Oliver Rock's There aren't many directors daring to approach such complex stories that events have the world for centuries to come. Simply no thing how one builds the motion picture, which elements one emphasizes or leaves out, what kind of liberties one takes to make a sure point or which of the numerous sources ane chooses every bit a ground for ones ain work � many people will criticize the decisions and thus the movie or even turn down it completely. I cannot please everyone.
Oliver Rock on "Alexander Revisited" Dear Viewer, Why a tertiary version of Alexander? The best answer I tin manage is, I couldn�t get it out of my system. Information technology�s a picture that�s been haunting me since the theatrical version kickoff appeared in Nov 2004 in the U.S., followed past a Director�south Cut on DVD in July 2005. But neither version was complete. It wasn�t an issue of right or incorrect, or expert or bad, but, like an experiment, one of trial and fault. I believe this version at present (3 � hours) is my clearest interpretation of Alexander�s incredible life. For those who didn�t appreciate the original, rest assured this is my concluding pass, as there is no more than footage to be found. And for those of you who did like it, please share with me my passion for �Alexander�, every sublime and bad-mannered pixel of it. [...] And I withal believe -- �Fortune favors the assuming�. Sincerely Yours, Oliver Stone
Oliver Stone nails the issue with i single sentence of Male monarch Phillip at the end of the cave scene where he shows young Alexander the gods and heroes of Greece and their legendary deportment.
And while Alexander is lead out of the dark cave into the light to epically march into Babylon there are still viewers nitpicking on Colin Farrells hair, missing key sequences and Alexanders sexual orientation.
From the first script in 1996 to the actual motion picture in 2003 many planned and written scenes have been abandoned as being too lengthy and/or expensive. Oliver Rock makes his movies for the big screen and he never wanted to depict Alexanders life as accurately equally possible equally a mini series for television set. No matter how much fourth dimension he would have been granted to make the movie in the end, he ever knew that he would never be able to show information technology all. Selections were needed. The Terminal Cut now runs three and a one-half hours and that is much every bit it gets. Some things, similar the siege of Tyros, he wanted to shoot simply couldn't. Other things, similar the oracle of Siwa, the march through the desert and the boxing of Chaeronea were present in early scripts but never shot.
Also the intrigues of the generals, especially after the conquering of Asia, have been shortened and some subplots emphasizing on their interests and influence on Alexander were never shot. Some of it is vaguely nowadays in all versions and many never quite finished topics are recognizable in the DC and FC a fleck better the in the Theatrical Version and provide grounds for speculations about Alexanders death. Yet, Stone admits that it is merely an error on the scripts behalf that some subplots are never brought to a articulate end.
In August 2005 Stone released a Director's Cut in the United states of america and some other countries that was oddly enough fifty-fifty shorter than the Theatrical version, despite the fact that Stone never found much sympathy for the demands of American cinemas for a version shorter than 3 hours.
If sure sites are to be believes, there isn't much difference betwixt the Theatrical version and the DC. Somehow, it is all the same, mainly because Stone did non put in whatsoever new scenes, save for an extension of an already existing scene and a short insertion from Aristotle. Notwithstanding, he did alter the movies structure; for example, the battle of Gaugamela is at present seen earlier. Also, the movie is a fleck more fast-paced since some scenes take been trimmed downward and many dialogue details have been changed, something 1 most likely only notices if i knows both versions. A good example is Alexander being taught by Aristotle, every bit shown in the report. The Director's Cut is a bit clearer than the Theatrical Version, the structure is a chip more demanding and the opening is meliorate designed. It is birthday better than the Theatrical Version but not obligatory if you lot already own it. Especially with the Final Cut being released and containing many changes of he DC as well. The Director'due south Cut is likewise the version I would recommend if you lot take not come across the motion picture at all yet. I will explain later why. The FC is the tertiary version in 2 and a half years. How this came to be, Oliver Rock explains in a letter to the DVD buyers (run into in a higher place). Since 1996 Alexander has kept him upwards at night and for Rock the whole affair was simply not finished with just the Theatrical version and the Director's Cut.
For the Final cutting Stone took practically everything that was kept on picture show during the shooting. In that location were a few moments exclusive to the Theatrical Version but those are but missing because they overlap with events in the Final Cutting. When the 45 minutes longer final Cut was announced fans across the internet were wondering which events from Alexanders life had been added to the film, and those who did not enjoy the Theatrical Version hoped the extensions would make the moving-picture show improve. But those who have seen the Final Cutting were in for a surprise. None of the numerous extensions provide new settings or stages in Alexanders life. The only true large extensions concerns Alexanders servant Bagaos. The homoerotic undertones were already in the Theatrical Version besides much for many viewers. In the terminal Cut, we now become to know the servants name, he is noticed amid many cute women by Alexander (much to Hephaistions regret), seemingly dances only for Alexander in Bharat and even shares a bed with him.
Apart from Bagaos the Final Cutting simply offers more than detailed characterizations, deepening of the characters relations to each other and short impressions of Alexanders life � often only every bit a commentary from the Off by Ptolemaios. On top of that, a good for you dozen of tearing scenes accept been re-integrated into the boxing scenes that presumably had to to be cut for the Theatrical release, for they are a practiced bargain more brutal than we are used from the rest of the movie. The almost obvious change is once again the structure of the movie. The battle of Gaugamela has been moved towards the beginning again (every bit planned in an early version of the script) and is seen even before Alexanders childhood and adolescence. The events in Bactria have been reassembled equally well. Offset we see the wedding with Roxane, then the picture jumps dorsum to the discussion with the generals and the celebration before that where Alexander meets and falls in love with Roxane before the movie jumps back to the wedding nighttime. All other changes from the DC are present in the FC as well. The Final Cut volition remain Oliver Stones last version of the film. Or so he says, merely like he says that, given the chance to start over he would take presented the FC on the big screen right away.
Now, is the Final cutting the best version of the picture show? In my opinion it is, and most people who have enjoyed the Theatrical version will certainly agree. It'southward not "much" just the extended running fourth dimension does the moving picture adept. However, those who already idea the Theatrical Version too long will regret to hear that now there passes fifty-fifty more than time between the two battles. Those who did not relish Alexanders sex life earlier volition not be happy either. All things considered, nobody who did non like the Theatrical Version is likely to change his mind over the Final Cutting. And even if Oliver Stone disagrees, I don't think that the Final Cut should be ones first version to scout � especially when not acquainted with Alexanders life. Showing the manic warlord early in the Terminal Cutting and the influences and motives that accept fabricated Alexander what he was is quite interesting on an artistic level � especially when one already knows the other versions � but not really suitable for the big audience. Those who don't know the motion picture at all should therefore watch the DC first. Iii versions of the same movie certainly raise the suspicion that there is some major cash cow milking going on. Only personally I recollect that it is quite interesting for fans to come across the iii different versions. Also, the two subsequently versions were never very expensive or beefed up with extravagant packaging in guild to announced fancier than need exist. The Final Cutting was obtainable for most $xiii and even included a costless ticket for the movie The censorship reports In that location are two reports. I comparing the Theatrical Version to the Director's cutting and 1 comparing the Theatrical version to the Final Cut. Since the reports were made with some time betwixt them the structure is somewhat dissimilar. Likewise, further down on this site the structure and scene order of the three versions is compared since they differ significantly. Theatrical Version:

Then follows Alexander's announcement of war against the Persian sovereign Dareios.
Theatrical Version
The transitions to the next scene are different for both versions: The Theatrical Version now shows Alexander's babyhood, while the Terminal Cut cuts to the Battle of Gaugamela. Preparations for the Battle When Alexander watches both armies from a afar hill, Ptolemaios comments information technology differently. In the Final Cut he also mentions that this run into of E and Due west will decisive for the world they nosotros knew it. The Final Cut also offers two new pictures.
Just before the motion picture cuts to the policy meeting, the Theatrical Version shows the old Ptolemaios.
In the Final Cut y'all instead see the meeples. Apparently, the Theatrical Version wants to clarify who narrates this flashback. Just since this is rather unnecessary, the Last Cut abandons this.
There are several extensions and re-cuts of the scenes within the tent during the policy meeting. While many of the scenes were deleted for the Director's Cutting, the dialogues are almost identical for both the Theatrical Version and the Final Cutting. Withal, the Final Cutting offers an additional scene that could already be seen in the Direcotr's Cutting. Shortly after Alexander explained how he wants to kill Dareios, Parmenion complains about Alexander's plan and says that horsemen have never e'er been used to intermission through a crowd of infantry.

In the Final Cut, the unfortunate person goes on and says that the human is even too stingy to purchase some clothes of good quality. Alexander then says that yous tin can even go to state of war completely naked.
Equally soon equally Alexander and Hephaistion leave, Pharnakes tells the rebellious boy that he tomorrow will exist in the forefront. Suddenly, the male child feels pitiful for his insolences.
Battle of Gaugamela Alexander speaks about the magnificent war chariots, the terrific horses, and the mighty weapons of their opponents which won't do whatsoever good since they are used by slaves. During his speech, you run across Pharnakes and the young soldier who insulted him. The poor boy is non in the forefront but still in one of the first few rows. He's then scared that he pisses his pants. Pharnakes sees information technology but doesn't sympathise with him at all.
After he admits, that many soldiers are going to die today, Alexander goes on talking. He praises this death, calling it courage and a cede for their homeland. The oversupply clamors.

Culling footage:
Some scenes of the wrestling-training were extended, shortened or replaced with alternative takes.
The panning shot from the mountains to Aristotle's lessons begins earlier in the Theatrical Version.
The following scene was heavily re-cut and the lessons grade was reorganized. In the Theatrical Version the scene begins with elucidations about a seaway via Republic of india, the end of the earth and the Nile back to Greece. Alexander then asks about each of these areas before one of the other pupils raises his manus to get to know more near the Persians (which actually shouldn't be a function of the lesson of that day). Only in the Final Cut Aristotle says that the Persians are so wicked that they actually desexualize little boys for their own sexual pleasure. In the Final Cut, the scene begins with the pupil's question about the Persians - happening before the explanation of the seaway and Alexander's question almost these areas. In the Last Cut there's a new scene where Hephaistion asks Aristoteles, if the love of a man towards some other man is equivalent to the love of a man towards a adult female. Aristotle decidedly denies it, since women are always slaves of their passion. Truthful, there are some exceptions similar Athena (goddess of knowledge and war). And then Aristotle reemphasizes the importance of living according to these ideals - after all, these immature men represent Greek's future.
While parts of the scenes are identical in both versions, there (in the Final Cutting) are small differences (besides these two extended scenes), peculiarly because of the continuity. Anyhow, the order of the scenes in the Last Cut is surperior, since it puts more than accent on Alexander than the other student (whose comment in the Theatrical Version is annotated by Alexander with a smile). Also, Alexander in the Last Cut is emphatic about the fact that conquering the East was his begetter's desire. And later on the teacher said that the Eastward destroyed the dreams of many men, Alexander only in the Final Cut replies that it is absolutely desirable to conquer the Eastward (only as it is told by the myths). Aristotle abandons withholding Alexander'southward euphoria and says that he can't teach him to be careful with what yous dream of and wish for; he can only warn him.

The scene with Philipp and Alexander inside the caves was cut differently for both versions - over again the Final Cut offers an extended version. In the Theatrical Version we commencement see Philipp and Achilles, then Prometeus, �dipus, Madea and finally Hercules. In the Final Cut we start run into Prometeus and �dipus, so nosotros see Jason earlier we see Madea, and then finally follow Achilles and Herakles. At the end of the scene you lot become some data about Zeus and the titans, who in the Director'southward Cut are mentioned at the beginning of the scene (there, yous get fifty-fifty more data virtually Zeus).

The scene with the harem was recut and extended for the Final Cut.

Alexander notices a younger man in the crowd. He approaches him, which is realized past one of the eunuchs who so goes to the man to innovate him to Alexander. The fellow is Bagaos, one of Dareios' personal servants. Alexander seems to accept a fancy for the young man which is also noticed by Hephaistion in the background, much to his discomfort. Alexander inquires after Bagaos' homeladn and if he plans to render dwelling. Bagaos denies information technology, since his family is dead anyway. He says that he would be pleased to stay with Alexander. Alexander turns to his men (most of them enjoy themselves with the women) and says that anybody in this room (regardless of whether a lady of the harem or an eunuch) has the choice to get abode if he/she wants to. Ptolemaios lets up on his new "girlfriend" and jocularly shouts to his men, that Alexander finally lets them go home. Everybody laughs and jestingly swoops downwardly on Alexander to cause a fiddling wrangling. While the men still enjoy the harem-ladies' company, princess Stateira appears in the background. Merdicus is non used to that amount of wantonness.

Olympias again makes it clear that Zeus is Alexander'due south real father. Alexander grabs his mother and tells her that he won't exercise anything about his male parent.
