It’s so symbolic that Athena took on the appearance of her priestess, who was killed in Troy, to remind Odysseus of the cruelty that took place there…
#TheOdyseey
penelope’s entrance in the movie is the hottest thing nolan has done. her presence was so heavy it pierced the screen and i can’t even describe what i felt watching her through the lattice door, her walls up as she withstood her personal siege.. glorious visual storytelling
I woke up this morning reflecting on the fact that after all of Odysseus' cunning, plotting and strategizing, it was his final surrender to Poseidon's sea that got him home.
I took something from that – don't be complacent, but sometimes you have to let life take its course.
Yeah no The Odyssey is completely and drastically transformed on the second viewing, obviously. Immediately the first two acts feel 10x more tragic and inevitable, the pattern of violated Xenia is powerful, and it’s obvious we’re watching the terrifying Sea People from the start.
Christopher Nolan says Goya's painting of Saturn eating his son was a big inspiration for the Cyclops in ‘THE ODYSSEY’.
“[What] makes it the most frightening is that from the monster's POV, they're not a monster. We're irrelevant to them, and that's what's really scary.”
