Matt Damon revealed his stunt double in ‘The Odyssey’ was a woman.
“My double was a woman, a female stunt performer who had the greatest arms I’ve ever seen. When she came into the catering tent, it was the first time I met her. I went up and hugged her and thanked her for all the work she put in.”
Historical accurate armor….
Imma stick with that cool shit Nolan came up with how the armor look
Also for historical sake hire 5ft 4 - 6 inch actors
average height for that time period
Imagine an Odyssey:
>Spoken in ancient greek
>Recorded with historically accurate armor
>With greeks cast in it
>No cringe rap videos
>Actually loyal to the source material
Elon Musk might make this a reality by funding Gibson
Freedom of speech and expression that’s what so great about this country! It’s your first amendment right that you don’t gotta stand up for the national anthem
on the one hand, it is incredibly disrespectful to not stand for the National Anthem
on the other hand, we provide freedoms in this country for people to sit, kneel, or stand during the Anthem
on the third hand, some people need to experience consequences in their life
on the fourth hand, this was a beautiful rendition of the Anthem
what say you?
“Historically accurate” would mean Bronze Age trash looking armor, darker Mediterranean complexions, sun-tanned sailors, and clear Near Eastern and North African influence.
So woke shit got it
But let’s be honest that’s not what they about to do
“Grounded” doesn’t mean “historically identical in every casting choice,” and adaptation doesn’t mean photocopying Homer line for line. My guy, it’s the Mediterranean, not upper Europe, stop bitching and acting like a victim because every actor doesn’t match your white utopia
Nolan strips the gods out of The Odyssey entirely. Only goddesses show up, and then only as PTSD hallucinations. Nolan’s apologists will say that he did this because he was going for a more “grounded” film. Oh okay. So then why does Ancient Greece have the demographic makeup of Los Angeles circa 2026? Why is there a tiny little woman running around pretending to be a dude? Why is there an Asian guy delivering the line “we’re Greeks from Ithaca”? Grounded? Really? Grounded in what? The apologists are letting Nolan have his cake and eat it too, like always.
By your dumb-ass logic, ancient thespians who performed in plays from Ancient Greek to medieval times in female roles as men were woke too!
All the “woke” shit y’all complain about is less than 10 minutes of the movie. Lord in heaven, stop bitching. Victim mentality!
I have not seen The Odyssey yet, so I can’t give my final verdict on it. All I will say is that these “actually the movie isn’t woke” takes from conservatives strike me as implausible. Casting a self-mutilated trans-identifying female as a male warrior is one of the wokest things any mainstream film director has ever done in a movie, by any objective measure. It’s hard to imagine any context that could somehow make that choice not woke.
