I do not have anything against sexuality of any kind. My problem is if Stone is going to do gay porn go all the way...that way we can relegate it to the hell where sexual preoccupation representing itself as biography or even as the "idea" of the biographic belongs.
The same place as Bob (too much chest hair) Guccione's "Caligula" is...the annals of complete crap hood.
I will say the battle scenes and much of the cinematography are well done.
But where is the burning of Persepolis. That was a major center-point of Alexander's life. Both the rashness of it and the deep regret he had later.
And what about his re-establishing a great library in Egypt.
And what was all that jungle stuff in India. Did stone have stuff left over from his Vietnam sets. The battle for the Indus valley was in the river practically and the campaign was in the area of India that is mainly Pakistan and the northern deserts.
