I was excited to see the fresco in the trailer. I’ve had an exhaustive search for the Doom painting, a medieval mural of the Last Judgment, that inspired it.
The first pic is from the St Peter and St Paul Church in Chaldon. The second pic is from All Saints in Great Harrowden.

Robert Eggers on a recreated fresco in WERWULF: “There’s a fresco from a church wall w/ a hellmouth eating all the souls that are being sent there by Satan. Most peasants were illiterate so the power of these intense images painted in red [make you think] how they must have felt”

And then there’s this weird little guy from All Saints in Broughton.

One can apply countless interpretations to the classics, but there are only so many interpretations one can attribute to the classics. I have nothing against Nolan's message, but the "universal/eternal" angle is a bid to pass your own message as the essence of the original.

Christopher Nolan says THE ODYSSEY is ultimately about the idea that a society can only function through respect for strangers. He believes that, despite nearly 3,000 years since Homer wrote the epic, that fundamental truth about human nature hasn’t changed.

@fakehistoryhunt I confess that one of my reasons for painting historical miniatures is that I take pleasure in restoring colour and in the shocked/outraged reactions I occasionally come across.

I love this, a diorama of London Bridge during the middle ages.
I'm obsessed with that bridge.
A hobbyist manages to depict the past better than quite a few big budget films...

@auteurhouse Neither is historically accurate. Possibly, the promotion for Troy was a tad more honest about it being simply a Hollywood film meant to appeal to a mainstream audience.
English
Would you rather have the historical accuracy of Troy (2004) or the artistic liberty of The Odyssey (2026)?
Which one do you prefer?

Can you spot what isn't quite right about this scene in Troy (2004)?

@portraitinflesh The Odyssey has got no more or no less Homer and accuracy than, say, Troy. In my view it has got surprisingly little Nolan too. For the first time, I felt it was a Nolan film that could have been directed by many others.
English
@ilinterpaint Oh yeah, I'm not saying it's above reproach. Mark Kermode had some negative points to make, but he still urged everyone to see it in IMAX while they can.
English
I haven't seen it yet, but it's already clear that Nolan's Odyssey is not just good, but one of the most significant cinematic events of recent times. As ever, the pinched, hateful worldview of right-wing zealots cuts them off from the very Western culture they claim to champion.

@portraitinflesh My main problems were that Damon was miscast, Holland so wooden that he could play the horse, the endless cameos turned the plot into a red carpet and the film itself was a spectacular, but impersonal, popcorn movie meant to revive the big screen experience.
English
@portraitinflesh After seeing the film, I felt that both sides deliberately made a fuss about what turned out to be little more than cameos. It allowed promotion to bait bigots so that all criticism of The Odissey could be dismissed as racist and, predictably, bigots swallowed the bait.

The review of "Easy Lady" is the standout for me, absolutely spot on. Singer Ivana Spagna did start out in a liscio ballroom orchestra, which is indeed seen as the kind of music a stereotypical Italian housewife would love.

Kind, wise, impish, graceful, warm.
The last time I saw him I took the opportunity to tell him he was an inspiration to me.
Rest in Peace Sam.
