Time Periods in the Alexander Revisited - The Final Cut Movie

 

Instead of showing a chronological series of events dealing with Alexander and his family, cohorts and others -- the movie tended to go back and forth in time periods. Since Alexander conquests were tied to his age, you may find yourself calculating how old he is in certain scenes. This will not be difficult to do, since a much younger Alexander is performed by actors who were the age Alexander was when certain events happened.
