This is the White man that blew up on the news for kidnapping a child at the Mall. He had over 30 previous convictions but I guess his White privilege kept him out of prison.
Emily Wilson completely changes the meaning of Homer's Odyssey.
On the left is Robert Fagles' brilliant translation of Homer's epic. Reading Odysseus' conquest at Troy, you get the sense that this is a man full of glory who is proud to have conquered his enemies at Troy.
On the right is Emily Wilson's "interpretation." She downplays the glorious language in Homer's original text and somehow manages to translate αἰνότατον πόλεμον (awe-inspiring war) as "dreadful violence" to make some sort of political statement.
This is the translation that Nolan used, and this explains everything you didn't like about the movie.
Every single complaint about Nolan's Odyssey can be traced back to this godawful translation that he used.
It somehow manages to create an entirely different Odysseus than the one that Homer wrote (because Emily Wilson hates masculinity), and completely derails Matt Damon's character in the film.
Indian shows up to the gym armed like it’s 1600 Punjab and cries racism when asked to leave. Deport this fucking clown and his butter knife back his shit hole country.
Fucking sick of these bastards.
It's so unfair when they put ugly negroes in roles from classic White literature.
We should put White people in roles from classic black literature! Like, uh....
Like...

🇬🇷 En la mitología griega, Helena de Troya, hija de Zeus y Leda, se decía que era la mujer más hermosa del mundo, una belleza que más tarde fue inmortalizada como "el rostro que lanzó mil barcos".
I love how I don’t even have to see this obnoxious bitch to know she’s black and fat🙄
Another entitled Sharqueisha films herself harassing a white couple as they deplane.
“If you touch me I’m finna whup you ass” she tells the white chick when she asks what her problem is 🦧
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.

The great part about the Odyssey movie is that it exposes Hebrew Hollywood's hatred of Europe and fanatical desire to destroy our culture at its root.
Black Helen is a flagrant assault on European beauty—and every white person instinctively knows this.
The global slave revolt in morals, of Yahweh versus Zeus, of ugliness versus beauty, is coming to a head.
Lucky for us, loud-thundering Zeus who holds the aegis is ruler of heaven and earth. He will chain Yahweh-Typhon back in Tartarus and save his beloved Europa from the "Monster of Sinai."
‘The Odyssey’ star Jon Bernthal says no one was more perfect to play Helen of Troy than Lupita Nyong'o.
“For me there’s no one else in the world who could have done that, who comes with a level of beauty both inside and out.”
