad stems from Hannibal having a gigantic force of Numidian cavalry that greatly outnumbered the Roman cavalry they faced. If you only have several hundred mounted soldiers then the opposing side with a few thousand will always win.

is the Netflix version the extended or the regular??

Ultimate cut.

the idea that Roman cavalry was poor comes from Roman sources, the likes of Pliny, Plutarch and Caesar all attest to this. It's not a fault of the Romans, they lived in terrain ill suited for cavalry, had not had the usual noble contingent and horse breeding found in other nations being strictly an urban peoples and their nobles didn't have professional training as cavalrymen as was traditional in other places. By comparison, the macedonian and thessalian cavalry of Alexander was beating the absolute most elite and infamous cavalry of the ancient world while outnumbered. Roman cavalry never achieved anything close to such success in the field, the companion and thessalian cavalry is without a doubt the best cavalry force Europe has ever produced.

Βασεδ

>citing accounts from the late republic/empire
Stop being retarded, the early/middle republican Roman cavalry performed very well, you just need to look at the Pyrrhic and Macedonian wars where the Roman and allied Italian cavalry fought Macedonian/Epeirote cavalry contingents to a draw. The Roman nobility itself were good cavalry but didn't provide a large number, thankfully the other Italic peoples proved more numbers.

*provided.

Napoleon was conquering and invading countries that he knew very well, nothing mysterious about them

Alexander's expansion was magical in a way. He was finding so many cultures, so many people that he never could have imagined. He knew nothing of India, he kept pushing east and east and in the end his eyes looked in the horizon and saw even more land that he would never be able to conquer

Nothing compares. It truly was a quest to the end of the world.

"NEET", they yell so easily. I laugh. No NEET ever shitposted so much. And what do they know of the board, these newfags? Before /alexander/posting there was capeshit, and after... all was possible. There was suddenly a sense that Yea Forums could be ruled by kino...and be better for all.

Women will never understand this...

Napoleon kept France alive by wining the wars that foreign powers had declared on France to restore the monarchy while the Jacobins were spreading The Terror in France
then he restored order and rule of law to France and continued to defeat the agressor coalitions and spreading the Napoleonic Code and destorying the remnants of Feudalism in Europe
Napoleon did more to spread the ideals of the Revolution than any of the revolutionaries that lusted only for power and achieved nothing but chaos mass murder
most of the countries in the World today used some version of the Napoleonic Code

Why is this movie so damn perfect for shitposting?

The monologues and speeches have a good melody to them.

>Siege of Tyre
i wish they had shown this

This, I find a lot of the movie overly dull and I skip past much of it, but then there are lots of terrific scenes and dialogue as well.
Favorite part is the scene where Alex kills Cleitus. It's so perfect how it starts off as a jovial celebration and then slowly and uneasily morphs into a very high-tension standoff.
Speaking of which, did anyone screencap the alex/cleitus posts from that other thread?

CRAZY MONKEY TRIBES

The interesting thing here is that they portray pooinloo land as being this vast jungle, but that part of india is way further away in the southern bit. The parts they were in was hills, grasslands, plains, deserts, etc.

But still, I'm okay with the change for artistic reasons because it visually symbolizes how Alexander is out of his element and too far off into the unknown during the India segment.

the fucking dialogue in this is fantastic. the confrontation between Phillip and Alexander at the wedding party or whatever is awesome
