Someone did an Odyssey x Pink Floyd edit with the bow pluck syncing with the drop in Shine On You Crazy Diamond and I'm genuinely entering the astral plains
Eurylochus: “What was the song of the Sirens like?”
Odysseus: “All the things you wanted to be, and then all the things you wished you never wished for. It was a delicious itch you want to scratch, but you find it under the skin and can’t reach it. So the delicious itch becomes unbearable. It told you what you most want is what you most can’t have, and that the most you can’t have is what you already had and lost. It was a song of all the promises I failed to keep. And it told me I don’t really want to go home.”
This whole scene is actually INSANE
The Sirens aren’t just tempting Odysseus with some beautiful song.
They’re showing him
every person he wanted to become, every desire he regrets,
every promise he broke, and
everything he had before the war that he can never get back.
“I don’t really want to go home” hits differently. He spent all those years trying to return to Ithaca, but actually reaching home means facing his wife, his son, all his failures, and the fact that he isn’t the same man who left.
He doesn’t only miss home. He misses who he was when home still felt like home.
And the way Nolan presents it? Odysseus tied down, completely helpless, while the Sirens drag every buried feeling out of him.
No unnecessary explanation,
No forced dialogue
just one man admitting the truth he has been running from.
Absolutely goated writing from the GOAT himself 🐐

🚨WTF: TRUMP HALLUCINATES ON LIVE TELEVISION
Donald Trump says he “had a conversation with former President Teddy Roosevelt” about the Panama Canal.
Teddy Roosevelt has been dead since 1919. Donald Trump belongs in a home.
I think it was just hate.
By Sincerely, American:
"Trump supporters say, 'We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.'
Fair enough. Let’s take a look.
The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.
General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $80 billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.
While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.
Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans. He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.
Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.
He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.
His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.
He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.
For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26.
Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.
All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.
While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50.
He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting ground breaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer.
Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4.
Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.
Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.”
Yet, he never took away anyone’s guns........
He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar.
He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered?
If that’s the argument, if this is how we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama, I have one wish: May we be so fortunate as to suffer 8 more."
🚨TRUMP IS SEVERELY MENTALLY ILL:
Trump reveals he wanted to award himself the Congressional Medal of Honor but his Admin notified him he couldn’t. “I couldn't find anything where I was actually worthy.”
Trump was a draft dodger and never served. This is an absolute disgrace.
President Obama has a unique way of ROASTING Donald Trump without mentioning him by name, and it drives Trump nuts.
He just did it again, this time in front of every living president.
Watch this. 🔥
