The real Helen of Troy would have looked like Mamdani's wife, more or less. Despite all the noise about "accuracy" none of the rw chuds would be happy with this casting either.
The only film I can see that will challenge The Odyssey for scope, story, performance, direction, and score is Dune 3.
And don’t count it out. It won’t have a shaky Tom Holland, its female roles will be more fleshed out AND the commentary on the corruption of power might resonate even more strongly than an Odysseus who has learned the lessons and paid the price for his hubris, desire for power and his acts of war to earn his way back home.
But if Dune 3 can’t beat it for the Best Picture Oscar then nothing will.
The only Christopher Nolan movie I haven’t seen multiple times is Tenet. I’ve been working on the completely unique idea of ranking all of his movies again.
Does anybody think Tenet is not his worst movie?
I find it hilarious that 90 percent of bad reviews the Odyssey gets is of people who refuse to watch it. Ive seen it absolutely amazing movie 3rd best Nolan movie
You have a masters in literature and are an idiot. When something is adapted from existing material for entertainment purposes creative freedom is part of that. He wasn't adapting a biography it was a fairytale. It would be like getting angry at Peter Jackson for the Hobbit
There are many things that determine the success of a movie. It isn’t what it makes in the first weekend. It’s cost versus box office. The Odyssey did not break even yet and the reviews are mixed. The reason I didn’t want to see it and will not see it is because I have a Master’s in Literature. I already know I’m gonna hate it.
Anyone who tells you they enjoyed Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is telling you lies. This is not an opinion. You can take this to the bank. It is not open for debate.
They were saying that the film would flop because of the casting of Travis Scott, Elliot Page, and Lupita Nyong'o, only for it to turn out that they had some of the most stand out performances.
Less 20 minutes screentime between them, but they ate it all up and left no crumbs.
Nolan's worst movie's IMO Tenet and The Following are still better than 90 percent of the absolute dog shit movies coming out today. His best IMO Interstellar and Dark Knight arguably are the best space movie and heist movie ever made
All those Youtubers who were saying that Odyssey would flop because it's "woke" and not "accurate" must be feeling extremely stupid right now. That film was phenomenal. It will be hilarious to see how they try to heel turn and reframe their opinions
This tweet. Nolan was destroyed for casting Ledger as Joker and IMO its possible the 3rd best acting i have ever seen in a movie. DDL in TWBB and De Niro Raging Bull are the only 2 that top it
In my opinion, Christopher Nolan made the worst casting choice and I spent quite a bit of energy complaining about it.
That was in 2008 and I was so unbelievably wrong. Ever since, I have never complained about the casting if I haven’t seen the movie.
My immediate gut reaction after seeing The Odyssey (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) is to rank it fourth on Christopher Nolan’s all-time list just above Oppenheimer. Yes, I think The Odyssey is superior to Oppenheimer. Granted, I need to see The Odyssey again this weekend, but this is my immediate reaction after yesterday.
He will do a psychological horror starting Robert Pattinson it will be a retelling of the tell tale heart in which Pattinson murdered his wife and is slowly going mad.
@andyhmurray Hendrix and Ray Vaughn are in a class by themselves. Red House, Little Wing, Purple Haze for Hendrix and Ten Pin Alley, Texas Flood, Pride and joy for Vaughn
