One of the best movies in times.

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2005)

This is certainly the most underestimated movie in all times.
First I saw the rating and thought that it's another history/mythology movie that is wasted ( like Troy ). But I read the reviews about it and decided I should see it, and thanks for that. Now I'm joining to those who are praising the movie.
My friends that saw the movie complained about over homosexual reference. In my opinion the movie sets everything in proportion. There is nothing explicit, no porno. It's just the director trying to make us see the real story about Alexander. What person he was, whom he loved, what did he tried to achieve? And I think he succeeded. When the movie was over I could tell that this is how it was for real.
The battle scenes, though short, are great. Specially the view of the battle field from an eye of an eagle. All the views were magnificent: the desert,the tropical Indian forest, snow mountains... The only movie that can be compared over the views with Alexander is Hero. The acting was superb. I can hardly see anyone else instead of Colin Farrel as Alexander. I can continue like this about everything the dialogs, costumes, score... I was paralyzed when I saw it.
This is definitely the best movie for Oliver Stone, and one of the best in all times. And for those who despised it just because of the homosexual reference, think that this is probably close to true story of Alexander. I'm sure none would like the battle with the Ellefant to be omitted.
