Odysseus: what have you done with my men

Circe:

[amorphousbl0b]

Nolan's Odyssey is a very conservative movie all about how violating religious law is going to destroy civilization, but modern conservatives are so stupid and aesthetic-focused that the mere existence of non-white people in its cast is making them think it's woke

Also. Insane to make a whole thing of how the Greeks violated “Zeus’s law” towards the Trojans with the horse trick, but never mention Paris by name. Y’know. The guy who kicked off the war by violating xenia first?

He kidnapped his wife’s host. He violated the sanctity of marriage. Menelaus and Helen welcomed Paris as they would any Greek guest, and in return this foreigner bedded (raped) and stole the warlord King of Sparta’s wife.

This isn’t to say what the Greeks did to the Trojans was justified — on the contrary, both sides of the war, in life and in death, in the Iliad and Odyssey and extended body of spin-off works, lament that there was so much death and destruction on behalf of one woman.

But the war very much wasn’t just about Helen — it was about her kidnapping, and what it represented.

How could the Greeks let such a violation of xenia, such a barbaric act that spurned their most valued customs, go unpunished? They couldn’t. That was why the Trojan War happened. And you can’t ignore that, especially not in a retelling of the Odyssey, which is all about xenia and hubris and what happens when men do things they should not.

How lovely it would be if Christopher Nolan’s take cared about or respected any of those themes.

I actually haven't been able to stop thinking about this article all day. I'm jittery. Emily Wilson destroyed Christopher Nolan. She basically said "it was nice of him to renew interest in the Odyssey even if he didn't understand the Odyssey at all and did a bad job at it." I feel so vindicated. I'm gonna ride this high for weeks.

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

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

Also, separately, I have to include this quote that is not in the Guardian article. It was an in an article from The Times where Emily Wilson was interviewed, but it's behind a paywall so I'm putting a screenshot/alt text instead of just the link. Emily Wilson is such an icon for saying this.

"[Emily Wilson] does, however have views on the women of The Odyssey. 'By Nolan standards this was great for women characters. By Homer standards it was a bit disappointing.'"

can you imagine tho if Eridians discovered radiation years and years after the Blip-A left

and they're just absolutely horrified because now they know why the Blip-A never returned, they sent them all to die, now to save their sun they have to redo the entire program all over again and Adrian is devastated -
