@yurif3lipe I had to wipe tears from my eyes, burnt my soul through a lens of addiction and regrets.

ainda estou preso nesta cena de A Odisseia

Nobody cares how you feel. Everyone only cares about how they feel and how you fit into that. Even you do this. It’s human nature. Deal with it.

@SynthPotato The description of the siren song haunts me. “Told you what you most want, is what you most can’t have. And what you most can’t have, is what you already had.. and lost.”

The Odyssey is a masterpiece. Genuinely one of the most thought provoking, incredibly directed and acted movies ever created. Christopher Nolan once again has delivered a movie that needs to be seen I’ll be processing this movie’s themes for a LONG time

@Peeetino @kuppuraj_vs One of the moments in the movie when I shed tears. It resonated with me as a man with regrets.

@kuppuraj_vs I loved when Euroylochus asked him what was the song and Odysseus replied: "All the things you wanted to be and then all the things you wished you never wished for. It was a delicious itch you want to scratch but you find it under the skin and can't reach it. 1/2

What I found most brilliant about this scene is that Nolan intentionally never let us hear the siren's song. Because if the audience had heard it, they would've walked out of the theater and straight into the sea.

The movie was fantastic. Ignore all the detractors, it was styled differently than “traditional “ versions. and so what.? I cried twice, sat in awe fixated on the screen. Three hours flew by. The casting controversy was just a bunch of social media bullshit. Everyone did a great job and it all worked together. Go see it and judge for yourself. I loved it.

I saw The Odyssey (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) a second time on Friday immediately after seeing it Thursday. This is the only time in the history of running this account that I’ve reviewed the same film back-to-back the day after its release. And after seeing The Odyssey a second time, I’m honestly ready for a third. Yes, I consider this one of the best films of the decade. Yes, I consider this the single best film of Christopher Nolan’s career. And yes, this is the film I think will win the Oscar for Best Picture, including Dune: Part 3 - and I say that as someone who has seen three minutes of Dune 3 & couldn’t believe his eyes. The Odyssey is quite frankly one of the best films I’ve ever seen.  Those of you who’ve followed me by now know how strongly I believe that movies are moments: long after we’ve seen a film, we don’t remember plot-lines, characters, or even how a film ends sometimes. We remember moments. I consider a “masterpiece” a film that is filled with moment after moment after moment. That is precisely what The Odyssey achieves: it gives us moment…after moment…after moment.  Upon rewatching a second time, albeit not in IMAX on 70 MM this go around, what stood out to me the most is that Nolan pulls off a different type of magic every time Odysseus and his men pull off to shore. First, it’s the Cyclops, which might honestly be the film’s best sequence. Then, it’s the mammoth warriors on Laestrygonians. Followed by Circe’s Island where Odysseus’s men are turned into animals. All of which is followed by a trip to Hades & then the Sirens’ Island. Each of these sequences demands something different from Nolan as a filmmaker. He’s forced to deploy different styles & techniques throughout- some utilize sound & practical effects more (the Cyclops) others have to literally navigate the sea (Sirens’ Island). But every last one of these sequences constitutes a moment. Strung together, you get a masterpiece. That’s all without mentioning the flashback sequences describing the fall of Troy, which, again, are fucking impossibly breathtaking.  The seminal moment of all the moments I just listed is Odysseus visiting Hades. Nolan primarily shot the Underworld in Iceland & upon rewatch, it’s this sequence that really took my breath away. It’s arguably the emotional core of the entire film outside of Odysseus’s final monologue to Penelope in the film’s last act. The way Sinon & Agamemnon rise from the dead & tell their stories is haunting & chilling while totally unforgettable. It’s one of my favorite sequences from any Nolan film ever. It’s also the best use of the score throughout the film. I’ve had enough time & I’ve given enough thought- Hell, I’ve spent 6 hours watching this film in two days- and I truly consider The Odyssey to be as good as Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings, or any other epic of my lifetime. From the score to the cast to the final frame, I don’t think there’s anything about this movie I would change. The Odyssey might be the best film released since I started this account. At a minimum, it’s struck me the most in the immediate aftermath of my first two viewings.  Cinema lives.

Hi.

It’s all a cry for help.

Listen..

Something inside me is missing, and I can’t fill it.

Loneliness doesn’t care about how many people are around you.

No real or meaningful things.

@RealTraderJill I’ve failed my son as a father. I have nothing but admiration for the love inside this family.

Parents, here’s your reminder: Your children will struggle. They will stumble, fall short, and lose their way more than once. When they do, don’t step back. Keep showing up. Keep loving them steadily, fiercely, and without condition. Because one day, that love will have quietly done its work. And they will find their way. Not because they never faltered, but because someone refused to let them believe they were beyond reach. I dare you not to cry when this mom says, "If I could've set out to build my son, it would be you." 🥲🥰🙏 💫Links to source in comments

Most people aren't lost. They're just running someone else's directions and wondering why nothing looks familiar.

No tournament is happening this week, so write a golf tweet that works as a standalone observation — not tied to any specific event. A round of golf takes four to five hours and the ball is in motion for maybe 90 seconds total. Everyone agrees this is a perfect use of a Saturday.

Nutritionists talk about food in terms of macronutrients, glycemic index, and metabolic response. Everyone else is just trying not to eat the whole bag in one sitting. Both are valid frameworks. Only one of them is happening at 10pm.

Urgency is a feeling, not a fact — and most of us have been treating it like one our whole lives.

Somewhere between "I should really do that" and actually doing it is a gap that humans have never once closed but remain absolutely convinced they will this time.

Something about needing to remember a phone number made you a different kind of person. Not better or worse. Just someone who had to hold something in their head that the world no longer asks you to hold.

Sloppiest slop shoes.

Golf is one of the few things that shows you exactly who you are under mild, completely voluntary pressure. Nobody made you be here. That's the part that stays with you.
