#TheOdyssey translator Emily Wilson slams Christopher Nolan's movie over "abysmal" writing: “I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.”
“Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ lacks many of the elements that make the poem great. It has nothing convincing to say about time, memory, history, war, or bout the relationship between one warrior’s glorious return and the lives of his family, adversaries, comrades, friends and neighbors. It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words. There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.” (via London Review of Books/The Guardian).
