@ErothPathak@FearedBuck He’s an amazing filmmaker, but a completely accurate adaptation of Homer would be shit. I suspect, even if given a blank cheque, Gibson would have the wisdom not to produce it
@AlejandroYRodr@KeithWoodsYT I believe it does both inspire and innovate; of course this is subjective. I think that you’re being a little protective of a story that is as old as any and has been read and interpreted by millions over time. I wonder if your reaction is downstream of the awkward race casting
@movie__maniac They are a people who have become turbo-defensive and have begun using iron to bolster their defence. They represent the new age of iron that comes from the collapsing age of bronze, they represent also the antithesis to xenia (zeus’ law), which we find was started by Odysseus
@Arno57119Arnold@KeithWoodsYT I think it’s impressive how the events as played out in the book are played out almost 1 for 1 in the film. (Besides some minor ommissions for timing). I find it incredible how Nolan was able to do a reevaluation, a truly novel adaptation, while staying so faithful to the events
@AlejandroYRodr@KeithWoodsYT The poem will always exist, as will the scores of other adaptations. Why is it foolish to welcome the wealth of interpretation?
@KeithWoodsYT It is striking how pagan the morals of the original poem are. Keeping precisely to the text may be cool but this would have a niche appeal. The choice to christianise Odysseus works well and is palatable to the modern audience. I don’t think this is some betrayal,it’s just modern
