actually i found the movie interesting.. the movie is from a very diff point of view.. i.e if you are sick of reading the history books.. the greeks supported homosexuality.... if Alexander chose to have a male partner...it was nothing wrong then... it's history... call him gay .. call him a fag.. but he conquered half of the world didn't he.. the way he is portrayed.. i'd say is great. except for the gay part.... i mean like c'mon can a person who conquered half the world not be emotional .. can he not cry for his own sake.. everyone here has this pic of the great in their head to be a person with no emotions.. hello wake up.. everyone cries once in a while.. gladiator cried too for his wife and child... aint nothing wrong with that... i am not saying the movie was great.. i'd give it a B rating. but i think it was great to see alexander from a diff light.. and yes the movie was confusing at times.. but then when wasn't history confusing???
