evil is knowing better but willingly doing worse (philip zimbardo)

I've read The Odyssey in multiple translations. It is one of the greatest works of literature ever produced by a human being, a 2,800-year-old story about a man who wants to go home and can't, and it has never needed help being relatable. Nolan handed it to Emily Wilson, whose translation of Homer features "tote bag," "pep talk," and "canapés." He ADMITTED he used her work. The result on screen: Robert Pattinson telling Tom Holland he's "pining for a daddy you didn't even know." Wilson's argument is that Homer didn't sound archaic to the Greeks, so she modernized the language. That's completely backwards. Homer's Greek was the elevated formal register reserved for gods and heroes. "Daddy" is not the American equivalent of Homeric poetic diction. It's what a screenwriter writes when they don't trust the audience to handle anything older than last Tuesday. The Laestrygonians, Bronze Age cannibal giants, show up in medieval plate armor that wouldn't be invented for another 2,400 years. Lupita Nyong'o is rumored as Helen of Troy. This is what happens when Hollywood decides that a masterpiece needs to be fixed. Does this film have any chance of being good?









@nisam__odavde @Teomales1 @CarobnaVatra NI JEDNA bolest nije iskorenjena vakcinama. Bolesti nestaju zbog higijene, kvalitetnije ishrane, antibiotika..Vakcina je peti točak na automobilu. Uvode ih kada je neka bolest već svedena na kontrolisani nivo.



@formergrey @prolifefrenchie A. Rapists should be executed. 2. Nobody loves abortion more than rapists. It gets rid of the evidence of their crime. * I've never met a woman who regretted giving birth to the baby....there are a whole lot that regret killing them.
