7. Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC, and became the ruler of Macedon, an ancient Greek Kingdom. He lived an epic life, with Aristotle as his personal tutor until age 16, and becoming king at age 20. An explorer at heart, Alexander vowed to find “the end of the world”. Unfortunately, Hollywood has done a terrible job of depicting his life story. The 2004 adaptation called Alexander was actually so bad, there was almost a lawsuit against director Oliver Stone and Warner Brothers for passing off that movie as being anything close to reality. In the years following the film, they released multiple director’s cuts to try to fix the problems with the inaccuracies. Because of this, future directors have tried to tread more carefully when depicting historic events.
