Roger Ebert’s review of Oliver Stone’s film Alexander in three words: pan-nationalism, pan-sexualism, pan.
UPDATE: Victor Davis Hanson—a classics scholar—comments on Stone’s film. His take: history gets short shrift. Not to mention the investors:
I’ve heard so many inane things mouthed by Stone that I would like someone at last to address this question—why would supposedly smart insiders turn over $160 million to someone of such meager talent to make such an embarrassing film? Alexander the Great is third-rate Cecil B. Demille in drag.
