From the movie Alexander directed by Ridley Scott.
Not much to analyze. Just a beautiful scene with epic music by Vangelis.
The story goes they were having problems taming this big powerful horse. A clever young Alexander figured out that the horse was afraid of its own shadow, and won the horse by taming it. He named it Bucephalus (meaning ox-head). Bucephalus later became a charger.
and for those keeping track at home. A shadow refers to a concept!!!!
This movie also had an excellent reenactment of the Battle of Gaugamela
where Alexander came up with a brilliant strategy to outflank Darius.
The battle is still studied in military academies.
I thought the rest of the movie sucked, but it was worth it for those two scenes.
