Some very scattered thoughts on The Odyssey. Also, caveat that I know much more about Homer than I know about films, so this is very much a literature person reacting to a movie. SPOILERS AHEAD (how can you spoil a 5000 year old poem…)

- I don’t really care whether it’s “faithful.” There is no single faithful Odyssey. Every translation is already an interpretation.
- The music score was just…unremarkable. I kept waiting for the music ro do something to me and it didnt. It was just loud.
- Matt Damon will win the Oscar for the siren scene
- I wish Hollywood let women be this complicated more often.
- Penelope is one of the best parts of Homer and I was glad the film understood that.
- Matt Damon completely surprised me. I wasn’t sold on the casting. I thought he was fantastic.
- The weariness of the film is intentional. By the time Odysseus gets home, you’re exhausted too.
- The modern language didn’t bother me at all. Stopped noticing after 10 mins.
- Circe is one of the biggest departures from Homer. Instead of simply being a witch, she’s a woman responding to violent men arriving at her home.
- The biggest change is replacing divine punishment with guilt. In Homer, Poseidon keeps Odysseus from getting home. Here, it feels like Odysseus can’t forgive himself.
- The “Sea Peoples” bit gutted me because suddenly Troy feels less like a glorious victory and more like a gross violation. Originally the sack of Troy was sanctioned by gods but here it’s the violation of Xenia (Zeus’s law) so uhhh.
- The near absence of the gods was fascinating. Because they’re talked about constantly and they’re almost never present.
- the Athena reveal scene fucked me uuuup.
- I think Nolan is using Homer to say something about modern war. PTSD, shame, veterans unable to truly come ‘home’, innocents and bystanders dealing with the consequence of war.
- Tom Holland’s Telemachus was perfect. He’s a boy raised without a father. This is his coming-of-age story too.
- Robert Pattinson is delicious. More films should let him play pathetic little men.
- I still have absolutely no idea what Nolan was doing with the Laestrygonians.

Overall:
Enjoyed. Dont go for faithfulness or education. Go to be awed.

Just watched the Odyssey in IMAX 70mm.

My 3 takeaways:

1. Indisputably the most epic and visually striking film I've ever seen. It'll certainly win Best Picture.

2. What surprised me most: it refuses to Hollywood-ize the myth the way Troy (2004) did. The Odyssey is not a story like any other : it's how Greek society saw the world 3,000 years ago: the omnipresence of the sea, the traditions, the place of the gods. Nolan's film keeps all of it.

3. Only caveat: the pacing. The story's so dense it races through some episodes to stay under 3 hours. Some parts could've been cut to let others breathe. The Laestrygonians, for instance, land as just another epic scene if you don't know they're Poseidon's sons.

The Odyssey avoids the trap Troy fell into 20 years ago, and stays epic doing it.
