Feminist ‘The Odyssey’ Translator Emily Wilson Blasts Christopher Nolan’s Modern Adaptation

“The film certainly presents us with an Odysseus who feels very bad about certain things he's done in war and is struggling to process them in a very modern psychiatrized way... He's struggling to process them and needs drugs to do so. And he seems to feel bad about being a warrior and we never get to see him doing much warrioring. Which I thought in a way was a bit of a shame.” -Emily Wilson

Fun fact: “The Odyssey” UNDERPERFORMED internationally too!

$139.6 million from 73 international markets is absolutely DISASTROUS relative to the expectations, budget, and Nolan brand.

And even moreso when you consider Nolan's home territory, UK/Ireland, delivered only a measley $17.4M!

Other markets:

🇫🇷 France — $13.7M
🇮🇹 Italy — $11.5M
🇦🇺 Australia — $9.2M
🇩🇪 Germany — $8.0M
🇮🇳 India — $7.2M
🇲🇽 Mexico — $7.0M
🇪🇸 Spain — $5.2M
🇧🇷 Brazil — $4.7M
🇦🇪 UAE — $3.0M

And the remaining 63 smaller markets combined contributed about $52.7M - less than $1 million per territory.

For a $400M investment and a Nolan-level event film, these numbers should be much higher.

Don't believe the hype.

Seriously. Not even in ancient Greece was there a single Chinese restaurant to be found??? This could have 100% happened. Laundry doesn't dry clean itself. Railroads don't build themselves!!!

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey IS the Trojan Horse. Let me explain…

The Trojan Horse is a deception, meant to be invited in as an innocent gift & piece of art, yet it contains the elements used to destroy its receiver.

The Odyssey is portrayed as simply an adaptation of an ancient, epic poem, yet it contains subversive elements that can lead to further destruction within film/society.

Odysseus is completely deconstructed. He is no longer a witty, cunning, & wise, and powerful leader. He’s as Emily Wilson calls him in her recent liberal, feminist translation of The Odyssey, “a complicated man” - a deconstruction of the hero portrayed in the source material, prior to Wilson’s rewrite.

Women are seen as victims, never the villains. They’re powerful, as if Nolan is purposely trying to shame/take down the patriarchy…

- Clytemnestra is a victim who simply takes vengeance against Agamemnon. They try to justify her affair and the murder of her husband instead of showcasing her lack of loyalty destroying the juxtaposition between her and Penelope who remains loyal to Odysseus for DECADES.
- Helen of Troy is the victim of an abusive marriage with Menelaus, which leaves her scared.
- The witch Circe paints all men as “pigs” at their core.
- Penelope talks about taking the throne, while calling her son weak and unworthy.
*None of these depictions are faithful to the source material that has been passed down for millennia.

This movie is loved by many, yet it includes many liberal ideologies those people fight against.

The diverse casting is an overt distraction, and political message. Nolan has duped hundreds of thousands of movie goers into believing these casting don’t matter in the grand scheme. It’s a slippery slope to welcome in more trans actors/actresses and race-swaps in future films.

This movie is accepted by many who have fought against the Trojan horses in our society that have ruined homes, schools, churches, relationships, and business. People are lost in a 3+ hour lotus flower of a movie that is objectively a desecration of western society’s quintessential story of the hero’s journey.

Subversion of the source material is what has ruined so many IPs, franchises, and adaptations over the last decade, especially.

The acceptance and embrace of this film will only lead to more subversive works. Nolan has duped society into believing poems like Homer’s The Odyssey can be downplayed as “just a fantasy”, which downplays the poem as “up for interpretation” to its core, so it can be destroyed with the insertion of modern political ideologies.

That line of thinking presents the source material, the intended core motivation of its characters, and the message ingrained in the story that has made it last for thousands of years, not as something to be faithful to, but something to be molded into our own modern image. Nolan is now elevated above Homer, unlike Peter Jackson, whose motivation was to honor Tolkien in his adaptation of The Lord of the Rings.

This movie is the 1619 Project of Homer’s work. It’s presenting a different story, and redesigned characters, in order to redefine what made The Odyssey so compelling & long-lasting in the first place.

It’s now a story about “welcoming the stranger.” An allegory seemingly for immigration and sanctuary cities 🤦🏼‍♂️

As this film is paraded into the walls of the Dolby Theater in Hollywood for the Academy awards, Elliot Page will be treated like a hero, maybe even nominated for an award, and it will be used as a weapon to further destroy foundational works of art, just like Amazon has done to Lord of the Rings, Disney has done to Star Wars and Snow White, HBO to Harry Potter, etc.

The acceptance of this film is what will lead to further adaptations that empower directors, writers and studios into subversive retellings and propaganda-filled revisionist histories that work to upend foundational aspects of western culture.

If that happens, we can only blame ourselves…
