I think guys like these that engineer thinly-veiled killing machines that don’t exist yet should be court mandated to fly into the sun carried aloft by a swarm of their micro-drones like some sorta Silicon Valley Icarus

[Georgia Coley @artwithinpod]

if there's one reason above all others that I know The Odyssey is going to be great, it's that it's edited by the GOAT Jennifer Lame!

[erin @erinonfilm]

Also can confirm THE ODYSSEY hits even harder on a rewatch, my God

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@pureMetatron @DoctorLazertron See the movie you might be surprised

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@Aaron_Sparrow Yes ! Go see it!

First thoughts on The Odyssey.

There is a scene at the very beginning of the film in which, in the absence of his father, Telemachus is being trained by the blind Eumaeus, Odysseus’s loyal servant. Eumaeus warns that the reason Telemachus is constantly being bested by his sparring partner is that his defense is too quick. He must move more slowly, open his chest, invite the attack, and use his opponent’s momentum against him.

In the spirit of Odysseus, deep trickery is at work in this film.

Don’t let the apparent compromises fool you. The Odyssey is an absolute triumph. It is made with a profound love for the source material, filled with deep pathos: the return of the father, the elevation of the son, and the restoration of proper order despite all the sins perpetrated by the guardians of that order.

It is a film about the end of one world and the beginning of another; about remembrance, return, and the perpetuation of an order after a long wandering through chaos.

It’s The Odyssey.

@oldmantelegram It has alienness and strangeness aplenty !

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

To the extent the odyssey has a villain it’s a sniveling coward who thinks he’s really clever and hides behind his dorky fucking speechifying

Fwiw

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@Spinoza1229 @NamesHunter Odysseus says this in a very specific context. The movie itself doesn’t think or show Sinon as the greatest anything. Sinon is a pawn that Odysseus uses and gets slaughtered for it. Hm.

@WomanDefiner How much you wanna bet

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@JordanSantacana It’s a lot practical!

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@gran1te_mtn @PalmyrPar Correct

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@BenShh1 It’s “incessant penchant” by the time you get to lugubrious it’s over

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@ThatChrisGore He’s a very authentic and fair film critic too don’t forget

[ABNDESIGNS @abndesigns]

Nolan's films aren't usually ebullient or effulgent, but rarely does he dip into lugubriousness. Saturnine, maybe.

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@IstaPhobos @mackaybell Well if he’s very authentic and fair that settles it!

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@kenzie__xcx @NikkoCaruso Maybe it’s just not for you but if you can find a way into it it rewards a second viewing re the emotionality

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@bernardtjoy You saw it?

[Craig Shilowich @CraigShilowich]

@RealJDDuran Jennifer lame!
