Christopher Nolan casting Elliot Page is one of the most subversive decisions in Hollywood history… The fact that the thousands of people who have seen/reviewed this movie are either trying to downplay the criticism, or blatantly refusing to discuss it, should be a red flag.

Christopher Nolan is one of the world’s best Directors. His films are sensational and everyone couldn’t wait for the Odyssey. But now…it’s engulfed in criticism before people have even seen it. Controversy surrounds it. Why? Because of the casting. Helen of Troy is one of histories most iconic figures. Blonde, blue eyed, the most beautiful woman in the world, the face that launched a thousands ships. Definitely not a black woman of African heritage. The truth is it’s a fictional story, in reality anyone can play these roles. But when the very story itself partly revolves around the identity and looks of a character, changing it to the exact opposite was bound to cause trouble. And that is not the only character. Casting diminutive trans actor Elliot Page as a heroic Greek warrior? Really? Nolan sees to have sacrificed reality in an attempt to comply with the Academies bullshit “diversity quotas” in films purely to win Oscar’s, and in many people’s eyes that fatally damages the film and compromises his reputation.

Christopher Nolan says casting Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man was one of the greatest casting decisions in movie history. “When Jon Favreau had the insight to cast him as Iron Man, it was one of the greatest casting decisions in the history of movies.” “You look at what that did and where that went with everything.” “Jon just knew what an incredible actor and what incredible potential there was in Downey.” “And then the movie star charisma that wonderful charisma comes into play.”

Trump: The people that we have in this military. You can send most of them to Hollywood and they could become like movie stars. We actually have strong people going into the military now as opposed to people that aren't strong or that shouldn't be there, and I call it Central Casting

This might be the most retarded marketing campaign I’ve ever seen. It's The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, one of the greatest filmmakers of our age, and they promote it with cringey RAPPING?! Hollywood, again, please just create a "SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE" clause for these actors. The only thing you should allow them to say is: "Hey, Christopher Nolan's got a new movie. It's called The Odyssey. Go see it this weekend." That's it! Otherwise, shut up!

Christopher Nolan’s next film is only 63 days away but the doubters are out in full force- you can hear them from miles away. I’d like to offer an olive branch to those questioning Nolan in this moment: there’s still time for you to reverse course & stop doubting Nolan. I’m truly surprised by how many have suggested that The Odyssey could be a full-blown failure. The “bust potential” conversations around this film are growing, albeit needlessly. Many have criticized Nolan’s casting decisions & creative decisions- without even seeing the film. This is all without mentioning that Nolan just won multiple Oscars- he just gave us an immediate classic with Oppenheimer. Doesn’t that mean he gets the benefit of the doubt? Shouldn’t people hold their reservations until they see Nolan’s vision through? It doesn’t make any sense to me. Let this be a line of demarcation. 63 days out from The Odyssey, if you’re one of those folks doubting/questioning Nolan, this might be one of your last chance to be on the right side of history when Nolan drops another classic.

Elliot Page is cast as a Greek soldier in Christopher Nolan's Odyssey. Five foot one. Did they borrow children's armor? Getting out of the shower with a towel around your waist looking at yourself in the mirror I present to you your Greek soldier. There's flattering casting and then there's just lack of believability. What kind of DEI bucks was Christopher Nolan trying to get?

One of the most talked about scene in comic movie history, even Christopher Nolan didn't agree with this. In the final act, Superman is forced into a situation where he k*lls General Zod. For some, it made sense in that moment. For others, it crossed a line the character should have never cross. What do you think?

Everyone should know who the murderers are – the Zionists are the biggest murderers in the world, who refuse to let the Jewish People live in peace either physically or spiritually!” Rabbi Chaim Brisker, one of the greatest rabbis a century ago, once said: “There have been many heretical groups in Jewish history, but Zionism is the worst.

This is absolutely the best explanation of engineering I have ever seen. When it comes to any endeavor in life, most people are working hard to be physicists. Engineers are just trying to get the the thing done to it's intended result.

Ellen 'Elliot' Page plays Sinon the Greek soldier Odyssey's cousin, struggling to run like someone had a huge chunk of thigh removed for phalloplasty aka penis envy. Who the hell is Christopher Nolan kidding. FFS. I would be very surprised if this DEI piece of crap does not bomb at the box office. Hollywood committing suiiciide.
