Thank you for the screencaps. My DVD will still delay to arrive and for less expectations than I have now because of your reviews, at least the images seem good. By the way, may I add your name to my list of friends, to have access to all your posts?

[coraldawn]

You are welcome! Sure we can friend each other. My lj has nothing in it that is "friends"-locked; in fact it is quite a boring place!

:\ Hrm, you know, I have a few problems with the movie and how they portray a few things.

Wellll, Bagoas was just a, how do I put this, pleasurer of sorts. He was just like a concubine, except maybe more, you know? I don't think they were in love like the pictures/movie make them seem like. For that era it was normal for people (especially Kings) to have people like Bagoas, and I don't doubt that Hephaestion had one too, so I doubt he'd be bothered. And even if he was, he loved Alexander and only wished for happiness. I just never thought of him as a possessive type.

But my main issue with the movie is just how important they made Bagoas seem (and how unhandsome. Dx I pictured him like... ten times better looking). If I have my facts wrong, and if I do, correct me, when I was reading on Alexander they really only say that he is a 'eunich' that belonged to Darius and now belongs to Alexander... But yeah. I need to read more about it, I just haven't found time, bah.

Nice pictures though, they just got me started on a rant. >_>

Oh, I would not confuse the movie with hsitory. It is NOT history. It is a work of fiction based on smatterings of history. I do agree with you about how "unhandsome" Bagoas looks in certain scenes - like Alexander's death scene or in the after-Cleitus scene, etc. Somehow it does not match historical descriptions of his beauty and especially youthfulness. And yes, the historical Bagoas was a eunuch with whome Darius had a relationship and later Alexander did too. I wish we had some description of him from Persian sources, not just from biased western eyes; he sounds a fascinating individual.

Oh wow *drools* I seriously love you for this right now *hugs*

I can definately see the potential for some new video making footage in there, now I'm less disappointed with how it turned out! *grins*

Do you min if I add you as a friend too? ^^

[coraldawn]

Sure, go ahead and + me as a friend.

I will try to put up some Bagoas for you soon.

[robynmalfoy]

YAY! *grins* Thank you! Although I'd be prefectly happy with just the yummy Alex/Phai ones. Bagoas is a bonus :D *hugs*

[imationrain]

*grr*

But thank you for the pics anyway :)

[coraldawn]

Yeah, the pics are pretty - because the film is visually beautiful. Rodrigo Prieto also did Brokeback Mountain! And I agree with what you said on your lj, I really dislike the picture the film has painted of Alexander. Forget Bagoas, Hephaistion, Mommy and Daddy; Alexander comes across as someone I want to repeatedly smack on the head!

[robynmalfoy]

Oh I wanted to smack the man upsdie the head SO many times in the movie it's not funny. Most noticibly after that talk he and Phai have the night before Gaugamela. -.- You should hear the rants I go on about that scene.
