Hi FolksI am beggining to think that this movie will do more harmto the memory and legacy of Alexander than anything else.I am hearing headlines that groups are threatening to sue Stoner for portraying Alexander as Bi Sexual.What ever is or is not in this film its the sexual issue that will overshadow the rest,, I for one always believed what Alexander did with his sex life was up to him and private, it had nothing to do with his genious his achievements or even his thinking.It is my suspicion that for his own personal agenda Stone may have had controversy in mind all along,, For me the sad thing is that here we had a small opportunity just to have on film a small part of Alexanders life and achievements,,, Its been argued and debated between us the more important issues Stone did leave out,,, Issus,Granicus,Tyre and many more.Alas folks I believe that it will only be remembered for what was Alexanders personal life his assumed bisexuality.I think I can be certain he will be mocked and somehow ridiculed,,, Just wait for the jokes and the flipent remarks, I know you will probably disagree with me and say im talking silly but just watch this space its a great shame.Personaly if someone is intersted in someones sexual habits they should read more detailed and come to an educated understanding of this.Just remember the majority of viewers will not have the intelligence to work it out all they will do is ridicule will homo phobic wise cracks.RegardsKenny
