"...WHAT LITTLE WE DO KNOW IS HIGHLY CONTENTIOUS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SHE WAS SOMEONE WHO WAS THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on American actress Rosario Dawson as Roxana (340-310 BC) in the epic historical drama "Alexander" (2004), directed by Oliver Stone. Roxana was a Sogdian princess of Bactria, the wife of Alexander the Great, and the mother of Alexander IV of Macedon.

Costume design: Jenny Beavan

Cinematography: Rodrigo Prieto

Production design: Jan Roelfs

BLACK FILM: "How much is known about Roxane from a historical point of view?"

RD: "Very little. There's very little [background] about her. We know more about Begolas than we know about her, and what little we do know is highly contentious about whether or not she was someone who was the love of his life or was someone who he just married because he'd already had his good standing in the area and it was a political move, or because he really just wanted an heir and suddenly got impatient to have one, all of which besides there being a strong emotional dynamic seems very unlikely. I mean, he just overthrew the Persian empire -- he doesn't exactly need Oxyardies' help, and he kind of went several years into his campaign of warring without securing an heir, and he didn't secure one that was Macedonian or Greek, which really upset a lot of his companions. He married this woman, and it was a very strange thing in part of his history and Oliver's sort of expression of what that must have been like was because of her spirit and sort of the Oedipal complex that came out because she reminded him of his mother."

invented the concept of cunt actually

The Archaeologist/Classicist/Ancient Historian version of ‘I’ve never seen Star Wars’ is definitely telling people that I’ve never seen:

Troy

Gladiator (and Gladiator II, for that matter)

300

Alexander (even though one of my professors worked on the historical side of it)

The Mummy (I know, I’m disappointed at myself for this one too.)

They can’t believe it. Love Indiana Jones though.

Love and appreciation for these quotes from Alexander (2004)

Aristotle killed it here♡

If the producers from this movie allowed homosexuality, then what on earth did the guy from Troy do wrong- they were produced in the same year even!

Those couples, Achilles and Patroclus and later Alexander and his lover Hephaestion, were my first gay role models growing up ♡

Alexander's lines to Hephaestion in the movie Alexander 2004 for me is a sensitive topic he says ''I miss you, I need you and you who are you who I love Hephaestion and no other''… pls it was brilliant and beautiful and historically funny since Plutarch tells us that Alexander was much/more affectionate with Hephaestion pls this gives me pain effects

On the wedding night of your lover and his new wife, you give him a ring! This is like proposing at someone else’s wedding but you’re proposing to the groom.

T; 1.1k Alexander/Hephaistion

Another bout, this time far from anyone else's eyes, leaves Alexander yet again trapped and bested between Hephaistion's thighs - the one person he finds he doesn't . . . quite . . . mind losing to; from this perspective Alexander considers the bond between them in the light of one of Aristotle's lessons. . .

Zack Snyder Regains Rights to ‘Blood and Ashes,' Script Originally Pitched as a ‘300' Sequel (Exclusive)

"Blood and Ashes, which he partially wrote while shooting Army of the Dead for Netflix in 2019, ended up focusing on the relationship between Alexander the Great and his second in command, Haphaestion [...] "We got the rights back so we can make if we want it," Snyder said during an interview for this week's THR cover story. "I don't know what the marketplace is for an incredibly homoerotic, super violent, super sexual movie. But maybe it's perfect.""

ANOTHER ALEXANDER??? FUCK YEAH
