Pues bueno, que en esta peli Colin Farrell, que tenía en aquel tiempo 28 años, hace de Alejandro Magno. Angelina Jolie, que en aquel tiempo tenía 29 años, hace de su madre. ¡Jo, sí que se quedaban embarazados a temprana edad en aquella época! Claro, que la Jolie ya sale con sus añazos cuando el Alejandro era un chavalín... Bueno, eso.

Si por desmitificar entiendes convertir al mayor conquistador de la historia en un payasete inútil, gilipollas... en típica lacra, vamos, y decidir que el que haya conquistado medio mundo no sea importante, esta es tu película. Y si quieres batallas en las que no se ve un pijo, y de repente un estúpido filtro rojo que da arcadas, también lo es. No hay más. Bueno, sí, la cura contra el insomnio y conseguir que odies más la Historia (porque esto va en plan que tiene rigor histórico o algo asín, yo no me lo creo).

Asín que, mejor leed la letra siguiente y escuchad la canción, que tiene más calidad y argumento que la bazofia del Oliver Piedra (lo único, que no sale la Jolie haciendo de zorrón a la perfección, pero bueno).

«"My son ask for thyself another
Kingdom, for that which I leave
is too small for thee"
(King Philip of Macedonia - 339 B.C.)

Near to the east
In a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son
To Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was Alexander

At the age of nineteen
He became the Macedon King
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegian Sea
In 334 B.C.
He utterly beat the armies of Persia

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men

King Darius the third
Defeated fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria

By the Tigris river
He met King Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Susa, treasures he found
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a God amongst mortal men

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot'
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia

Hellenism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity

Marching on, marching on
The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon»
