An excellent film!

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2005)

I have read a lot of bad comments on the movie Alexander, and I find it strange. Of course opinions of movies is subjective to the viewer, but I couldn't believe so many people did not like this film. Anyway, I felt the acting was miraculous! Colin Farrell is Alexander, I think he proved that. I think Oliver Stone depicted the relationship between Hephaistion and Alexander tastefully. I've heard a few people say the film was nothing short of gay porn! Were they watching the same movie I was. That I can remember, Alexander only kisses one male in the film and the rest of the Bisexuality was depicted with glances and insinuations of relationships. This is the part that I feel Oliver Stone depicted tastefully. Angelina Jolie did an excellent job as Olympias. THe only complaint that I have about this film is that the narrating jumped around a lot and I feel that some of the scenes could have been kept in sequence to tell the story more clearly. But other than that, I thought it was brilliant.
