🚨#BREAKING: A 14-year-old boy on a bike ride is being hailed as a hero after he SAVED THE LIFE of a grandmother with dementia who was LOST, wandering the road in 103-degree Arizona heat. The boy stopped, walked her into the shade and then he gently helped her remember her son's phone number and called him. She has dementia. She was MILES from home. He saved her life. ❤️ The 14-year-old's name is Royal Cothrun, from Gilbert, Arizona. He was riding his bike in triple-digit heat when he saw 75-year-old Teresa Morgan on the side of the road and something just told him to stop. "She just looked like something was wrong, so I started talking to her." Teresa was recently diagnosed with dementia, and she'd gone to the grocery store, gotten disoriented, and wandered miles from home in the intense heat. Royal got her into the shade and sat with her... and patiently, gently, helped her pull her son's phone number out of her memory. On the video, you can hear him: "Maybe we can try to call him on my phone?" He called her son. Her son raced over. The fire department got there right after. Her son's words: "It's incredible what he did. It's so fortunate that he ran across her... and he CARED enough to stay with her." The fire captain said the outcome "would have been much, much worse" without him. And his mama? "Super proud, obviously. He was calm. He was compassionate." She says helping people is just who her boy IS. The fire department and the Air National Guard are honoring him. The next generation isn't lost, folks, some of them are out here saving our grandparents. GOD BLESS Royal Cothrun and God bless the mamas raising boys like this. THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@armondboudreaux Ya! When it comes to myth, symbolism and storytelling there’s very few out there with Pageau’s chops. I’m doing my best to see The Odyssey with an unbiased mind, and his preview take is mega helpful in that regard.

Coming from Pageau this is a hell of a positive sign - the trailers for Nolan’s Odyssey wouldn’t be the first this past decade to set the reactionaries’ hair on fire and it won’t be the last by any means. Thus far my single only negative criticism of what little we’ve seen has been the missed opportunity to showcase authentic Bronze Age arms and armor. As I’ve said elsewhere, one simply cannot properly criticize this film unless they’ve actually watched in its entirety.

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.

That said! Lupita Nyong'o didn’t do the project any favors with some of her recent comments… or did she? The reactionary flames were certainly stoked - the question there may be whether such was a deliberate marketing tactic, stirring up controversy and clicks for greater visibility, or merely her own off the cuff personal remarks.

"The Odyssey is an absolute triumph," states Jonathan Pageau. He states: "The movie is a Trojan Horse," implying its woke on the outside but a "return to order" on the inside. Also, he states: "the casting of 'Eliott' Page is absolutely brilliant. A masterstroke actually."
