Ustedes me ven muy tranquilo pero en realidad estoy pensando en el pobre de Polifemo muy tranquilo con sus ovejas y su pequeño emprendimiento de quesos hasta que de pronto llegan unos pinches griegos violentos a joderle la vida.
El Odyseo de Nolan sólo es el típico soldado gringos que se siente triste por haber matado gente a propósito en un país al otro lado del mar. Es solo la cosmovisión gringos sobre saturada de hollywood por lágrimas de cocodrilo
Why do Americans need their protagonist to be perfect and regret bad things they did? Odysseus never ONCE shows remorse about Troy, he is extremely arrogant with a giant ego and at the same time very funny, clever and resourceful. Nolan stripped everything away from him.
Not sure why Christopher Nolan doesn't think the "Nobody" pun doesn't translate to modern dialogue. The Odyssey's "Nobody" pun might be nearly 3,000 years old yet remains one of the most famous literary tricks in human history. It holds up today because it is simultaneously a simple joke, linguistic genius, and adds to Odyssyeus's hubris.
There's even another layer to this trick. Odysseus knows he can't out muscle this guy. By stripping his name and becoming "Nobody", Odysseus proves that identity and strength are meaningless without intellect.
After defeating the Cyclops, Odysseus (safe on his ship) let's his ego gets the best of him. He can't stand even his "Nobody" alter ego getting the credit, so he screams his real name back at the Cyclops to let him know who really did this to him.
And of course, now that the cyclops knows it was really Odysseus, prays to Poseidon using his real name. Which in the poem, catches Odysseus a 10 year prison sentence out at sea.
The "Nobody" joke is insanely multilayered and the real punchline is Odysseus can't stand Nobody taking credit for his exploits.

Me da mucho pinche sentimientoooooo wey. Son morritos bien chiquitos cumpliendo sus sueños con el poder de la amistad. Me valen verga los años de bullying que viví con tal de saber que algún día los otakus iban a estar okay 😭
