Every liberal movie critic in America, oddly, all at the same time, are praising The Odyssey this morning.
That's enough for me to know that it's woke garbage.
Hard pass.
"Very little time in the Odyssey is spent in the perspective of a woman"
O illiterate founder of Greece, the goddess Athena (a female) drives the entire story from start to finish. Her fingerprints are on every page.
The entire point of the story is that mortals, in spite of all their pride and greed, are the playthings of the gods and therefore must be humble and behave honorably or they will be punished. The male god Poseidon is the antagonist, and the hero is Athena, who repeatedly leads the otherwise helpless characters to resolution and peace.
This knowledge could be yours, if you read the book
They are destroying a masterpiece….
This is raging feminist Emily Wilson.
She “translated” Homer’s classic which Chris Nolan used in his adaptation of the Odyssey.
Woke ruins everything it touches.
Christopher Nolan has cancelled all screenings of The Odyssey with movie influencers.
He is only allowing approved critics to see it in advance.
He is waving the surrender flag. They know they have a financial disaster on their hands.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey countdown trailer has reportedly become the most-disliked Hollywood trailer since Snow White.
Reported dislike estimates:
• The Odyssey — ~80%
• Snow White — ~95%
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey trailer has received more than 170,000 dislikes on YouTube, with a dislike ratio of nearly 80%. Audiences appear to be fed up with woke bullshit being pushed into movies.
Christopher Nolan bowed to a dying agenda. He chose to worship it and show disrespect toward the Greeks. He could have created a masterpiece. Instead, he chose to go woke and destroy his career. Woke Hollywood is dead.
The Left did not want people to see this movie.
It portrayed how Leftist governments import and protect immigrants that terrorize their native populations.
Elon changed that.
1 post is all it took.
Now millions saw it.
The Left needs total control of info they don’t have it.
It’s why they hate him.
Maine is the safest state.
Maine is the Whitest state.
Yesterday, a 60-year old man and a 34-year-old woman were shot in the face in drive-by shootings in Lewiston.
Somali 18-year-old Ahmed Yussuf is the shooter.
Our Greatest Strength™ strikes again (and again).
Here’s the thing.
When Nolan did THIS to "The Odyssey," he basically spat in the face of authenticity.
He spat on Ancient Greece.
He spat on the Greek people.
And he spat on anyone who actually respects the source material.
There is zero chance I’m rewarding that arrogant disrespect with my money.
If he can no longer control his own vision and has to bow to this nonsense, then he’s no longer a credible director in my book.
No matter how good the final product might look, it will look that much better for free in my living room.
It’s really that simple.
