HI Marcus, I have to agree with you, while I hate it on one hand, there are things about it that I actually like and enjoy on the other hand. I don't believe that Colin is Alexander at all, which is something that Stone tries to say, but I disagree with him on that, but Colin does at least take the script and create an image of Stone's desire. Some of Stone's attitudes I actually like to see dramatized as it makes me think how it really was in contrast to his fantasy. So I am both for and against this movie...one, it is not my idea of how a good movie should be presented about Alexander but it is a good way of showing and exposing Stone's own interpretation. That part I like!
