For all the people whining that critiques of Nolan's Odyssey are just chuds trying to stay mad about ancient texts being modernized... Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (1996) took a foundational text of Western society and updated it for modern audiences. The cast was diverse to reflect inner-city gang rivalries which were making headlines at the time, and it was set in the heart of these troubles in Verona Beach. Handguns were called "knives" and long guns called "swords". Everything was set against a totally contemporary backdrop. You'd think everyone would be up in arms and furious, right? Wrong, it was generally well received by critics and home audiences. It earned $132.8 million in profits. All because it kept the original spoken script of Shakespeare's play spoken by present-day people, and stayed true to the source material. It was an interesting take on a classic that had swag and didn't subvert the original for weirdo antisocial political agendas. All you have to do is not fundamentally hate the story you're trying to tell (or the culture it comes from) while making a concerted effort to make it shittier. Make actual art and people will be just fine with it. Who knew?
