Saw the movie Alexander this weekend , and it was disappointing to say the least !,Oliver Stone has succeeded in portraying the greatest military general as a bisexual , cry baby tormented by his mommy !! The movie is pathetic and also downplays one of the major battles of Alexander's conquest against Porus.
A brilliant strategist , Alexander also had a very diplomatic plan in his expedition in that his treatment of the conquered tribes was far more humane and he managed to make the conquered tribes accept Greek civilization, and himself loved by all. Although towards the end his fellow country-men and soldiers grew tired of his seemingly endless pursuit to conquer the world .
