Author has written 30 stories for Alexander. *Thanks to all of you who take the time to read my stories, but most especially to those of you who live in countries where there is government censorship of the Internet. I applaud your individuality and courage, and respect your desire for freedom to live your lives as you chose. www.allout.org 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. | |||||||
