Facts!!!

I am very upset of the way movie Alexander is made. First of all, Alexander was just a psycho sadist maniac that wanted to prove he could defeat the greatest empire of his time.He was also envious toward our great wisdom and knowledge that he had discovered earlier through teachers like Aristotle which themselves developed most of their ideologies from Zoroastrian Magi's of Persia (something that I call Plagiarism!)
There are the following points that I find to be very biased and discriminatory in this movie:
1- They have chosen a half-black lady to be the Persian Princess! Didn't we have enough qualified persian ladies in US, especially in LA area that could possibly play in this role? 2-Most of the persians in this movie look like Mexican Maya and Aztec tribes to me.Couldn't they care more in representing a close resemblance to how a persian would have or should look like? 3- Since when Greeks and especially Alexander were Blond and white with tiny noses? Even Angelina Jolie who normally has darker hair color and complexion is a blond Greek ! Do they try to prove that Greeks were western and therefore white and we were black and dark and arab looking form the beginning? 4-In my opinion the movie is all about how great and courageous Alexander was in contrast with a dumb cruel Dariush the Persian king! They try to show how great and essential it was that they beat such a nasty barbaric empire and saved the western civilization as a result! Even their historians acknowledge that Greek and western philosophy and civilization could not be if the eastern influence and especially the Zoroastrian Persian one is not regarded.So Alexander in fact did do a huge favor to the Greeks and later on to the western world by mixing Greece and Persia and adopting and transforming the Persian civilization into their own- of course without even giving any credit to us-at least not in this movie!
