@QTRBlackGarrett He restricted replies. That just gets a block.

Left wingers when they see an accurately adapted story

@caioprets @GlobalBoxOffice Nope, pretty much every critic said it would open well including those who didn't enjoy the movie. If you take inflation into it though, Dark Night well out performed Odyssey, so the headline isn't accurate either way.

@GlobalBoxOffice But the haters promised me it would tank like never seen before 😭😭😭

THE ODYSSEY overperformed again yesterday and recorded the biggest Tuesday ever for a Christopher Nolan film with over $21M, surpassing THE DARK KNIGHT ($20.8M).

@michaeljknowles I swear, Catholics say the stupidest things.

The best criticism of the movie is that Nolan's Odysseus simply isn't Odysseus. Nolan, like Dante, reads the story through a Christian lens. So while Homer presents Odysseus as a classic hero, Dante depicts him, along with Sinon, as a villain in the lowest depths of Hell. But Nolan wants to have it both ways. So we wind up with the confused morality of boomer liberalism and a story that ends with the protagonist feeling kind of bad but cheering up when he takes his wife on a cruise.

Denying a child of their mother and forcing them into such a situation is evil and despicable.

Nah, it's just evolution at work. The problem with western culture and capitalism is that it's been so successful we are now artificially supporting and keeping those alive who should have been removed from the gene pool due to natural selection. Now the mentally ill, the physically lazy, the emotionally repulsive and the morally corrupt are kept afloat by the success of others and don't move on.

AI needs to be blocked from presenting itself as any type of romantic partner This is just... sad and unhealthy

Yet they're making it harder and harder for content creators to make any money.

@Frankpembleton6 @Schmisse @FaytuksNetwork Behold the words of the terrorist lunatic left. Worthless and undeserving.

@Schmisse @FaytuksNetwork She was an evil old bigot and the world is better now that her awful far right opinions have died with her

The CPS says Ann Widdecombe died after she was hit on the head with a hammer 21 times

@Schmisse @FaytuksNetwork What a pathetic, hateful, fucking piece of shit you are. On no, she said something you didn't like so it's ok to bash her brains in. Fucking progressive lunatics.

@FaytuksNetwork I had an interaction with her in the 90s, during which she called a category of people 'vegetables'. She was a wicked woman.

Ladies and gentlemen, the terrorist left at work.

Imagine being so fucking retarded and racist you assume I'm white just because I have a different opinion that you. Grow the fuck up you retarded, racist, brain dead pile of shit. Getting yourself all worked up over someone actually proposing a solution to a problem they've identified where all you can do is bitch, moan and be a racist fat fuck.

@_BTPC_ @LeadingReport I’m not mad at all. Bout to go see the movie this weekend heard it was great. You must be a hit dog hollering , did it get your panties in a bunch too cause the cast wasn’t 100% white? The white fragility is real. 😂

Elon Musk says he is down to give Mel Gibson $100 million to film a historically accurate Odyssey adaptation.

@MYTmurderyatrak @LeadingReport Imagine being so fucking retarded you get mad because someone decides to use their own money to solve a problem they've identified rather than just bitch and moan like you do. Go back to peeing sitting down and watching your boyfriend getting railed.

@LeadingReport Imagine being as wealthy as he is and still being this petty and fragile , unhappy cause a black person or 2 got casted in a make believe movie where you think everyone should be white.

@VividThoughts_1 @ll_r_ps @LeadingReport Moving the goal posts. Lazy ass

@ll_r_ps @LeadingReport Myths exist to entertain and explore ideas. They’re not meant to be treated like documentary footage

@VividThoughts_1 @LeadingReport You sound like someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. You're the kind of person who would be fine with Saving Private Ryan having a full Japanese cast.

@LeadingReport No such thing as a “historically accurate” fable

@RobertMcKinl3y @RealLifeFakeWiz

@RealLifeFakeWiz Yes. first 20 minutes was weirdly crappy. The dialogue more than anything. Afterwards it got good. Last 45 minutes was great film-making

I'm 22 minutes into The Odyssey. Does it get any better?

@Moosebrained @RealLifeFakeWiz Lol, the absolute bullshit in this comment is incredible.

@RealLifeFakeWiz Yes maam...it gets even better. The film already is gold at second 1. Just trust the process. Nolan understand and shows you as he sees the societal ambiance. The film forces you to sink even if you fight. You will enjoy the ppl, how they comrade, how they triumph...etc.

@rafasemueve @joshrhorner @MattWalshBlog I did. Please fuck off.

@_BTPC_ @joshrhorner @MattWalshBlog Sounds like you didn't watch it

In “Apocalypto,” Mel Gibson transports you into the mind of a Mayan 500 years ago. In “The Northman,” Robert Eggers transports you into the mind of a Viking a thousand years ago. In “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan transports you into the mind of a liberal woman in 2017.

@RathB0ne @MattWalshBlog The original story takes place in real places, was based on real events, contains many historically real people and outside of the fantasy elements is historically accurate. I suppose Saving Private Ryan isn't historical for you either? What a moron.

@MattWalshBlog Man, you’re a moron. Since when was Greek Mythology historical fact? You must really hate Matt Damon…

Best historical epics this century: 1) Master and Commander 2) Apocalypto 3) The Northman 4) Gladiator The Odyssey is somewhere well below these films on the list

@MattWalshBlog Wait, you're listing epic adventures? Then why mention Master and Commander. Aren't adventures supposed to be interesting?

When I say “historical epic” here I mean an epic adventure film set in a real and recognizable period of the past, whether based on true events or entirely mythological. So I wouldn’t include for example the Lord of the Rings on this list. Although those films are certainly superior to The Odyssey in every imaginable way.

@MattWalshBlog I'd watch The Odyssey again before watching Master and Commander again. Both are boring as hell but at least I laughed out loud (due to the stupidity) several times during The Odyssey.

@tipps_michael @benshapiro Seen it twice. Kindly go fuck yourself, dipshit.

@_BTPC_ @benshapiro You clearly haven't seen the movie chud

IMHO, a lot of conservatives are missing the Biblical forest for the woke trees in Nolan's Odyssey. Yes, the casting of Elliot Page is silly and egregious. But here's the thing: Nolan's "The Odyssey" is an apologia for Christian morality poured into a Greek vase. The entire movie is rooted in what Nolan terms "Zeus' law." That law is: "Treat others as you would want to be treated, because anyone might be a god." Now, clearly, there's nothing like that in Greek mythology. It's not implicit in Homer. It's a direct rip from Biblical morality, substituting "because anyone might be a god" for "because man was made in the image of God." Nolan then takes this rule and uses it as his moral glue: the idea is that Odysseus, in utilizing the Trojan Horse, violated Zeus' law and led to full-scale slaughter. That sin has led to the unleashing of broader globalized sin (the "sea peoples" who don't respect Zeus' law and are invading surrounding areas). This is a highly Biblical message: that sin is infectious, and that sin also affects the world at large, not just the sinner. Odysseus has sinned, and he must atone for that sin through self-imposed exile. He must also sacrifice his own aspirations to restore the possibility of a moral universe: because he has unleashed catastrophic violence and violation of Zeus' law -- manifest in the suitors' cynical use of Zeus' law to eat Penelope out of house and home -- he must violate Zeus' law one last time and then accept the penalty, which is exile. This is a not only a movie that will make millions of people go read classical literature again. It also reinforces the idea that violation of the Golden Rule has disastrous consequences. I dunno. I'd consider that, on balance, a large-scale win for civilizational values, when weighed against the woke casting of Elliot Page or the dumbass discussion over whether Lupita Nyongo is good-looking enough (she is, and for the record Diane Kruger is German, not Greek).
