Changes

The film <i>Alexander</i> never gained great popularity in the United States at the time of its release, relative to the major cast of well known actors, but since has gained greater popularity. The film focuses on what it considers key events in the time of Alexander, but also contributes many 20th and 21st centuries themes of individual freedom in depicting Alexander's ventures into Asia. Such coupling of these modern ideals is probably fanciful. Although to historians the film has a lot of key inaccuracies, the film does inform as well as entertain and many regarding some of the key events, such as in Alexander's life, including his rise to power, his attempt to unify the Greek and Persian worlds, did happen. This was borne by the key battles, and his marriages to foreign wives he marries as well his actions.
