" "Some of the suits at Warner Bros. think that the movie-going public just isn't ready to see that. ... There's some pretty heated arguments going on over it." Alexander is depicted as a bisexual in the film, which also includes heterosexual love scenes involving the title character."
that's SO american and so hypocritical! "isn't ready to see that". duhn! well what?! do they want to make a historically acurate movie or not? and again we are caught in the dumbass labelling scheme.. "Alexander is depicted as a bisexual" 'depicted' my ass! and what the hell should he be "depicted" like when bisexuality was pretty much the "norm" of the era?! i bet if they were making a movie about Sparta, it would show a bunch of womanizing mucho-men in a war frenzy when in fact they had only same-sex contact up to a certain age.. *rollseyes*
