Okay.........who's seen 'Alexander the Great'? It's already been pronounced a flop and the critics are saying it's because of the >>gasp<< suggestive homosexual conduct; that his sexuality is not an important issue in his life.
Now, I know that Alexander had a boyhood friend named Hephaestion, who grew up to be his lover. Why is that not important to his life story? The Evangelicals are going crazy yet again over this. I don't think that portraying Alexander as a man who loved another man is "shoving" anything down the public's throat. If people today had studied in school, they'd already know about it. Duhhh! Most people don't even know who Alexander the Great was. Prolly think he's a Smackdown Wrestler :-/ (And purely from a droolworthy standpoint.....Jared Leto plays Hephaestion) Read Mary Renault's The Persian Boy; the story is beautiful.
There's another movie coming out soon called Brokeback Mountain from a short story by Annie Proulx. She wrote The Shipping News. Anyway, it's about two American cowboys in the 60's who fall in love; picture Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. I guess this will bite the dust too because people just can't accept that love just happens.
Just me rambling after listening to people condemn what they will never even try to understand.....
