Embracing Alexander's bisexuality - though not to the point of actual guy-on-guy action - is the only subversive element in this otherwise surprisingly old-fashioned and plodding epic by the once-maverick Stone.
None of these characters is adequately fleshed out, despite the three-hour running time, much of which is devoted to Alexander endlessly debating his tactics with his generals - and cutaways to windy reminiscences of the conqueror's aged pal Ptolemy (a barefoot and apparently bored Anthony Hopkins), 40 years after Alexander's death.
But aside from the CGI-enhanced battles, "Alexander" is as huge a travesty and a bore as 1956's "Alexander the Great," in which Richard Burton looked equally uncomfortable as a blond.

As for the hetero sex, Rosario Dawson, as Alexander’s first wife, Roxane, a Persian wiggler with eyes that droop allure, has a great scene in which she puts a knife to Alexander’s throat shortly before they have sex.
Anthony Hopkins is the movie’s narrator-by-default, playing Ptolemy in the framing device—the sage dictates the tale of Alexander’s exploits to a sweaty parchment-scrivener as they stand under a blazing Greek sun (poor red-domed Hopkins looks as though he is patting his robes for some SPF 35 sunblock).
Near the end of the film, in India, Alexander and his now-bedraggled crew are set upon by invadees mounted on elephants, animals that scare the bejesus out of the Greeks and their horses.

 FANNY AND ALEXANDER - New York Times
Fanny and Alexander is a big, dark, beautiful, generous family chronicle, which touches on many of the themes from earlier films while introducing something that, in Bergman, might pass for serenity.
Though most of the film is seen through the eyes of Alexander, all of Fanny and Alexander has the quality of something recalled from a distance events remembered either as they were experienced or as they are imagined to have happened.
There are repeated references in Fanny and Alexander to this little world, which in the film refers to the Ekdahls’ theater, a place of melodrama, comedy, dreams, magic, and moral order, in contrast to the increasing chaos of life outside.

 Representation: Alexander Hamilton, New York Ratifying Convention
I contend that sixty-five and twenty-six in two bodies afford perfect security, in the present state of things; and that the regular progressive enlargement, which was in the contemplation of the General Convention, will leave not an apprehension of danger in the most timid and suspicious mind.
It proves however, this point; that a few individuals may be competent to these objects; and that large numbers are not necessary to perfection in the science of taxation.
Their vices are probably more favorable to the prosperity of the state, than those of the indigent; and partake less of moral depravity.
