Great Movie

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2004)

Somehow I feel it is my duty to combat the ignorance of the world. Having read many "user reviews" on this site and yahoo, I am truly shocked at rampant anti-gay remarks. Consult a historian... Alexander was bisexual. It is a fact that there was an intimate relationship between Hephaistion and Alexander. Let the Greeks sue whom they wish. In fact, Alexander was not Greek. He was Macedonian. This movie is more accurate and true to the story than I thought it would be. People are basing their opinions on their homophobias. The acting was good, the story was great, and the direction...wonderful. True to his form, Stone focuses on the Alexander as a person. His conquest and relentless drive had more to do with this unhealthy relationship with his parents than any lust for more power. If you want an entertaining way to learn about Alexander the Great, then go watch this movie.
