My unasked-for and condensed Nolan #Odyssey thoughts: it's very much an Odyssey for our times: the epic for a cynical world that has no place for gods, myths, or heroes, but much space for PTSD and guilt over war. And that moment with the bowstring was wonderful.

I can never understand looking at nonsense online and getting enraged by it, and then reposting it so that others can be enraged. Like all this Nolan/Odyssey stuff. Don't give these people an avenue into your peace. Let the terminally online remain as such. Go find your joy.

Really good thread! I know media literacy is deeply embattled in our culture, but: it's okay to like the Nolan Odyssey movie (I did!) and it's also good and, imo, vitally important to our culture to thoughtfully critique and seek a deeper understanding around art, adaptations, retellings, etc.

I finally saw Nolan’s Odyssey, & everything Emily Wilson said was correct, especially the weirdness of an Odyssey without gods. But imo, the lack of “pagan” gods is really only one example of the broader Christian ethos that has been layered onto the Odyssey for this movie. 1/10

I'm a guy who has been a Paid Professional Movie Reviewer; I just saw the Nolan Odyssey, I liked it a whole lot more than Emily Wilson did, I think her writing here is fantastic, I'm excited to buy/read her translation of the original. See how these things are supposed to work?

I wrote about the Nolan Odyssey for the LRB. I'll summarize some of my main points below, in case you don't feel like reading all that. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

My last 4 watched with 30 minutes left in the Devil’s Mouth. Follow my Letterboxd to see the full week, reviews in alt-text. boxd.it/b3JeX #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky🎞
The Odyssey, Nolan again beings verisimilitude to timeless fantasy, and retreads The Dark Knight Rises with the classical sword and sandal OG inspiration. Bruce Wayne has much in common with the tales of brave Ulysses. 
Bonnie and Clyde—an American Odyssey that pushed cinema violence forward in a way Pauline Kael could approve.
City Lights. This movie has a lot of clever sequences, and uses sound for humor despite being arguably a silent film otherwise. The Charlie Brown adult voice makes fun of the mere idea of speaking. Chaplin masterminded it all; he even sang the score and had a composer notate his singing. The film provides the blueprint for even today’s comedies.
Masters of the Universe. The Male Barbie movie, it should have timed its release better with the Odyssey and made a go of another Barbenheimed— the Masterssey. Mattel studios formula seems to be taking the piss out of their properties while also celebrating and touching upon what people like; this take on the character while less deep than the Barbie movie in its exploration of gender, does have a theme about the main character using a non-toxic HR professional’s approach to masculinity to a world of barbaric fighting and high fantasy adventure.

Increasingly convinced the opening of The Odyssey is a callback to Planet of the Apes.
Statue of Liberty buried in sand in the final scenes of Planet of the Apes; a symbol of the end of civilisation.
The trojan horse buried in sand at the start of Nolan’s The Odyssey. Nolan argues throughout the film this was the end of Greek “bronze age” civilisation.

Christopher Nolan sparks controversy by presenting references to modern historical research in “The Odyssey.” “Nolan inserts multiple references to a historical phenomenon known as the Sea Peoples and a historical episode known as the Bronze Age Collapse.” open.substack.com/pub/mat….

This wonderful graf by @angelicabastien.bsky.social makes, IMO, an implied gesture to the backlash to MeToo. In The Odyssey, Nolan is only interested in men's experience of being *accused* of sexual violence rather than the actual sexual violence women experience. www.vulture.com/article/c….
What Nolan adapts, he flattens. What he can’t, he scrubs clean from the text. (He cuts Circe’s sexual relationship with Odysseus entirely. That Circe is a goddess as well as a witch is never made explicit either.) Without the nuances of Morton’s performance, the Circe scene as written by Nolan is rooted in men’s questionable fear of being accused of violence against women rather than the tragedy of how women navigate that very real threat to our lives. Consider how Emily Wilson’s powerful translation of Homer’s poem deliberately brings to the surface of the story that the women house-slaves on Ithaca are raped by Penelope’s suitors, obliterating any romanticized portrayal of these women as maids who willingly take these men into their beds. In Nolan’s rendition, the threat of sexual violence never quite materializes for Penelope and her slaves, nor for any woman in the story. There is a way to address sexual violence and loss of power without having a cold, traumatizing scene directly demonstrating it. And in eliding that reality of war entirely, Nolan reconstitutes Odysseus’s men as the greatest victims of violence.

I don't know what I expected from a Christopher Nolan Odyssey movie but the fact that in reality there are no stakes at all because you know he's making it home the whole time and then the final scene where he defeats 50 dudes single handed is the dumbest thing I've ever seen

"Sad man sad" is a permission structure for 'sad' men to do 'sad' things with ALL THE POWER THEY WIELD. Yes, this is a Nolan Odyssey post. 'Yeah, he did terrible things, and continues to do bad things, but he feels terrible about it.' How is this compelling?
