Great drama: Nature - history - politics - humanity - all in one package.

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2005)

Great film! Almost like going to India yourself I guess. And Greece and various other places. Sad to say, I haven't been to any of them. My teacher thought the title character was played by Brad Pitt, so that's a recommendation for the ladies.
I like the scene where they retaliate against a flock of monkeys thinking that they are human. It puts the advantages of modern age zoology into perspective: Man is no monkey. And vice versa.
The film gets around the Greek angle to human sexuality rather smoothly. Angelina Jolie plays the mother of Alexander and she is rather dominating. No general excuse for swinging both ways, but you get to see it coming from early on.
