Le film est assez simple à comprendre : ne pas accueillir les étrangers, les maltraiter, aggresser ses voisins, piller voler ; tout ça cause l’effondrement de la civilisation
Every famous death in The Odyssey is the same crime.
The Trojan War? Started because a houseguest stole his host's wife. The cyclops? Blinded for eating his visitors. The suitors? Slaughtered for overstaying their welcome in another man's home.
Nolan read it correctly. Homer wrote 3,000 years ago about one thing: how you treat strangers decides whether civilization holds.
Here's why the Greeks were obsessed with it. Ancient Greece had no hotels, no cops, no ID. If you traveled anywhere, you knocked on a stranger's door and hoped.
So they made hospitality sacred. Feed the stranger. Give him a bed. Don't ask his name until after dinner. Zeus himself enforced the rule, and any beggar at your door might be a god in disguise. So you treated every stranger like a king.
Break the rule and the gods break you. That's the entire plot.
We still carry the proof in our mouths. Guest, host, and hostile all come from the same ancient word. A stranger at your door was always both things at once.
Nolan bet $250 million that after 3,000 years, we still need the reminder. $257 million opening weekend, his biggest ever, says he was right.
A City of Cape Town Mayor, given directives by the Constitutional Court & Public Protector to fix & report on service & infrastructure failures in Cape Town within 6 months is busy doing tours in another municipality.
The headline would be different if this was an ANC Mayor.

Jokes aside, Black people are people like anyone else. Some understand historical materialism, most try to keep our heads down and get through life the best we can, and some are craven opportunists who sell their souls for money. Nayib Bukele and DJ Khaled are also Palestinian 🤷🏾♂️

This is free advice from an expensive psychologist.
If you're an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don't make everything a matter of life and death.
George Orwell worried that a shrinking vocabulary would eventually produce a shrinking range of thought.
It is difficult to think a nuanced thought with a blunt language.
Things like this are why I’ve never paid attention to white beauty standards. If they’re talking about people who don’t look like me, it’s not my business to think or care about what they find beautiful.
@devareauxvzn Yeah she’s fighting people in the comments pointing out that Egypt is part of Africa, and her previous videos show she loves to pick on Black people. She’s right, but absolutely the wrong messenger.
