  3. The Venn diagram of people who insist Jesus was a white guy and people demanding a historically accurate Odyssey is just one circle labelled 'we have some very specific ideas about ancient Mediterranean ethnicity.'

  5. I was reassured to wake this morning to discover that Elon Musk has realised that Nolan’s Odyssey is not only woke but it historically inaccurate. So he is going to correct the ‘historical truth’ lest we be misled.🙄

    The joke is on him, but I suspect he doen't realise it.

    Apologies for the AI slop - I would not normally post any, but it was one of the illustrations in the newspaper report.

  11. Trying to think what I want to see LESS than a “historically accurate” (as determined by someone who gives nazi-salutes), Grok-“created” adaptation of the Odyssey.

  13. The Odyssey to see The Odyssey (2026)

    As it is, the movie is infused with Nolan realism. Everything is serious and grim. The contrast between mythological events and reality creates this clash. I have not seen Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy, so I cannot tell how much of this juxtaposition has existed before. Still, the contrast of what I saw on screen and how the movie portrayed such events, threw me off the loop.

  20. Tempted to drive 9 hours to see #Odyssey in IMAX 70mm not because I want to make Nolan happy but because I want to make Musk angry.

  24. Why Christopher Nolan and why The Odyssey???

    On the surface it seems like The Odyssey is a vanity project. Like if Christopher Nolan after getting an Oscar for Oppenheimer ( which I still didn't review for some stupid reason ), decided that he is big enough, of a filmmaker, to take on a project of epic proportions, or something. Like he can tell Homer himself, how to properly tell a story, or whatever. But then you watch the movie.

  30. Saw The Odyssey today & I enjoyed it, was moved in parts, put to sleep in others, but like this director's other works, I feel like connection to the lead character (Odysseus) is thin. Themes come through well & I love how they portray his disappointment in himself ultimately, but he still feels distant, flat, & I know it's not Matt Damon's performance. Everyone feels that way. Like the director's other movies, it was okay but I don't feel urged to watch it again. Is it just me?

    (No, not 70mm IMAX, I was looking for a less people-y experience)

  34. Really enjoyed The Odyssey. Sure the movie took liberties but it's a great interpretation that made the story relevant to the contemporary world. Highly recommend it!

  36. "Charlize Theron’s Calypso likewise only really functions as a sounding board, ambling after him in the sand with drinks and lotus flowers. The flowers, it’s suggested, are secretly to stop Odysseus remembering who he is. The movie makes no mention of her keeping him as a sex slave for eight years. Homer’s Calypso is a great part. Nolan’s is some woman who runs a beach bar and is thinking of pivoting to psychotherapy."
