@johncocozza @Eval_00 Your taste is so cheap man . Sorry but less is more in this case.

@Ragdefender2 @Eval_00 Its called being Lazy because you have zero creativity.. Foggy rocks. OMG so brilliant to do with a 250 million dollar budget..

I don't get this scene #Odysseus #odyssey Why was he tied up Like he was some jesus. Did they torture him or something?🤔

@JorgeGomezOrtiz @WerwulfFan Is he a Chinese spy???

@WerwulfFan Dear Mr Lmfaoooo: You are another obssessed with this topic It's funny to read

Nolan's "The Odyssey" is a box office flop. It cost roughly $250M to produce and they spent another $100M on marketing. It hasn't even made $350M at the global box office yet. Lmfaooooo

@MemeOfSteel_ Moana- did they give us any reason to believe the live action is better than the original? Supergirl- just wasn’t that good. Give us a more interesting villain.

What did The Odyssey and Project Hail Mary get right that Moana and Supergirl didn't, even with similar budgets?

@fdyahayu @pattinsonphotos Leave it to Edward to deny that anybody rooted for Jacob.

@pattinsonphotos Boo. You forgot how world divided into team jacob and edward back then?!

Robert Pattinson on how funny it was to play Antinous, a character no one is rooting for in THE ODYSSEY: “It’s kind of like playing Jacob in Twilight” 🤭.

@nonregemesse Symbolically, that they are the people from the sea that have been attacking the Greeks?

I still can’t get over the absurdity of having a Greek man speak in Greek to an Indian who can’t understand him but then says ‘we’re Greeks from Ithaca’. What was Nolan thinking?

@12gee_man I have heard it from many others as well. It is harder to make people laugh than to make them cry.

Christopher Nolan says he’s terrified of directing a rom-com because comedy gives you nowhere to hide. If audiences don’t understand one of his films, he can think, “They just don’t get it,” but if a comedy doesn’t make people laugh, it’s obvious it didn’t work. I think doing a rom-com would be incredibly difficult. I love those. I love watching those movies, but no. I think comedy, like people who direct comedy, people who do comedy, I think that’s one of the hardest things in the world. To make people laugh that way, particularly the risk-taking. When you make a film, if I show a film to people and maybe they don’t respond to bits of it, I’m like, “Ah, they don’t get it,” you know, whatever. There’s no hiding behind that when you do comedy. So I would be terrified of doing anything like that. [laughs]

@aderayo_xo1 Would it have been interpreted as a peace offering if they didn’t even go to war?

@Ragdefender2 Why wouldn’t it work ?

Why did Odysseus and his crew wait so long before doing the Trojan horse plan? Why didn’t they just do that on the first day?

@RANDOMOCITY327 @ShitpostRock And she isnt one of them!

@ShitpostRock What the hell does she mean 'We'. Hes talking about 2 individual women.

''Tifa is this sexy little thing who wears a short skirt'' I was not familiar with your game Robert Pattison

@Critical_Scribe Platetectonics!

Japan, famously known for its location in the Mediterranean Sea.

@welovesweetboy_ Why is Batman in the Odyssey?

agamemnon died naked, but the fit was so fire he carried it to the underworld

@aderayo_xo1 @YourfaveTati It was actually Athena’s idea.

@YourfaveTati Hmm you sure ?

@TouchlineRc In the movie, he explains to his wife that he was afraid to go home because of the guilt from violating Zeus’s law with the sacking of Troy.

How did Menelaus make it back to Sparta before Odysseus? Both left Troy at the same time, yet Menelaus returned years earlier while Odysseus spent a decade struggling to reach Ithaca. Was it simply because Poseidon singled Odysseus out, or was Menelaus also making better decisions along the way? What’s the biggest reason for the difference?

@johncocozza @Eval_00 He chose not to show them (up close) for the same reason he chose not to let us hear the actual song. Because nothing he could have put forward could have beaten our imagination of it.

@Eval_00 Just the fact that Nolan chose not to show the Sirens, one of the most notable and memorable parts of Homer's The Odyssey is a giant FAIL... One of the many reasons why this movie is definitely a 5.0 to 5.8. Way too many misses.

@maximusbillz @DrewPavlou Not once you see it. Sinon was a commoner that a lord paid to take his son’s place in a draft. He symbolized the weak and marginalized that got dragged into the war.

@DrewPavlou I’ll probably see it at some point but cannot get over Ellen (Eliot) Page. It’s such an egregious violation of common sense.

Okay, I've seen The Odyssey twice now, and I've been thinking a lot about it. I think there's actually a secret right wing chud core to the movie. Odysseus's response to a bunch of uninvited guests worming their way into his home and abusing his hospitality is to just brutally slaughter them in a massacre which is portrayed as completely justified and righteous. Yes, Nolan made a few small woke casting decisions which took up like 5 minutes of screen time. Then, while everyone was distracted debating Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong'o, Nolan managed to smuggle this extremely chud reactionary ending into the movie. Maybe Nolan doesn't even realise how much of a chud he was being with this - it could legitimately be a subliminal or unconscious act. I remember Slavoj Zizek complained that the Nolan Batman films subliminally endorsed the logic of the War on Terror years - that a kind of unconscious reactionary ideology permeated the films. Maybe the same thing happened here. Nolan said that the film is actually all about the importance of welcoming strangers. But the corollary to this is that when strangers abuse their welcome they can be summarily expelled with massive force and violence. Isn't this basically the most chud message possible? Odysseus was basically 1000 times more brutal than ICE but he's portrayed as a righteous hero regaining his masculinity and saving his family. I am not endorsing violence or saying that we should be inspired by this. But I am just saying that it complicates efforts to portray the film as completely woke. Odysseus is ultimately exiled, so I guess the slaughter is still presented as a crime he must answer for. But he and Penelope are shown heading out into the unknown West, smiling, happy, fulfilling their long held dreams. In this regard it's not much of a punishment. He kills all his enemies, installs his favoured son as king, then rides off into the sunset. The last lines are literally: ''Civilisation will rise again. A new dawn will break over the darkened world, When our mistakes will once again be forgotten.'' After almost a century of Westerners cowering in self-hatred, endlessly interrogating their own supposed evil, is Nolan saying that the West will rise to fully assert itself once again? I actually really like the movie. I think it is genuinely not possible to completely typecast it as fully left or right. Obviously some of the casting decisions were woke for the sake of being woke, but there remains a right wing chud impulse that courses through the film, as it does through so much of Nolan's other work. Possibly operating on the level of the unconscious, beyond anything Nolan himself might intuit. These are my preliminary draft thoughts - will publish my full review tomorrow

@JohnSte01866118 @MattHodgkinson4 Because it made the ending with Antinous more impactful.

@MattHodgkinson4 Okay... Answer this pls... Why? Why not do Achilles? It makes far more sense with the underworld scene. The king of corpses line would have landed so well and added real stake to the film, same with his mother. Page was not bad though but it could have been much more

Just tell me you didn't pay attention to the movie without telling me you didn't. Elliot is Sinon and was never stated to be Achilles and also the whole point of his character is that he isn't meant to be a warrior and he was conned into joining

@ThePatrioticDog Basically Sinon was asked by Odyseus to stay behind and die. Its dark but it kinda makes sense that you do this to your weakest soldier.

Elliot (Ellen) Page, visibly having difficulty holding herself up with fake armor. Like watching a toddler struggling through the desert. If Christopher Nolan wanted to go woke, he could’ve at least given Ronda Rousey a haircut, and casted her as Achilles instead. Part of story telling, is that you can walk the line between fiction and the tangible world. In what universe does a 100lb, tiny, and sickly female become the center of Homer’s Iliad, the center of a 10 year Trojan War, where he defeated over 20 Trojan cities, defeated the Trojan champion Hector in single combat, and slayed both the Amazon Queen Penthesilea and the Ethiopian King Memnon? It’s not even remotely believable. In typical Hollywood fashion, Nolan will carry this movie’s box office performance with his name and resume alone. Another cheap payday. Maybe they won’t see the financial implications instantly, but this is yet another reason why Hollywood fatigue is real, and the industry as a whole, is in serious decline. Boycott The Odyssey.

@tanishkabhonsle Why use such a cliche tone?

Watched Odysseus in IMAX as someone who barely watches movies. The animation and sound design? Absolute cinema. But hated hearing "Dad." You're telling me we're in ancient Greece and nobody could find a more mythical way to address a father?

@KevinStasun @yowtfahhh What is your point? You're ok with effects looking fake just because its fantasy creatures?

@Ragdefender2 @yowtfahhh That’s not the point. At all.

I really thought the silver giants were CGI but nolan used real 7ft men, and that wasn't even Matt Damon, it was a 5ft woman 😭
