Alexander

























Plot Synopsis: Conquering 90% of the known world by the age of 25, Alexander the Great (Farrell) led his armies through 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years. Coming out of tiny Macedonia, Alexander led his armies against the mighty Persian Empire, drove west to Egypt, and finally made his way east to India. This film will concentrate on those eight years of battles, as well as his relationship with his boyhood friend and battle mate, Hephaestion. Alexander died young, of illness, at 33. Alexander's conquests paved the way for the spread of Greek culture (facilitating the spread of Christianity centuries later), and removed many of the obstacles that might have prevented the expansion of the Roman Empire. In other words, the world we know today might never have been if not for Alexander's bloody, yet unifying, conquest.

Mein Bruder Kain

Posted by Picasa
Carter Nix ist ein angesehener Psychologe. Auch seine Rolle als Ehemann und Vater nimmt er ernst. Letztere nimmt gar obsessive Züge an. Doch anstatt sich um die gemeinsame Tochter zu kümmern, nimmt Ehefrau Jenny die Affäre mit ihrem ehemaligen Liebhaber wieder auf. Dies verursacht bei Carter eine schwere Persönlichkeitsspaltung, deren Grundlage bereits in seiner Kindheit gelegt wurde, als sein Vater, ein diskreditierter Psychologe, ihn zu psychologischen Experimenten missbrauchte. Fortan hat Carter sein Handeln nicht mehr unter Kontrolle. Und sein Alter Ego ist, wie der Filmtitel schon andeutet, böse.

Der Reiter auf dem weißen Pferd
Und ich sah den Himmel aufgetan; und siehe, ein weißes Pferd. Und der darauf saß, hieß:Treu und Wahrhaftig, und er richtet und kämpft cmit Gerechtigkeit.Und seine Augen sind wie eine Feuerflamme, und auf seinem Haupt sind viele Kronen; und er trug einen Namen geschrieben, den niemand kannte als er selbst. Und er war angetan mit einem Gewand,das mit Blut getränkt war, und sein Name ist: Das Wort Gottes. Und ihm folgte das Heer des Himmels auf weißen Pferden, angetan mit weißem, reinem Leinen.Und aus seinem Munde ging ein scharfes Schwert, daß er damit die Völker schlage; und er wird sie regieren mit eisernem Stabe; und er tritt die Kelter, voll vom Wein des grimmigen Zornes Gottes, des Allmächtigen, und trägt einen Namen geschrieben auf seinem Gewand und auf seiner Hüfte:
König aller Könige und Herr aller Herren.
