While I enjoyed the film, Alexander, I prefer the historical Alexander and Hephaistion, et al. to the Hollywood version. Although I have to admit I have many different versions of the film and several books and postcards that were put out to commemorate it. I understand Mr. Stone is releasing another version of the film, I hope he includes the beautiful balcony scene between Alexander and Hephaistion, but unedited, the whole thing. It is really lovely.
