Oliver Stone: Advancing the art of film
Amazon’s own review of the director’s cut of Oliver Stone’s Alexander (the worst major movie ever?) includes the following note:
In Stone’s final cut, epic battles remain chaotic (although Alexander’s strategy is somewhat easier to follow, with on-screen titles indicating left, right, and center during his army’s greatest maneuvers)…
Yes, those are the sort of advanced techniques they just don’t teach you in film school.
