The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there's an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.

everybody leaving tags on my letterboxd roundup like "they didn't do the nobody scene??" we're so fucking past that i need you to catch up. i went into the movie knowing they wouldn't do the nobody scene and frankly i had made peace with it like okay if you don't want odysseus calling himself outis because you don't feel like the joke translates well enough WHATEVER you dont need to film every line of the poem. what i was NOT prepared for is that THEY DON'T SPEAK TO POLYPHEMUS AT ALL. they don't steal a giant wheel of cheese, they don't get him drunk, odysseus doesn't taunt him after their escape, AND he doesn't cry out to poseidon or the other cyclopes on the shore. it's "revealed" that he can speak in the cave before their escape as he prays to poseidon. someone asks odysseus "should we try to reason with him?" and ODYSSEUS says "we're past that." resulting in an adaptation where odysseus does not use wit or trickery to escape polyphemus at all-- which is the case with every single obstacle he meets. this guy does not lie and he does not play tricks. his intelligence is restricted to battlefield tactics, the administration and direction of his men as units. You have to poke polyphemus so he opens his eye before you can stab it! I am very smart. the only point at which he could be described as "tricking" polyphemus is when-- because the movie is allergic to making odysseus look stupid or silly in any way-- they tie straw to their backs to be mistaken for sheep instead of riding the undersides of the sheep, and we are presented with an action sequence of trousered and armored soldiers somersaulting and army crawling under polyphemus' gently dangling hand. which i hate because it is a less clever solution that only works if polyphemus is extremely stupid (shepherd who doesn't know how many sheep he has) -- and more importantly because it removes IMO the most emotionally efficient moment in the odyssey, which is polyphemus talking to the one sheep that's walking slow because it has odysseus on its belly like "oh no are you feeling okay today? you're moving so slow, maybe you're upset because i'm in pain? you're the best sheep in the world and i love all of you my sheeps" like that scene is supposed to instantly retroactively humanize polyphemus and make you realize odysseus has been torturing a person with feelings who basically just wants to be left alone with his pet sheep and it's extremely good at that in every translation i've ever read. but not one of odysseus' enemies are allowed an inch of humanity in this entire adaptation which seems to be a veiled metaphor for the vietnam war so what can you expect. and yes because odysseus never does anything wrong or stupid or silly, OF COURSE he would never reveal his name and allow polyphemus to curse him, and his crew only "believes" that he's been cursed by poseidon thereafter, which removes the ENTIRE MAIN ANTAGONIST of the story and changes the central conflict from man vs. god to man vs. ????

I was talking about this with some female friends irl recently and I know I made a post about this before, but I can't find it, so I'll make a new one. One of the things you'll frequently see on dating apps that's actually a red flag and conservative-coded is men saying they consider it a red flag if a woman isn't close to her family. A woman being close to family is a requirement for them. At first, that seems like a strange requirement, because you have absolutely no idea what a stranger's family is like and a lot of people have a very good reason to distance themselves from toxic family members.

But that's the point; they don't want a woman who will set boundaries and walk away if she's mistreated enough. They want a woman who they can trap and guilt into not leaving them "because of the kids!" and "because family!" They view women who are strong enough to walk away from family as a threat. And I remember seeing idiots online try to excuse this shit with "well akshewally The Family (tm) is just more important in some cultures." But this also has to do with misogyny! Any talk of valuing The Family (tm) above all else is designed to demonize women who don't want to give up their lives and happiness for traditional, patriarchal family structures. There's nothing wrong with loving your family, but cultural emphasis on The Family (tm) is pretty much always conservativism.

There's also just this ugly streak where people say "well someone who doesn't have a stable family probably has issues and goes to therapy (yuck) and I don't want to deal with that", as if people who are close to their family are incapable of having issues too!

So at best, if you see a guy on the Apps (derogatory) who says this shit, he's ignorant as fuck. At worst, he thinks a woman walking away from shitty relationships is a cold bitch. Either way, stay away from them.

it's so crazy too bc i'll be like "this phrase/practice is being touted as ancient knowledge with a secret unbroken lineage, but it was quite literally made up in the 20th century. like we can trace it back to its very inception in like 1961." and someone will be like "that can't be true because my grandmother taught it to me." and i'm like yes your grandmother was 20 in 1961.
