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.

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.

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?

Spending this evening in the ancient, mythological Mediterranean #odyssey
(No, not 70mm IMAX, I was looking for a less people-y experience)

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!

"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."

On the matter of Greek erasure in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey
Nolan's Odyssey isn't just a movie—it's the latest act in a 200-year-old tradition of appropriating Greek culture while denying that Greeks should have control of their own heritage.

I'm over the whole "how important women are in the Odyssey" debate, and I don't care whether Nolan made their role better or worse.
Honestly I don't mind that the Odyssey is about Odysseus. Duh.
What I do mind is that people can still cash in big on a 24536th Odyssey adaptation, instead of adapting any of the DOZENS of amazing epics that ARE about women.
(Publishers keep telling me underrated Greek myths are not marketable because "everyone wants the popular ones")

Giving Christopher Nolan's Odyssey a hard pass.
Hollywood finds some literary landmark, LOTR or now Homer - and just can't resist sticking its editorial finger up the story's fundament.

Some of the words you’ll find within yourself,
the rest some power will inspire you to say.
You least of all — I know —
were born and reared without the gods’ good will.
[τὸν δ᾽ αὖτε προσέειπε θεά, γλαυκῶπις Ἀθήνη:
‘Τηλέμαχ᾽, ἄλλα μὲν αὐτὸς ἐνὶ φρεσὶ σῇσι νοήσεις,
ἄλλα δὲ καὶ δαίμων ὑποθήσεται: οὐ γὰρ ὀίω
οὔ σε θεῶν ἀέκητι γενέσθαι τε τραφέμεν τε.’]Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author

When Matt Damon found out in this movie they don’t send people to help him get home and he has to help himself get home.
