Leans Left
Primary
Alexander explores the complexities of ambition, leadership, and empire through a nuanced portrayal of its titular character, presenting both the visionary and destructive aspects without explicitly endorsing a particular political ideology.
The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, including a prominent minority actress in a key role, but does not explicitly recast traditionally white characters. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on historical events without engaging in modern critiques of these identities.
Secondary
The film "Alexander" offers a largely positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes by depicting Alexander's intimate relationship with Hephaestion as central, dignified, and deeply impactful. It affirms the worth of their love and treats Alexander's bisexuality as a natural part of his character, without negative framing or sensationalism.
Roxana, historically a Sogdian (Central Asian) figure, is portrayed by Rosario Dawson, an actress of Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican descent, which constitutes a race swap from her historical racial background.
The film primarily focuses on Alexander's military campaigns and political struggles, which are depicted through male characters. No significant female characters are shown engaging in or winning direct physical combat against male opponents.
As a historical biopic, "Alexander" portrays real-world figures. All major historical characters depicted in the film maintain their documented historical gender, with no instances of a character established as one gender being portrayed as another.
