I think the film argues that sacking a city isn't glorious, killing isn't glorious, conquering isn't glorious. loyalty, love, and shared humanity are glorious.
Saw The Odyssey last night. If you don't appreciate that film, you are an enemy of storytelling, all of Western civilization, and possibly the very concept of craft itself.
Yeah, The Odyssey. As good as promised. Starts slow but you realize why by the end and the payoff is just incredible. I know CGI was used but I couldn’t tell you where (the giant soldiers and cyclops were practical). Each sequence more harrowing than the last. The complaints about casting and accuracy and all that are absolutely laughable once you see the movie. And you should see the movie
@HibernatingMatt Also real life appreciate you for having this convo and actually hearing me out- I know conversations like this get heated but if we really care about Black and Brown togetherness conversations like this are important
@HibernatingMatt Like real talk the way you could help stop it is by educating other Hispanic ppl on black struggles and why we don’t want them saying nigga
@HibernatingMatt@WWEOverMid Do you speak Spanish? (I’m assuming you’re Latino) I would encourage you to learn Spanish and again- don’t not be friends or interact w black people but I feel like connecting more w your own culture would help and help you understand why we don’t want u saying nigga
@HibernatingMatt@WWEOverMid My point to you is the Hispanic community has a lot of anti blackness to unpack- therefore we (actual black people) are definitely gonna be hyper aware of a group who seems to hate us dying to use a word we reclaimed
@HibernatingMatt If that’s you in ya profile picture… compared to me… you’re white… and if you’re Mexican…. Like compared to some white person w/ blue eyes you’re not necessarily but compared to my black ass- and I’m just tryna be fr w u!
