I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...
...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.
Why?
Because they were GREEK characters.
I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.
I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.
They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.
And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.
We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.
Odysseus is a GREEK hero.
Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.
Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.
Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."
It’s just insulting.
Stop it.

Is it just me or the hype for this season has been extremely low? Haven’t seen anything like before.

Imagine spending $375 million on The Odyssey only to make everyone appreciate Troy even more.

Lo buenísima que fue la primera película de Narnia, aún recuerdo la sensación de fascinación que sentí de niña al verla. Una preciosidad atemporal.

Karayip Korsanları'ndaki kılıç yakalama sahnesinin çekimleri saatler sürdü. Çünkü oyuncular kılıcı bir türlü yakalayamadı. Bu yüzden son çekimde verdikleri tepki tamamen gerçekti.

Consider this your invitation to board the Black Pearl. Twenty-three years ago today, audiences first set sail with PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (2003). Starring Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, the film went on to earn five nominations at the 76th Oscars.

Every new thing I learn about this movie sucks.

Christopher Nolan says he chose Travis Scott to be in ‘THE ODYSSEY’ because “it felt very apt to have a rapper playing a bard.” “The idea of oral, formulaic poetry, that feeling to most academics for the last 100 years or so, that's the basis on which these things were handed down.” (Source: @screenrant)

I say this without a hint of irony.
The greatest film Disney has, and will ever, make.

I have loved Greek mythology for as long as I can remember. I was prepared to travel to Colombo to watch this movie on IMAX. Won’t ever happen

I have loved the story of the Odyssey since I was a small child. My parents bought me a kid-friendly version of Greek mythology. As I got older, I read the real version many times. Do you know how hard you’d have to work get me to NOT see this? And yet, they did it.

I hope the entire country of Greece sues Nolan and Universal for this.
