So, The Odyssey. Lol. It’s good, maybe Nolan’s best, and not even slightly “woke.” The right-wing hysteria is amazingly detached from reality.
It’s a relentlessly masculine film, visually similar to Troy (2004) at times, but starker and bleaker, less flamboyant and less feminist. Circe, Calypso, Charybdis etc. are classic Nolan female chaos dragons. Penelope’s weaving is not dwelled upon.
The costumes look good. The soundscape is relentless roaring and clanging that rings in your ears when you wander out of the theater feeling slightly overwhelmed by three hours of torchlit Mycenaean brutality.
The brief presence of several black actors and one transsexual feels utterly natural in a mythological setting of seafaring travelers, and the fits of neurosis over it are extremely embarrassing for champions of the Master Race, whose ideological fanaticism and general hostility to aesthetic values has now exceeded the wildest excesses of left-wing media critique.
The Odyssey will have the legacy of a great film yes, but also one of exposing right wing grift echo chambers from being disconnected from reality. I'm a big Nolan critic, and I think it's his best work yet. 9/10
@SeanDaBlack white political leftist commentators are too online + don't spend time in the communities they say they represent. Political analysis from their bedrooms and studios and socializing at cocktail parties and no idea what it's actually like to live day to day with working class folk
@Xtremefootage This happened to me once but I swam down and if you go deep enough there is a city with advanced breathing tech (works for every body of water)
