Dad rented Alexander. Mmmm. I had been interested in seeing it for JRM (who only had a small part) but oh it was so much more...most importantly, the boy-love ~_^ which is illustrated in these quotes



Hephaistion: [dying] I worry for you without me.
Alexander: [crying] I am nothing without you.

Olympias: You will be nineteen this summer and the girls already say you don't like them, you like Hephaistion more. I understand it is natural for a young man.
Alexander: Hephaistion loves me for who I am, not what.
Olympias: [laughs] Loves?
[a little worried]
Olympias: Loves?

Alexander: It is you I love, Hephaistion. No other.
Hephaistion: You're everything I care for and by the sweet breath of Aphrodite I'm so jealous of losing you to this world you want so badly.
Alexander: You'll never lose me Hephaistion. I'll be with you always till the end.

Hephaistion: I found it in Egypt
[showing Alexander a ring]
Hephaistion: The man who sold it to me said it came from a time when man worshipped sun and stars. I'll always think of you as the sun, Alexander and I pray your dream will shine on all men. I wish you a son.
[puts the ring on Alexander's wedding finger]
Alexander: You're a great man.
Hephaistion: Many will love you, Alexander, but none so pure and deep...
[enter Roxane and exit Hephaistion]
Roxane: You...
[seeing the ring]
Roxane: love him.
Alexander: He is Hephaistion... there are many differant ways to love. Roxane, come.

OMG. So, I was worried that this film would go all Hollywood and completely ignore Hephaistion and Alexander's relationship.

Apperantly they did not at all...I must see this film. Heee.

I was worried about it too. I've heard that it was like I saw it in theaters, but that on the 'normal' dvd release some of the homosexual content was cut. Luckily dad rented the director's cut ~_^

I'll get the d-cut then, definitly ; )

I definitely need to see that!
