watch out for Alexander the movie

[anilkc]

Releasing on 5th nov. It would be interesting to know how oliver stone interpreted the Indian history.

I would assume him to be closer to history than what we got to see in the Troy, if we recall The Doors, we see his passion for accuracy.Still it would be a western view of the histroy, thus it can be different from what the Indians know and believe.
I really love that scene in the teaser trailer(the one with the charging elephant), looking forward to see this movie.

...Oh yeah, It would be quite interesting to see the depiction of his time in India...
Apparently his nemesis in the campaign in India was King Porus (or Paurav) and as legend has it; After being defeated in the battle near the river Indus (Sindhu) and asked by Alexander as to how should he be now treated...He is supposed to have famously replied,"Like a King treats another King!"....

Anyways, here is a website where if you look at some of the Movie/Set pictures they seem to have been apprently done depicting his time in India.
(There is even one shot of him attacking the King's Elephant)
