Roger Ebert famously said a movie should be evaluated for what it is & how fully it achieves its director’s vision. It’s unfair to criticize a film for not being the movie you wish the director had made. Emily Wilson can’t seem to forgive Nolan for not making her version of the film.

In the original Greek version of Jurassic Park by Homer, Hammond was more of a con artist, but Spielberg interpreted him into a completely different character.

THEORY: The Cyclops design in Nolan's Odyssey is not random because his face is secretly telling the whole story.

​Look at that nose again. It is not just a nose. The shape, the shadowing, the way it drops straight down from the brow, that is not anatomy, that is a hand. A fist, pointing down.

​Why would Nolan, a director obsessed with visual motifs like the spinning top, the hourglass, and recursive corridors, hide a downward hand in the Cyclops face?

​Because Polyphemus is Poseidons son. And in the myth, the whole curse that dooms Odysseus ten year voyage comes from Poseidon reaching down from the sea to punish him.

​A gods hand, pressing down. Fate closing in.

​Nolan does not do jump scares. He does inevitability. Every one of his villains is a countdown you can not stop, whether it is Jokers plans, the Tenet inversion, or the black hole in Interstellar. A hand crushing down through the Cyclops own face would be exactly his kind of quiet, architectural horror where the punishment is already written into the monster anatomy before Odysseus even blinds him.

​Also, the single eye sits where a human forehead would, meaning the hand nose is positioned almost like it is pinning the eye in place. Holding him down. Or holding us down, staring, unable to look away.

​Nolan built a 60 foot practical puppet for this. Every inch of that face was sculpted on purpose.

GEEZ-LOUISE!! “THE ODYSSEY” is looking at a massive 2nd-weekend take of $84.5 MILLION DOMESTIC, beating Nolan’s 2nd-week take of “OPPENHEIMER” ($82.4m) in 2023! Should pass $500 MILLION WORLDWIDE by Sunday! How many times did YOU see “THE ODYSSEY,” so far?

Christopher Nolan explains the idea behind “Zeus’ Law” in THE ODYSSEY:

“When you leave the house, you are depending on the kindness of strangers, and you have to trust that when you arrive somewhere after weeks or months of traveling, that you will be fed, you will be given water. Three thousand years ago, that was everything. You were always at the mercy of strangers.”

So the thing is: Nolan’s Scylla clearly looks like a *hand.* In a glove. Try it yourself.

The horror of this attack is the horror of deliberate divine judgment plucking some lives and not others. That’s the brilliance of this monster design.

@NolanAnalyst I would like to see a western like “The Searchers” style.

Cillian Murphy pays tribute to ‘PEAKY BLINDERS’ co-star, Sam Neill:

« Like everyone who knew and worked with Sam, I admired him and adored him in equal measure. He was one of the kindest, funniest and gentlest people, and one of the finest actors. RIP. »

[Russell Crowe @russellcrowe]

Sam Neil.

Kind, wise, impish, graceful, warm.

The last time I saw him I took the opportunity to tell him he was an inspiration to me.

Rest in Peace Sam.

PRINCESS MONONOKE turns 29 today.

When Harvey Weinstein demanded major cuts for the U.S. release, Hayao Miyazaki reportedly sent him a samurai sword with a simple message: “No cuts.”

It was released essentially intact.
