Nah, but glad releases are finally starting to trickle in.

The regular 4k release is already 80GB Crying or Very sad

The numbers don't decide, the system is a lie. The river running dry, the wings of butterflies.
And you may pour us away like soup. Like we're pretty broken flowers.
We'll take back what is ours. One day at a time.

Wow I actually thought to be more impressed with this. I looked until 1.3h, and didn't continue watching yet because other stuff came up. Usually that means it's not a top-notch movie for me Surprised

The pacing is really weird in this, especially the first 30-40 minutes. Like everything randomly jumps

That was Oppenheimer to me. I managed to finish it, but left unimpressed.

Having read the original Homer's epic, why did Nolan cut and "modernise" it so much? He cut pretty much all the terrible parts.

One major part was that Odysseus called for the killing for 12 servants for being disloyal. Telemachus changed it so they will be hung over the ship board. Nolan actually said he cut this part because it was "misogynistic" LMFAO. It had nothing to do with it, it was only to do with being disloyal.

Damn modern interpretations need to be plastered everywhere.

And of course the story was rebuilt as Odysseus having guilt trip all the time for his actions, while in the original epic he was cunning and proud of his action. To me this is already huge butchering of the original story

5/10 (technically looked nice)

Did Nolan also not want to show Odyseeus being a woman's man while on his 20-year voyage? Like having Circe as his lover on the island Dude Wink But nooo, modern interpretation means Odysseus needed to be pure dedicated husband material

@Iwasfaggotonce
I actually agree with you on something Smile
I gave the yarr version a go over the weekend with wife. not a fan. Nolan strips away a lot of what makes Odysseus interesting.

The whole twelve enslaved women from the household being changed, sort of changes the story...Just one dies. The other women, who knows? Left and just moved on with thier lives?

- Nolan strips away a lot of Odysseus psychological and moral complexity. He is twisting it hard to make the movie a typical Hollywood heroes journey forcing a flat, predictable, consistent emotional arc.
The Cyclops scene is a good example. In the story he escapes and sabotages it because he wants credit. Nolan wants to shoehorn in some 'known working' movie theatrics. That part really annoyed me. The same guy who’s clever enough to get them out is also vain enough to bring Poseidon down on them. Thats what makes Odysseus...Odysseus.
Nolan cuts both moments and leans hard on guilt and trauma. It felt like he was sanding down a weird, unpredictable character to fit a familiar Hollywood hero arc.

- Athena randomly shows up rarely as a token 'shes in the story' character. in Homer's she actively helps Odysseus and Telemachus.

-He cuts the feud too, so Telemachus can take the throne on a random unneeded hopeful note.

- And the ending? So damn 'safe wrapped up emotionally pleasing'...Odysseus and Penelope sailing into the sunset together honor his fallen crew? wut? Why so emotionally tidy and morally safer? Homer's ending makes you sit with what that peace cost, and who paid for it.

-We don't control what happens to us in life, but we control how we respond to what happens in life.

Have you red the original Homer's epic, and you are using the dangling modifier ( which is supposed to be connected to you, but it is not ) wondering about Nolan's decisions on the case? Or your introductory modifier is correct and is attached to Nolan, and you are wondering why he disregarded the source that much even thou he has read the source? Forever Alone
