As people become increasingly illiterate, aesthetics will matter even more. The way things look wordlessly shapes and teaches a person, either for better or worse.

@Not_Sauron_ Considering the OP’s profile…anyone trying to reason with this person is wasting their time.

Serkis knows what specific audience he wants to attract and he’s going for it — it just so happens that it’s the same audience unwilling to recognise that Tolkien describes Samwise as “brown skinned”.
Fellowship of Fans 🐎@FellowshipFans

🚨Andy Serkis on the lack of diversity in the casting for ‘The Hunt for Gollum’: "Tolkien himself was influenced a lot by Norse mythology, there's a lot of that feeling. The Shire feels very, very much like a very, a very white, you know…" "They're not very concerned about what goes on beyond the borders of The Shire, but they know they don't want people coming in. "Yes, there have been criticisms," he says, acknowledging arguments that are now almost a quarter of a century old. "This particular film is somewhat acknowledging that. But we don't think we will be doing a politically correct just-casting-for-the sake-of-casting-and-ticking-boxes version of the film. So, it's only where relevant basically." Via @BBC

@MapEffects The placement of the map could be quite important though. I love the Mysterious Island by Jules Verne and I wish there was a map of the island in the book. But it would have to be toward the end of the book or else much of the mystery would be spoiled.

@JoshuaBarzon A love for art. My mom did stained glass and painting and she always encouraged me in my artistic obsessions 😁

@MapEffects Makes it feel more like waves building on the shore, rather than just a boundary zone. The non-gradual hatching looks like a “this is my territorial waters” modernist political map to me.

This simple change can make the coastlines on your fantasy maps feel much more natural.

First thoughts on The Odyssey. There is a scene at the very beginning of the film in which, in the absence of his father, Telemachus is being trained by the blind Eumaeus, Odysseus’s loyal servant. Eumaeus warns that the reason Telemachus is constantly being bested by his sparring partner is that his defense is too quick. He must move more slowly, open his chest, invite the attack, and use his opponent’s momentum against him. In the spirit of Odysseus, deep trickery is at work in this film. Don’t let the apparent compromises fool you. The Odyssey is an absolute triumph. It is made with a profound love for the source material, filled with deep pathos: the return of the father, the elevation of the son, and the restoration of proper order despite all the sins perpetrated by the guardians of that order. It is a film about the end of one world and the beginning of another; about remembrance, return, and the perpetuation of an order after a long wandering through chaos. It’s The Odyssey.

@MapEffects @PageauJonathan Yes, and she caused the downfall of the movie too, regardless of the brilliance some people want to see in her politically motivated mental illness. I will never support such a thing; it's not ethical.

An by the way, the casting of "Eliott" Page is absolutely brilliant. A masterstroke actually.

@SinGameforce @jgreenhall My guess is that as a surface level film…it’s not great. But Nolan being Nolan managed to work in some profound symbolism that Pageau is lapping up … and Chris and Alan simply missed. But…from a pure entertainment perspective, I trust these two more.
