Is the movie Alexander (2004) racist?

Keep coping with your identity here. It nobody's fault who you are. Don't blame whitey, hollywood and Europeans in general.

Cheap copy-pasted rants. Now go learn basic English and help your sorry-ass. Never quote my posts again because I add you to my ignore list and I don't see your posts anymore. Hope you understand it this time.

Although this is true, nature has straightened them out. They have become a single race again. That's always the end result, either that or war. You can't compare dogs here, because they are not advanced intelligent life like Humans are. Yeah dogs mix breeds, but they also eat their own shit, so I don't think they qualify as advanced intelligent life and because they eat their own shit doesn't mean we should be doing it ourselves.

The point is, Humans today are in distinct ethnic and racial groups and interracial romance and sex is not the norm in most societies in the world today. And for this reason, it remains taboo. But unlike the rest of the world, the west is being bombarded with it by propaganda being pushed into their homes through the television. That's where the problem is. It's being forced on people by the liberal media. Not everyone wants to believe in liberalism. I'm proud that my community has preserved our lineage, heritage, traditions, folklore and customs. That's something to be truly proud of. Interracialism will destroy that if we allow it. That's where it becomes a problem for me.

Dogs are very clean animals they dont eat their own shit, a dog would not even shit where he eats. Just saying but they are not as intelligent as humans eventhough they are intelligent. Well humans mix the same way dogs mix, just give them freedom, in many societies oppression is still norm whether by state, society or their families. Some families force people into genital mutilation, some families practice honour killing everything to force the family or society into obedience and conformity. In a free society this doesnt happen. And freedom is also freedom of expression, to depict interracial couples in media, if you want you can found your own TV channel and depict white only couples and people can censor what they want to see on TV, like the censorship for children which TV channels you watch. In mainstream media it should be depicted though because that represents the society as a whole. If you want white only couples found a own TV channel.

Political correctness is more than seeking to control racial superiority. It's a complex system of propaganda. Pushing non-traditional ideas of the left on people who'd rather live traditional lives. It's a propaganda machine. And it does not protect everybody. It discriminates and is used as a weapon against certain groups of people. War is capable by any Human on earth. Political correctness is war on conservatism and traditional values. It's a plague upon the west as it seeks to destroy the traditional values of the west.

well thats a pitty, that certain people like you feel there is a war on them, but there cant be tolerance for intolerance, sorry.

Spoiler!

Annelise Hesme is beautiful, though she's doesn't really look Iranian enough to play a persian princess.

Whitewash is common in American cinema, just see Exodus: Gods and Kings.

The movie actually had an anti-racist agenda. Alexander is portrayed as a man of vision who wanted to mix Greek and non-Greek elements and create a new world which is more humane, sophisticated and united. People who opposed Alexander were portrayed as narrow minded and are even responsible for Alexander's death. In order to emphasize Alexander's liberal views, the director decided to select an African actress to be Alexander's wife. Not to mention that Alexander was bi-sexual.

In the movie Anthony Hopkins describes Alexander as Plutarch in his later age. It is only then, in Alexandria, in the new world which Alexander envisioned, where Plutarch could see how big Alexander really was.

You can call it a pity if you like, but there is an active war against traditional values in the west by liberals using political correctness as a weapon. Western countries should be able to continue their traditional ways, as they have before. Westerners should not have to tolerate an attack on their traditional values. Intolerance is a red herring argument. It's an intrusion of traditional western ways. The intolerant are those on the left. Intolerant of traditional western values. If they don't like the traditional ways of the west, they could always leave.

But notice only the west is targeted for destruction of traditional values from the liberal "intolerance" crowd. Funny thing how they are not conducting a smear campaign on the Middle East or the Orient. Lots of traditions there they could attack or since they have homogenous nations, lots of people they could call racist. But the difference is, they are not being targeted for attack.

c'mon now, I'm trying to have a civil debate here. Telling me to go start my own tv channel is ridiculous and unrealistic. The point is, societies have a right to keep their traditions. This attack on traditional western values is ridiculous. This political correctness that is disguised as "freedom" corrupts the traditional ways of a society. Infecting western societies with perversions and grotesque ideologies that are not traditional in such a society. There can be freedom of expression and still uphold traditional values. Nations have been doing it forever.

It's not about having white only couples on tv or white only channels, that's just where your mind is going. Your mind went straight to "white only" in a discriminatory manner, that's certainly not what I meant. There could be black couples or Asian couples on tv. But for the record, if a majority white country or a fully white country would have mainly whites couples on tv or "white channels" I don't see a problem with that since they are the majority of a country and it's their country to do as they will, such as those in Europe. In Japan, all the people on tv are Japanese. In China, the same. In Saudi Arabia, the same. In South Korea, the same. I don't see why it is expected to be different in the west. But the reason is...Asia is not targeted by political correctness. The west is. That's where the difference is.

And bro, dogs are not as clean as you think. I've seen them with my own eyes eat dried up pieces of dog shit off the ground. I've seen them lick the piss off the concrete when another dog marked their tracks. They walk up to any random dog and lick their ass. Surely, you can't compare the behavior of dogs to humans.

However, you can not go outside and start shooting at blacks openly. In everyday life people have to abide by the law and composed communication. What is it if not the political correctness? Absolutely the same in international politics, this is the rational approach. It doesn't exclude the aggressive behavior in relation to "others" when it becomes necessary. and not means surely special nationalistic characteristics erasure. How this polite type of behavior can destroy the traditional values?

Who is outside shooting at blacks openly? Maybe other blacks or cops that can't control their temper... but most people are not doing that. Yes, we all abide by laws. Laws are needed to keep order. I don't understand your point. Stoping shootings of anyone is not political correctness. That's basic law and order and is needed. I don't see your point. Respectfully, your comment is not making sense to me.

I can agree with this comment.
