Somewhat historically incorrect.

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2004)

I just saw the movie, and I must say that it is entertaining up to a certain point. If you have any prior knowledge of the history of Alexander the Great then I would advice against seeing this movie. For some reason Oliver Stone saw it fit to change several important parts of his life one being the death of his father.
And yes the movie contains a lot of "gay" scenes suggesting that during ancient Greece homosexuality was normal and accepted. Fact is that it was normal to have sex with young boys since it was part of becoming a man. Open show of affection and homo sexuality was however not normal between adult man.
