I haven’t seen @odysseymovie yet but from what I can tell from seeing people’s comments about it, it looks like a movie you can enjoy when you take off your political tainted glasses. #theodyssey#christophernolan
@MimiKoko_vt I remember reading something interesting about how men are drawn to breasts because they nourished them as babies, or something like that idk 🤷♂️
This has made me realize how important Homer’s Odyssey is to Greek culture, and Greek culture and history play a pivotal role is all mankind. This shows the true mockery of a culture that is so crucial to the world. Hollywood is trash
Today I learned that in Nolan’s movie "Odyssey," there is a line: "Sinon was the greatest warrior among the Greeks." Sinon is not mentioned in Homer at all, and in the film he is played by a woman. Now look at what’s happening. We Greeks are forced to listen to barbarians telling us that the movie is amazing, while watching our Greek civilization being mocked on screen, and being told that the greatest warrior of the Greeks is Sinon, played by a woman.
In other words, we Greeks are forced to watch a film based on our own history and our ancestors, and if we disagree with what we see or get angry about it, then we are called racists and puppets of Elon Musk. That’s what they tell us.
So from now on, the purpose of my life will be to turn as many people as possible against all those academics and classicists who supported this abomination, this thing that mocks Greek culture, takes the greatest and most important Greek epic poem, and turns it into a "fairy tale."
No, it is not a fairy tale. It is our Greek history. They are our Greek ancestors. And we have every right to express our opinion, to demand proper representation in the casting, and to demand that Greek academics and historians oversee the script and the historical authenticity of films that exploit Greek civilization to make money in our name.
Enough with the exploitation, the propaganda, and the distortion.
