Elon Musk says he's down to fund Mel Gibson with $100,000,000 to create a historically accurate adaptation of 'The Odyssey'

@chrisheatherly Explain why Moana was celebrated for OCD level of cultural accuracy?
I can tell you why, because it's part of the process of the replacement of European culture.

[Stoyan Barakov @Stoyan_Barakov]

@_tommy_jay_1776 @acronym_man @fandompulse And then they get assimilated by the cultures that adopted the Greek and Roman ideals

[naiive @naiivememe]

The audience who watched The Odyssey and gave it a 9.6 rating on RT

[Stoyan Barakov @Stoyan_Barakov]

@BixaRevolts @TheRealZephryss Agreed, naturally could have followed so many directions, to Alexander The Great, to Rome, to ancient or Early medieval India... Heck even the period of the Three Kingdoms

@DirtballJake @DBstark2 @KenKen69698 @LinkedInLunat1c This is not a standard that the customer is OBLIGATED to follow. It's a free country. Go ask your boss for a raise if you are not a coward. Go study and find a better job if you are not a loser with an IQ of 90. But you all are scared losers that can't stand up to your bosses

@Raka_74 @RealReaper27 This was 1000 years after the Odyssey.

@JedediahBlunt @RealReaper27 As silly as this looks, Nolan’s is far far worse. And he had another way of doing this that would have looked amazing:

[Homer Pavlos @HomerPavlos]

There are some powerful secrets and symbols in the Odyssey that you can only understand if you speak Greek. The Odyssey, apart from being a literary work, also conceals a profound philosophy that most people are unaware of, not intentionally, but because this philosophy cannot be fully understood in the English language; it can only be grasped in Greek, thanks to the richness of its philology and the etymology of its words. The three most important suitors who die are Antinous, Eurymachus, and Amphinomus. In English, these names mean nothing, but in the Greek language, they carry great significance due to Homer's deliberate choice of them.

The name Antinous means the one who opposes rational arguments, the irrational one ('anti' + 'nous' = mind/intellect). Antinous is the first to speak, the most irreverent of all, and the first to be killed. Odysseus reveals his true self, he has changed after ten years fighting at Troy and another ten struggling against the seas. The first trial he faces upon his return is a war within his own mind, his reason. That is why Homer creates Antinous as his first enemy: the one who fights against logic, according to his name. Odysseus triumphs over him.

Next comes Eurymachus. He is warlike but also two-faced. His name means the broad, great fighter ('eurys' = wide/broad + 'machites' = fighter). Eurymachus puts Odysseus in a dilemma and tries to shift the blame onto Antinous. He personifies discord and duplicity, a man without morals, capable of anything to avoid punishment. Yet Odysseus overcomes this obstacle as well, which symbolizes moral superiority. He does not yield, and his mind is not poisoned.

Third is Amphinomus. His name means the one who distorts the law ('amphi' = around/both sides + 'nomos' = law). He is the most compassionate of the suitors. Amphinomus tries twice to discourage the other suitors from murdering Telemachus. Odysseus even tries to warn Amphinomus to leave the house before the final battle. Nevertheless, Amphinomus stays and dies along with the others.

Through this, Odysseus, and by extension Homer, teaches us that in life, sacrifices are required, even when they demand that we show no compassion when the goal is more important and serves a greater purpose that will improve things overall. These are sacrifices that most people, even brave and heroic ones, cannot make.

That is why there are many people, but few are truly heroes.

The difference proves the point. The replacement is underway

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

Moana hired a full team of Polynesian consultants to police everything from tattoos to how the heroine addresses her elders. The Odyssey cast zero Greek or Mediterranean actors in a story that belongs to Greece.

One culture got a "Cultural Trust". The other got mocked for asking.

Why is Hollywood like this?

@LemmeReact @bigbabolat You could've have 🏴‍☠️ it from online streaming or torrent, yes with shit quality but enough for the review
