  2. OUCH! The Translator of #TheOdyssey Just Slammed #ChristopherNolan’s Movie

    “I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script,” wrote #EmilyWilson, the first woman to translate The Odyssey into English.

    Excerpt: "Throughout her piece, the scholar notes that no adaptation should necessarily follow an original exactly. (In fact, she praises some radically reinterpretations of The Odyssey, including #MargaretAtwood's #Penelopiad, #MadelineMiller's #Circe, and other literary classics that riff off the text, including those of #Euripides, #JohnMilton, and #JamesJoyce.)"

  4. Although I'm not a Christopher Nolan fan we have tickets to see The Odyssey this weekend. My wife is a massive Samantha Morton fan (and we've heard she steals every scene she's in).

    Also... we're just curious at this point.

    I am starting to get a bit worried about going though.

    It seems like the film turns people into raving lunatics on the internet.

  7. Oh my god, this review of "The Odyssey," by Emily Wilson - who has translated Homer's original into English - is BRRRRRRRUTAL. The mere mortal Nolan is BODIED. Wilson, a god on earth, SLAYS.

    and so on.

    Read it, and have a giggle:

  9. No wonder the self-loathing, closet-cucks, and #PedoPresident-supporting #MAGAts like #Elmo the #SpaceNazi started experiencing hot flushes after watching #ChristopherNolan's latest epic.

    Your days are numbered fuckers: you can run, but you can't hide.

  11. On a related note, and purely from the promotional shots I've seen, casting Matt Damon in the lead is something akin to casting Kevin Costner as Wyatt Earp: we would prefer a Kurt Russell.

  13. Go, Emily Wilson!

    "The race-neutral casting of Nolan’s Odyssey was inevitably deplored in some quarters. But there is nothing progressive about it. Most of the non-white actors – Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Himesh Patel, Corey Antonio Hawkins, Travis Scott – play versions of the Black best friend, whose only role in the drama is to provide aid to the white protagonist."

    […]

    "There are more female characters than in most Nolan movies, thanks to the source material. But none of them has much to say, in contrast to the characterisations in the poem."

    […]

    "As they say at the awards shows, I was humbled to learn that Nolan has read at least the first line of my translation of The Odyssey into iambic pentameter. In at least one interview, he cited my version of the first line of the poem: ‘Tell me about a complicated man.’ But I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script."

  17. The pacing, the editing, and the soundtrack for Christopher Nolan's version of "The Odyssey" blew me away.

    Really liked how a through line was created by the characters telling stories, because that's what it is -- a series of stories. One man figures largely in them, but it's not just his story.

    I truly enjoy the *way* Christopher Nolan tells stories in his movies.

    Cast was wonderful in their roles, I believed they were the people they played.

  19. ‘I would be ashamed to have written any part of this’: Odyssey translator Emily Wilson attacks Nolan blockbuster
    By Andrew Pulver

    Wilson, whose work on Homer’s epic was praised by Nolan, said his film was grandiose and superficial with ‘nothing convincing to say’

  20. I wouldn't be a massive Christopher Nolan fan, but herself wants to see The Odyssey, so it looks like I'll be seeing it this weekend after all.

    Which is grand, I'm certainly curious, and my lower-than-usual expectations will likely work in the film's favour.

  21. ‘It reminded me of James Bond’: Guardian readers on The Odyssey
    By Guardian readers, Alfie Packham and Rosie Peters-McDonald

    The Odyssey is the summer’s biggest film: an adaptation of an almost 3,000 year old poem that everyone is talking about. So what was our readers’ verdict?

  22. Dwie Odyseje

    Na urlopie nie zajmuję się Chinami, ale od czasu do czasu będę wrzucał coś krótkiego „off topic”.

    Obejrzałem “The Odyssey” Nolana i spodobała mi się. Gdybym musiał wybierać pewnie wolałbym „The Return” Pasoliniego, ale nie muszę wybierać. Mogą mi się podobać obydwie adaptacje.
