Never has someone turned around their public image as much as Tom Cruise. He’s crazy but I love the guy.

[Gio @ThatMovieGuy8]

Baby’s first tweet! Tom Cruise did indeed come into Lincoln Square to watch “The Odyssey” at a private screening and on his volition after a very sweet chat he invited all of us working to come and watch the movie with him. It was magical. The President of Movies indeed!

Tom Cruise invited all of the AMC theater employees in the building with him to watch ‘THE ODYSSEY’ in IMAX.

There’s never been a bigger signal to me that 90% of Twitter is fake than the made up culture war against the Odyssey. If you’re normal and go see the movie you have ZERO idea there’s some uproar about the casting. Everyone on this app is fake and/or insane now.

History geeks wanted to take this away from you by the way #TrustInNolan

[Swell @cinemaxwell]

One of the things that has stuck with me about The Odyssey is its use of Zeus’ law and how being kind to strangers is always the best path forward, particularly while the world seems to be completely falling apart. Not at all timely or vital.

Most cucked fucking society in history.

They used to kill bakers over cutting corners with ingredients dawg.

[James @JamesCee00]

@TheChrisLambert Thank you for this. I needed to read this again

[Giancarlo Sopo @GiancarloSopo]

I just got home from watching The Odyssey.

A year ago, my one worry about Nolan’s adaptation was that “defy the gods” marketing tagline. Homer’s poem was not about defiance. It’s about a man who breaks a sacred law and spends the rest of his life answering for it. If the film didn’t capture that, I’d say so.

I’m thrilled to report that Nolan understood the assignment. This is fundamentally a film in which men are answerable to an order they did not author and cannot escape, and violating it costs them everything. Few modern films carry that kind of metaphysical weight anymore, and it was a genuine pleasure to see those values dramatized on screen.

The scale invites comparisons with Lean’s masterpieces, and the performances from Damon, Hathaway, Pattinson, and Leguizamo are superb. A few choices in the sound mix and photography occasionally threw me off, but never enough to sink the experience.

In short, this is a magnificent epic that respects Homer’s moral universe. It’s a film any conservative serious about cultural inheritance ought to appreciate. Those who spent months denouncing it as “woke” were reviewing the tweets they read, not the actual film, and they’ve told you precisely how much to trust them on everything else.

[James @JamesCee00]

It’s fascinating and says so much about Nolan that his last 2 movies are Oppenheimer and The Odyssey. Whatever he does next will be undoubtedly fantastic as well. A rewatch is so badly needed.

[Christopher Nolan Archives @NolanAnalyst]

Christopher Nolan says The Odyssey is ultimately about the idea that a society can only function through respect for strangers. He believes that, despite 3,000 years passing since Homer, that fundamental truth about human nature hasn’t changed.

[grace @agneswickfields]

does anyone else feel like humanity has fundamentally betrayed ourselves and the world and that we are now living in a perpetual apocalypse of our own making or is it just me and uh. acclaimed blockbuster filmmaker christopher nolan

[Tyler @TylerCWhitmore]

I did not know Christopher Nolan had a scene like this in his bag tbh

[James @JamesCee00]

Christopher Nolan might actually go back to back sweeps at the Oscars… what a guy. Only entering his peak years now by the looks of it.

Oppenheimer and The Odyssey will stand the test of time and cement him as one of the greats.

[Tom Cruise @TomCruise]

Wow! To Chris, Emma, and ALL of your brilliant cast and crew. Thank you for an amazing night in a movie theater. I can’t wait to see it again!

[James @JamesCee00]

All this bs for a semi final 😭

[Chris @CTNI88]

I can't put into words how angry I am at this

[James @JamesCee00]

@Jay_B___ fair point, the article I read didn’t include that figure. Still so much greed though at the end of the day 🙃

You can’t convince me life is just a series of coincidences. What do you mean Lionel Messi was randomly paired with a five-month-old baby after the baby’s family won a UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot while Messi played for Barcelona… and that baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal?

Lamine would go on to become one of the brightest young stars in soccer, wear the same No. 19 Messi wore for the same team when that photo was taken, and now, nearly two decades later, could face Messi in a World Cup Final???????

[Vusi.Mz🦉 @YouDunnoVusi]

It was at this point Messi realised he had to lock in😭😭😭😭
