I'm surprised I had never seen your video before. What other video's have you done? This was so nicely done, while Vangelis' music was beautiful you choise so fitted Alexander's charactor, "Fortune follows the bold". Colin Farrell felt such a strong connection to him he had that tattooed acroos the top of his right shoulder. I've always loved Greek culture even as a child so your video was quite enjoyable to me.

Thanks again! I think this song is perfect for Alexander. It is powerful, even heroic. But, despite this, it’s also tragic and profound song. Like the movie itself. I really love Greek culture too. I am a historian. It's my profession :-)

While this isn't the score from the film, it certinally fits the tone of the video perfectly, and of course the immortal Freddie Mercury vocal has such emotion. Colin Farrell has the fire and passion of the real Alexander, and I think we can now see what a classic the film really is. Only the little seen Irish film Triage does he give a more dramatic performance than Alexander. Brava!!!

I'm glad you like my video :-)

Robin Lane Fox, the historical adviser on the film, wrote the most in depth history of Alexander's amazing life. So much of which was not told. I have always felt sorry that the film was so poorly accepted in the US. All the fuss about the sexual content,forgetting the mores of the time were very different then. The monumental life of the man, was the important tale. Every one involved in the film did a fine job.
