one thing about The Odyssey's cast is Robert Pattinson. yes the film is full of celebrities who have outsized reputations to the point that it can be difficult to see them as their character rather than as their public persona. but Pattinson? honestly, generational talent is an understatement. the man disappears into each and every role he takes on so completely that you don't see his public persona at all. you don't see Robert Pattinson! you just see Antinous and it's just such a good performance of the slimy bastard, too. so good.

Yes, he has his problems. Yes, his writing of women leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, yes, yes.

But god, I admire the fuck out of Christopher Nolan. I have loved this guy's work ever since I first saw Interstellar, more than 10 years ago, and then learned that he planted a real field of corn to film in, and used screens projecting pictures of space rather than greenscreens etc.

In this age of AI slop, AI actors, generated backgrounds, greenscreen CGI and whatever bullshit the MCU is running on, a guy with a real passion for the craft--not the money, not the product, but the craft of filmmaking--is such a dose of reality that I just can't not admire him. As long as he keeps doing his thing, I'm gonna go to the theatres for every single Nolan film, because I know that real work went into its making and it matters to me so much. So. Much.

Seriously, I'm willing to let an embarrassing amount of shit slide for some genuine cinematography. I'm not even kidding.

(The Circe scene was prosthetics and practical effects!!! They filmed on a real ship on the sea!!! Don't mind me while I explode with a burst of love for the craft of filmmaking!!!)

Okay so I genuinely like the Odyssey. Like it was just a high quality movie

That being said…

There was certainly a few things that I had qualms with, some serious concerns and some smaller things I was personally just not crazy about

But the main thing

This movie wasn’t about Odysseus

It was a very good movie about a man having a very long journey home, but that man wasn’t Odysseus

At no point in the whole three hour run time did I think “wow he’s clever”. The movie said he was clever but it never proved it. Every choice he made seemed built on spite, sorrow, or even just pure stupidity

So yes very high quality movie that was beautifully shot, but no it was not about Odysseus

[whimsicalfairytales]

The “nobody” scene in the odyssey is absolutely not just a clever pun—it’s a character defining moment for Odysseus because he refuses to be nobody. He devised an incredible plan that worked and he could have saved his men and returned home much sooner but he just had to yell to the cyclops that he isn’t nobody—he’s Odysseus, king of Ithaca so now Poseidon knows who to curse which severely fucks up the rest of the journey.

The “nobody” scene highlights both Odysseus’s cleverness but also his arrogance and those two traits define Odysseus throughout the entire story. It’s a foundational aspect of Odysseus’s character and cutting the scene displays a shocking level of ignorance and disregard for the themes in the source material.

the halftime show had such a crazy mix of everything like what do you mean bts was sandwiched between madonna driving a disco car with ronaldinho and a justin bieber ballad before shakira's choir came in and then it panned to tom cruise and miss piggy

used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic

we were so preoccupied with mitch mcconnell that we hadn't considered that other u.s. politicians could die

and, look, I’m not complaining, not at all, but this is why it’s very important to be abundantly clear and specific with your Etsy witch.

Working an office job will truly make you have the wildest enemies, bc why is my nemesis rn a woman I’ve never met and who exclusively haunts me by sending diabolical emails, and also a specific guy who left my company before I even worked here and made the system so fuckass that it ruined procedures for like a year
