Date: July 18th, 2026 10:00 PM Author: valar vettiri morghulis It’s a very Nolan-esque telling but a faithful telling. Only thing it didn’t really land was Odysseus’ own hubris. And I wish they had done a more faithful version of the Cyclops story. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5884021&forum_id=2.#50009140) |

Date: July 18th, 2026 10:05 PM Author: valar vettiri morghulis He somehow managed to make it into a mystery that’s revealed in a final staccato series of shots that ties back to the destruction of Troy as some kind of original sin. It’s very Nolan-esque. But even he only used cuts every fourth second in this film. There are some shots that last for nearly seven seconds.

Wish they would've showed Odysseus dicking down Circe and Calypso. He fucked the shit out of both of them for years, had kids with Circe, and then was just like "welp ... I better head on out." Could've been home after like 2 years.
The final slaughter scene was weak I thought. In the book I remember him and his son basically fighting back to back and just pwning the fuck out of everyone. |

Date: July 19th, 2026 2:37 PM Author: ..,.,.,,,,.,.,..,.,,,.,..,,.,.,,, People will always find something to be mad about online
if it were really faithful it would be boring and weird as fuck. everybody would be like why did odysseus stay and fuck the witch, that makes no sense. why did they talk so much about foot washing protocols. why was penelope such a flat character. etc. frankly when you read the "original" a lot of stuff is missing, not always internally consistent, certainly not logical in the way modern audiences would relate to.
(also nobody really knows how to make a faithful adaptation of a story that comes from oral tradition of 700 years, which was itself adapted for the classical greek audiences. the classical story we know was already modified for people to whom the original cultural context was alien.)
I thought the film was phenomenal. Beautiful, tense, well acted, imaginative, spooky, weird, and tragic. |
