Me and my friends were discussing The Odyssey right after seeing it and I said “I wonder why Nolan chose to never show Agamemnon’s face” to which my friend replied, “Because he’s Benny Safdie”
Its so obvious why Nolan immediately made Jennifer Lame and Göransson his go-tos for editing and score after this movie. Their work is integral to the language of his last three films lol
Zendaya's Athena doesn't have more than five minutes of screentime in The Odyssey, but damn are they effective. The final reveal *why* her human form looks the way she does was utterly heartbreaking and the most emotionally resonant scene of the movie. Zendaya is simply terrific.
if Oppenheimer was concerned with the final gasp of modern civilization, this is concerned with the rot at the core. self-destruction is only in our nature. the greatest, most emotionally potent anti-war statement of a generation hidden in an actual miracle of spectacle
Nolan pretty clearly views the Trojan Horse as the ancient equivalent of the atomic bomb. That last line almost leads directly into Oppenheimer.
Has me very curious on what he does next.
