Christopher Nolan explains why people think historical epics have to sound so formal, and why he completely broke that rule on THE Odyssey
Interviewer: The language is very modern. You say "Dad" rather than "Father." What's the thinking behind that?
Tom Holland: I wouldn't have said "Father" back then anyway; it would've been in Greek, so it's no less correct.
Christopher Nolan: People view the ancient world with cultural prejudice, elevating it just because it's old. But the original poem is actually very earthy, grounded, and accessible. In building the film, I wanted to do away with illogical assumptions, look at the actual archaeology, and make the world feel fresh, credible, and exciting for modern audiences.
