@GiancarloSopo Mel Gibson recast Jesus as a 6’3” blond Finnish actor for his Passion sequel, which I’m sure this guy also has an issue with…

@Shattubatu >This is exactly why getting HRT or blocker to trans kids ASAP is so important
So the entire point of interfering with a child's hormonal development based on subjective psychological evaluations is so that they'll be more fuckable as adults? Do you not see how insane that is?
English
The difference between Hunter Schafer and Elliot Page is that she transitioned when she was 14, and he transitioned when he was 33.
This is exactly why getting HRT or blocker to trans kids ASAP is so important, and why the doctors who make them wait years for no reason are evil.

Why do male to female transition works so well while female to male transitions are absolute disasters?

@bull_feath95552 @latinedisce Does it bother you that Gibson hired a blond actor from Finland to play Jesus in his upcoming sequel to Passion of the Christ?
English
@latinedisce “Representation” was never about authenticity or fairness. It’s nakedly about white erasure and this is a clear example of that.
Non-white cultures have stories worth telling and cultures worth exploring. “We wuz” casting is just as much an insult to them as it is Europeans.

@RichardHanania Your working off the assumption that the racial composition of the cast was a conscious decision meant to signal some sort of wider ideological point, and not simply Nolan choosing actors he liked and wanted to work with.
English
On the racial casting in The Odyssey, if you're going to insert minorities, why still make Ancient Greece 80% white?
Why not just go all the way and give it the demographics of the whole world, with a third Chinese or Indian?
That would've been making a real statement that race doesn't matter.
To me, inserting minorities but making Ancient Greece overwhelmingly white is a kind of political compromise. You keep it as a "white" story but can say you checked some boxes and had representation.
It would've been braver to either 1) be historically accurate; or 2) have the courage of your convictions, say race doesn't matter, and go all the way.
Hamilton took another path, making all the Americans non-white to make a point. This seemed to anger people a lot less than what Nolan did, I think in part because the path he took was the least courageous and interesting.

@muracommie How could Patton Oswalt have worked in the industry for this long and still not understand the job of an editor?

@LostHistory9 The film posits that the violation of xenia that took place at Troy is what normalized the savagery that lead to the Bronze Age collapse. It’s not that the “sea people” were literally just Odysseus and his men. You interpreted that line too literally.
English
This legitimately pissed me off.
It would've been cool to have the Sea Peoples be another, existential threat in the film.
For context, the Sea Peoples obliterated all manner of Bronze Age civilations except 2. They were a truly immense force, not just a few dudes on three boats.
Trying to make Odysseus and his men the "Sea People" is incredibly stupid.

As I've said many times before and will say many times more; I dont care how "based" you think you are, if you pay to watch this film, you are an enemy of Western Civilisation.

The Odyssey discourse perfectly encapsulates why the right is doomed. Every right-wing chud bitched about it for months then went to see it anyway. Some are even coping that it’s secretly based. Meanwhile if Nolan had made White Wakanda he’d be seeking asylum in North Korea rn.

@UnderstanderArt No one seems to be talking about it, which didn’t bode well.

@Anc_Aesthetics That letterbox 4.3/5 and IMDB 8.3/10 are both very high for their respective sites. The metacritic audience score is literally the one outlier.
English
There's just no way the actual audience rating is 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Metacritic has the movie at a 5.3/10 user score, Letterboxd has it at 4.3 and IMDB has it at 8.3/10.
Rotten Tomatoes is removing negative reviews at the behest of the studio.
Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_Nation
The Odyssey has officially overtaken The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King on Rotten Tomatoes. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey sits at 95% reviews, edging past The Return of the King, which holds 94%. On the audience side, The Odyssey also leads so far with a 97% Popcornmeter score from verified ratings, compared to The Return of the King’s 86% audience score.

@delia_cai The Trojan Horse isn’t mentioned a single time in the Iliad. It’s mentioned in the Odyssey, but only in passing. The sacking of Troy is fully depicted in Virgil’s Aeneid, which Nolan was also adapting with his movie.

@TrippingMonke @TateTheTalisman It’s an AI edit of a screen grab from a camrip, and it’s also not Helen.

@TateTheTalisman thats edited or is that what it looks like?

@nuovofootball "Villeneuve is what people think Nolan is"
Managed to pick the one mainstream director who's even more of a midwit-bait

Lo increíblemente sobrevalorada que está su filmografía.
Se habla de Nolan como si fuese el nuevo Kubrick, ambicioso, cerebral, obsesivo. La realidad es que hace Hollywood slop con buena fotografía (casi siempre).
Villeneuve es lo que la gente cree que es Nolan.

What's most striking about the woke aspects of Nolan's Odyssey is not their inclusion but their magnitude. The casting isn't just colorblind; it's precisely, clinically "diverse." The actress who plays Helen isn't just black; she describes herself as "dark as night." Achilles, the most fearsome warrior in the world, is recast as another warrior played by a diminutive "trans" woman. Of all the great versions of the poem, Nolan chose the most feminist translation as his source text. It's all just so over the top.
The director who made one of the most conservative films of our time, The Dark Night, seems not just to have accepted the standards of his woke contemporaries but even to have exceeded them. It's puzzling, until one remembers the subject: Odysseus, the symbol of cunning, guile, trickery. Given the Academy's adoption of DEI requirements in 2024, has Nolan perhaps chosen not merely to depict but to imitate his hero?
English
@michaeljknowles @KeenanMiller7 Odysseus speaks to many characters in the underworld, not just Achilles. Nothing about Sinon's character in the movie is reminiscent of Achilles. It clearly wasn't intended to be a similar character.

@LemmeReact Circe being deathly afraid of getting raped by an Indian was part of Nolan’s commitment to realism

Saw Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” in IMAX on opening day.
It was absolutely cheeks.
He sold out for the Hollywood agenda.

@ArchitectOracle This isn’t a secret btw. Nolan talks about it openly, including with Michael Mann himself.

Christopher Nolan has always been overrated and a copycat

@youth989 @dissidentwest It's a liemax screen, not a real 70mm screen. There are over 1,800 of those, not 40.
English
@Jonmad @dissidentwest Looks like an Imax screening, the only and smallest amount of available screenings that are selling well. 40 + a few hundred of the smaller cope imax screenings selling well is not gonna save the sales for the movie.

Lmaoooooo
A whopping 3 tickets sold for the 9 pm showing of The Odyssey tonight at the theater in Spokane, Washington.
I’ve literally never seen it this empty before.
