I really liked this movie. It drew me in and spun a world for me. I love Alexander and Hephaiston. I think they might be one of the greatest couples of all time.
The movie was beautiful, if a bit bloody in the battles. The female characters were strong, not fainting violet females.
Homosexuality was not an issue at that time in our culture and it is shown so very openly and elegantly. At one point in the movie, Alexander celebrates by giving dowries to all of the unmarried women with the army, all of them, and one of his men shouts out, "And what about the boyfriends!"
I highly recommend you see it.
