Maybe everyone sees something different when they watch a movie, and this is what I saw.

I love the movie "Alexander the Great". The main reason is that I saw real love in this movie. This is a movie that made me feel love the most. I've been thinking about what is most important to maintain a relationship. Apart from the feeling of love at first sight when we first met, to make a relationship go further, we also need loyalty, trust, companionship, support, reason, and tolerance. In the movie, Hephaistion showed absolute loyalty both as a soldier and as the lover of Alexander the Great. He followed Alexander all his life to fight, and spent almost his entire life on horseback. He turned a blind eye to Alexander's princesses and male favorites. No matter how many lovers Alexander had, he believed that he had always believed that Alexander loved only him. He trusted his lover. From the first time they both met as children, Hephaistion had been by his side and never parted. Even if Alexander was going to fight, he would accompany him because he was capable and strong enough to help and even protect Alexander. The longest time they separated was only a month. It was when Hephaistion died. Just a month later, Alexander the Great followed his only love, Hephaestion, in accordance with his previous promise to him. Fistian. Hephaistion is absolutely supportive of any decision Alexander makes. He didn't just say it verbally. He will do his best to implement the Emperor's decision. Do it yourself strictly. As long as Alexander continued his expedition, he would stay by his side and support him absolutely. Even the soldiers are tired and are resisting. Just one word from Alexander - he wants to do it, he does it. Hephaistion did not hesitate to kill the chickens to show the monkeys, and quelled the resistance to support his decision. When Alexander didn't know what to do, he only listened to Hephaistion's advice. He believed, Hephaistion. Because, Hephaistion is always wise and calm. Also always able to give him the right advice when he needs advice. Only Hephaistion could control him when he was impulsive, cheer him up when he was depressed, and comfort him when he was sad. Help him to become a great emperor with rich victories and legends through the ages. Alexander himself said that Hephaistion was the only person in the world he believed in. For Alexander's three wives, four concubines and many male pets, Hephaistion did not cry or make trouble, and did not embarrass the emperor at all. Even very supportive of him. Because his lover is Alexander the Great, the king needs a harem and descendants, and he cannot give him a child. Therefore, he is very supportive of his marriage. Although, on the wedding night, before sharing the room with the bride, Hephaistion found Alexander crying and handed him a ring that was said to come from the age of the stars and the sun, and said to him in tears, "You are me.

    It takes courage to make biographical movies. Your performance in just a few months is the life of others.

    I have seen dreams, I have seen regrets, and I have even seen unusual relationships between people. The movie has done this, and it is enough.
