Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey deconstructed Odysseus, the diverse casting & modern dialogue made it inauthentic & distracting, while failing to honor the source material. It was disappointing. Read my review:

I just finished watching The Odyssey, and I genuinely do not understand so many of Nolan’s choices. The combat was bizarrely slapstick, the dialogue felt far too modern, and the casting completely baffled me. Why was Odysseus played by a literal Jack Russell terrier?

Emily Wilson, whose translation of The Odyssey is itself unfaithful, critiques Christopher Nolan’s adaptation for emphasizing Odysseus’ “shame” over heroic “glory,” calling it a modern psychiatric revision of the character. Follow: AF Post

Christopher Nolan’s next film releases in 216 days. Reminder that one of Nolan’s best casting decisions was assigning David Bowie to play Nikola Tesla. It resulted in a few unforgettable moments in The Prestige. I’m excited to see some casting surprises in The Odyssey pop up.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey being “subversive” is what will ruin the movie. Audiences are sick & tired of race-swapping, gender-swapping, and Hollywood infusing liberal politics into movies and TV, which bastardizes the source material. Audiences want FAITHFUL adaptations.

Saw Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” in IMAX on opening day. It was absolutely cheeks. He sold out for the Hollywood agenda.

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is now favored to win Best Picture… 🤦🏼‍♂️ Personally, I think this film was one of the most subversive, overhyped films of all time. It doesn’t deserve to win. 🎥: Fox & Friends

Mia says she was given dummy sides to audition for Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’, and that she had to accept the role before even knowing what it was.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Odyssey’ 97/100 - Incredible, in every sense of word. Editor Jennifer Lame needs (even) more attention for what she unlocked with Nolan’s storytelling. Took it to another level with this & ‘Oppenheimer’. My full Letterboxd review:

All the talk about the new Odyssey movie, has reminded me about the classic made for TV The Odyssey with Armand Assante as Odysseus. Specifically, my favorite scene was when the legend himself Christopher Lee played the blind prophet Tiresias.

Christopher Nolan says Martin Scorsese’s THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST was a major inspiration for THE ODYSSEY. “The figure of Jesus & what Scorsese does with him was very, challenging to the audience. That was quite inspiring from the POV of Odysseus.”

This is the real power of 𝕏! For weeks, Greek media stayed almost completely silent about the government giving millions to Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey while the casting controversy was exploding. Then the outrage on 𝕏 started growing… and suddenly Greek news outlets began covering it. This is what Elon built. 𝕏 doesn’t just reflect reality — it forces reality into the open when traditional media tries to ignore it. We are the media Now!

47 Days out from Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, a reminder that people should calm down over Nolan’s casting of TRAVIS SCOTT in his upcoming film. Nolan’s known to cast musicians in movies- it’s part of his process, whether it be David Bowie or Harry Styles. It’s a Nolan trademark.

Oppenheimer released just over 2 years ago. We’re 326 days away from Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey. But I’m still not ready to move on from this yet. Bits & pieces of this movie are impossible to forget, including & especially the opening sequence. Nolan’s best work.

It’s both #ScorseseSunday and #ChristopherNolanWeek, so it feels necessary to mention that Christopher Nolan recently shared that Martin Scorsese's 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ was a major creative inspiration behind Nolan’a depiction of Odysseus in The Odyssey. Nolan’s pulled from so many creative mammoths in making his upcoming release. I expected the world.

33 days away from another Christopher Nolan summer blockbuster. Batman Begins was the first of such blockbusters I ever experienced personally & it made an instant impression me. Then came The Dark Knight. Then Inception. So on & so forth. I’m ready to add The Odyssey to the list
