Alexander is far and away the best film ofOliver Stone. It is the most personal, the most philosophical and the most animal of its work. In many ways, it is one of the film’s most couillus of this flat decade. Therefore, one of the most beaten. The bruises are still visible on the skin of the artist, the filmmaker who was once a hot head. Wall Street is one big bruise.

It is recognized fast enough in Oliver Stone’s taste for the dramatic, even defining himself as a dramatist. It seeks to endow his characters with the complexity shakespearean who can make them unforgettable. The problem is that he sacrifices himself to the mode of a pace narrative disheveled, wheeling and counter-productive.
Has this mode of “quickly, quickly, quickly !” adds to the banter boring traders and the display routine of their transactions endless. Rather than develop the humanity of his characters, and Stone, which however doesn’t hesitate to match the intimate life of Michael Douglas to that of Gordon Gekko, going on a crazy amount of time to dissect the workings of the machinery ruthless named Wall Street. This pedagogical exercise is moving away from the mission of the dramatist. It is the mission of the investigative journalist.
The film is sad. The plans on the skyscrapers of New York are sad. Even the poster is a sad replica of the one of The Devil’s advocate. The inventive Polish industry from the view of cinema is not passed through it. It is in the torpor without judgment. Among the “name” actors, only Shia LaBeouf the apprentice gives the impression of wanting to kick ass to this gloomy funeral. The message of the Stone is clear : money is boring. Why give him such a high importance ? Message promising which unfortunately is not followed in practice by a good shake, animal, therapeutic, sensual. The film is cold and only cold, it was not the exuberance of the vital that was Alexander. This is a documentary of a cold.
It is hoped thatOliver Stone will of the beatings he has taken in 2005 for his exploration of the Ancient times.
