The Rat sees what’s in front of it 🐀 the universe is an egg 🥚

As an archaeologist of ancient Greece, I finally saw the Odyssey yesterday

All I can say is "Fucking WOW"

I could nitpick for hours about the armor and architecture. I could praise with detailed comparanda the jewelry and pottery and a range of interior decoration. I could find a thousand deviations from the original epic poem and another thousand reasons it stayed true to Homer's story. I could give zero shits about the skin color of the cast

But talk about cinematic storytelling! The perfect musical score (inspired by Albanian polyphony and folk music), the epic battles and elaborately filmed monsters, and all the super well-done at-sea moments. The dialog was sometimes heavy handed (even cheesy) but that suits for an epic myth in any era

But overall. It was just a lot of fun to watch. The Cyclops was scary, Calypso's lotus was tempting, and the final battle was fucking intense. Good chance we go and see it a second time. Definitely go IMAX (we just went to a normal IMAX, not 70mm) for the larger screen and deeper sound

Plus, Circe and the pigs was the best fairy tale-esque scene I've ever seen. Absolutely phenomenal

[Touchline Tips @TouchlineRc]

Yes. In Greek mythology, Calypso’s isolation is not simply a personal choice, it is part of her fate.

Calypso, whose name means “the Concealer” or “She Who Hides,” lives on the remote island of Ogygia. The myths portray Ogygia as being so far from the world of gods and mortals that almost no one ever reaches it by accident.

Ogygia is her assigned home. The Odyssey presents Ogygia as Calypso’s dwelling, where she lives largely alone with only immortal nymph attendants. She does not appear to travel freely among Olympus or the mortal world.
She is separated from the Olympian gods. Although Calypso is a divine nymph (often described as the daughter of the Titan Atlas), she isn’t one of the ruling Olympian gods. She exists on the fringes of the divine world, and her island reflects that separation.
She is bound by divine authority. When Odysseus arrives, Calypso desperately wants him to stay forever, even offering him immortality. But once Zeus orders his release through Hermes, she has no choice but to obey. This shows that despite being immortal, her freedom is limited by the will of the higher gods.

i love this song but it must be weird to be the 2nd-best rihanna impersonator in your own marriage

ter bons atores faz toda a diferença pq o amor entre odysseu e penélope é fundamental pra audiência torcer (e acreditar) na jornada dele e nessa única cena a anne e o matt passaram amor melancolia desespero e intimidade perfeitamente é de longe o melhor casal em um filme do nolan

They had to keep Agamemnon’s face hidden because underneath the Aura Armour™️ it’s just a lil cutie patootie

[✨🌺🍄K🍄🌺✨ @flankake100]

Realizing that Nolan reflected the brutality of what Odysseus did to the Cyclops in how the Laestrygonians treated he and his men. No questions asked, straight to needless brutality on tired folk just trying to seek hospitality / rest. The giants of Laestrygon were his karma.

And not even a pretty beach either 😭 shit looked rocky and desolate as hell

[Classical Studies Memes @CSMFHT]

Homer: Calypso's home was so beautiful that the god Hermes actually had to stop a full minute to take it all in.

Nolan: beach

[ꪜ𝖎𝔃𝔃𝔂 ✞ @sntvizzy]

Wild detail people miss, Nolan cuts almost every god from actually appearing. Zeus is just thunder. Poseidon is just storms. Athena, played by Zendaya, seems like the one exception showing up in visions, until the ending reveals she’s actually the ghost of a priestess Odysseus’s men murdered in Troy. The gods aren’t gods here, they’re guilt.

This is the detail that recontextualizes the whole film, Zendaya’s Athena isn’t really a goddess at all, she’s revealed to be a slain Trojan priestess haunting Odysseus’s conscience. Nolan basically turned divine intervention into trauma.

[alan b. @inceptstellar]

couldn't disagree more because the choice to make circe an "ordinary" woman who is a victim of war and not a "seductress" adds a lot to her character and works perfectly within the adaptation

[emily @memilies]

knowing that she's a lesbian and he turned out to be a incredible little goblin man gives these movies an unbelievable aura in hindsight

The way this is perfect on multiple levels

[Jack @genesongs]

I loved how Agamemnon is such a silent and imposing figure in The Odyssey (2026), but in the Iliad he literally does not shut up or stop whinging for the entire story
