@fandompulse Millions of people are experiencing nervous breakdowns because of the tone of skin of a fictional character. I doubt the ancient Greeks would've been impressed by the strength and resilience of modern Western civilization 😁
Christopher Nolan, responding in Time magazine this week to the avalanche of criticism over his Odyssey casting choices:
"Hopefully they'll enjoy the film, even if they don't agree with everything. We had a lot of scientists complain about Interstellar. But you just don't want people to think that you took it on frivolously."
He built a real seaworthy ship, shot entirely on 70mm IMAX, and spent $250 million. Is Nolan being dismissed too quickly, or did his casting choices earn the backlash?
@spartanfiles_ The controversy has nothing to do with historical accuracy. It's ideology. Some people want Greeks to be portrayed as blonde, blue-eyed Aryans because it aligns with their world view. That's why Diane Kruger, a German, is acceptable, and why Lupita Nyong'o is not.
I don’t get what’s wrong with having a black Helen in The Odyssey.
She’s already being played by one of the most gorgeous women on the planet and an Academy Award winner.

Chapeau to @bosthi for his new book. A remarkable examination of the enduring effects of war. War doesn't end with the last shot. Much like a genetically transmitted condition, it lingers in the collective psyche and marks the lives of numerous generations.
