Palace of Persia

Rating: 6/10 (23 October 2005)

The biggest struggle in my head after watching this movie:
History has it that when Alexander conquered Persia, he set the grand Palace of Persia on fire and nothing remained of it except for stones... as you can clearly see this today, judging by the remains of what is called " Takhte Jamshid " - Jamshid's Thrown - which is located near Shiraz. That was what I was expecting to see every minute for the first half of the movie. Maybe Oliver Stone couldn't afford it huh?! :D But the whole setting on fire thing is totally against the character which is presented as Alexander. U've watched it, would u believe he has done such a thing?!
The other thing which is banging against the walls of my head is all the gay stuff going on in the movie. Was it really necessary? There was also a "penis shot" which I can't figure out what good does it do to the story.
Anyways I watched it! But I wouldn't watch it twice.
