Divulgando uma petição que tá rolando na gringa, ela foi feita para pressionar autoridades chinesas a investigar e punir abusadores de animais e para se criar leis que protejam os animais, já que infelizmente não existe tal lei na legislação na China.

Nolan praticamente fez Helena ser uma escrava, deixou Penélope passiva e tentada a trair o Odisseu, esvaziou o poder e a autoridade de Circe e Calipso e ainda cortou Nausícaa. E mesmo assim, ele e a Lupita chamam o Homero de misógino... Puro suco de pseudo-progressismo. :v

[Mystic Muse Studio @MysticMuseHQ]

@Eleven__11XI Because he stripped Helen of her beauty, the respect she commands, and the skills she displays in the Odyssey - and people still called the film progressive simply because a Black actress was cast in the role.

Bon appétit.

[Éliphas Lévi @EliphasLevi616]

@DragonShadows4 @great_god_pan @edwardbrgr This likely comes from Madeline Miller's book Circe, where the author portrayed Circe as a victim of sexual violence perpetrated by sailors, among other things. It is a modern retelling that became popular, and Nolan probably used it as a source to portray his Circe.

Christopher Nolan had to go to China for us to finally have a pertinent interview. He answers honestly, and that honours him, allowing us, I think, to close the debate.

His attitude is mostly one of arrogance.

The gods. His ideas about how the Greeks viewed their gods are simplistic and typical of a kind of scientific arrogance that thinks religion was there simply to answer what science could not. Entirely wrong.

Xenia. His version of Zeus’s law is absolutely a vision informed by Christianity and the Golden Rule, as if the Greeks had no morality and were waiting for Christianity to educate them, again.

Guilt. Again, Nolan treats the absence of guilt and atonement as something needing to be fixed by Christianity or post-Christian liberal guilt, as if the Greeks were too stupid to have their own set of morals.

Greatness. Maybe the most frightening part. For him, in a democracy, the great man has to be humiliated in some way and atone for his greatness, at the risk of being shunned by others. An awful message for all people of great ability: do not be yourselves, act like NPCs.

Odysseus. He is not allowed to be Odysseus. He is not an exceptionally clever and complex human being, but the hero of a boomer film about American veterans, a decent dad who was dragged against his will into a dirty war.

Hollywood. Nolan clearly states that the audiovisual language of the world is that of Hollywood, something to which I am strongly opposed, obviously.

Critics. Again, Nolan takes people for idiots and thinks they criticise his films because they recognise tropes. People at this level of analysis are usually his own fans. The distinction he makes between professional and amateur critics shows clearly that he should get an email address and a cell phone and start realising that we are no longer in 1985.

Bronze Age collapse. I am not a specialist, but it is not difficult to see that he simply put the structure of Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb onto Odysseus and the Trojan Horse. It makes for a particularly sad film.

What he did was adapt the story beats and the characters into a pure Hollywood Nolan film.

He made an adaptation of The Odyssey that ultimately denies the universe of The Odyssey. He refuses to immerse us in the strangeness of that ancient world. Federico Fellini adapted the Satyricon as science fiction, searching for a cinematic equivalent to the strangeness of the ancient world.

Nolan chose to do the exact opposite. He forced Antiquity to conform to Hollywood tropes and to his own obsessions. The result is a completely Nolanian film: grey and beige, falsely complex, arrogant, sad, humourless, filled with empty display.

Thank you @ZhugeYY for this great questions.

[GREAYWORKS MICHAEL/MIKE @MikesGreayworks]

Christopher Nolan wrote one of the most regressive, xenophobic, conservative adaptations of The Odyssey that somehow has less women than the original but because Emily Wilson is a white lady all her very valid criticisms will be dismissed online as "meh white woman complain"

[Éliphas Lévi @EliphasLevi616]

@thhouseofblack It used to be the right attacking the woman over nonsense, but now it's the left going after her just because she criticized their pet filmmaker... Holy shit, this is just exhausting...

[Éliphas Lévi @EliphasLevi616]

Antes era a direita tacando a mulher pra merda, mas agora é a esquerda fazendo a mesma coisa só porque ela ousou criticar o cineasta de estimação deles kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[blue @words_salad]

Whether you agree with her or not, the reaction to Emily Wilson's criticism of The Odyssey really shows just how many people are happy to turn their brains off and consume consume consume and get rabidly angry and dismissive/defensive when someone dares to think more critically

Custava muito fazer um Agamenon assim, em vez dessa coisa ridícula, escura e plastificada, Nolan? Um Agamenon com armadura micênica dá de dez a zero nesse cosplay de Batman de baixo orçamento.

@Bruno_Dias373 O foda é que esse perfil aí, para fazer parecer algo muito maior do que realmente é, omitiu o contexto desse recorde. Ele é interno de uma única rede de cinemas na Grécia e envolve apenas cerca de 32.000 ingressos vendidos.

https://t.co/7A44NKRAfJ

[Éliphas Lévi @EliphasLevi616]

@spetersaunders @NolanAnalyst It was an internal record within a single cinema chain in Greece, with 32,000 presale tickets sold. However, this profile omitted that context to make it seem much bigger than it actually is.

https://t.co/7A44NKR2qb

[Éliphas Lévi @EliphasLevi616]

In other words, there was indeed a record, but this profile omits all the surrounding context to lead the reader into thinking it’s something much bigger than it actually is, in a sensationalist way.

https://t.co/0AsfPI0MxW

[Éliphas Lévi @EliphasLevi616]

This person is omitting a few things here: this record, which is 32,000 tickets sold, is internal to the Village Cinemas chain and does not include all cinemas in Greece or the national total of pre-sales; the comparison with Avengers: Endgame is also limited to the same chain.

[Christopher Nolan Archives @NolanAnalyst]

THE ODYSSEY has broken Avengers: Endgame’s record for the biggest advance ticket sales ever for a film in Greece.

[Éliphas Lévi @EliphasLevi616]

@GalizaLeonardo @RespeitaCasada @thairizard Só estou dizendo o que o perfil Christopher Nolan Archives omitiu na publicação. Que esse “recorde” ocorreu apenas em uma única rede de cinema e que, sinceramente, o número é bem pequeno, levando em conta que a população grega é de 10 milhões de habitantes. Mas talvez seja maior.

[Éliphas Lévi @EliphasLevi616]

@GalizaLeonardo @RespeitaCasada @thairizard Essa informação que o CNA compartilhou, sem apresentar fonte alguma, se refere só a uma única rede de cinema e, ainda assim, foram apenas 32.000 pré-vendas, o que, sinceramente, é uma “quebra de recordes” bem pequena. :v
