Alexander the Great Movie

Today in class we watched a movie about Alexander the Great. It was the war with the Persians and the Macedonians. There was a lot of blood. Some of it was really gross. It was cool to look at the phalanx in action. We had always talked about it in class but i had never seen it actually happen in war. The movie also showed a little boy who was trained for the army and he got his first horse. He learned how to ride it. His village men and parents were all very happy for him.
