DescriptionIn 2004, Oliver Stone released his epic, Alexander, a film about the life of the conqueror Alexander the Great. This controversial film crafted a modern interpretation of the historical Alexander that formed an image in the minds of audiences. This is one of many adaptations dealing with Alexander yet this image created a question of historical accuracy in movies and how these images can affect the public view of the historical record. For Alexander, he has had varied adaptations from animated to live action movies as well as several drama series. In order to understand how historical films can affect his historical image; it is important to develop an understanding of these adaptations. Only through the development of the analysis of these films and series can one understand the impact of these new images on the historical ones. For Alexander he has influenced both Eastern and Western culture so to fully understand these images it will be important to see them from every angle and viewpoint. This will be an attempt to see how Alexander’s representations in film directly affect how people view historical records and further affect the future studies of this historical events and figures.
