Christopher Nolan uses THE ODYSSEY to give us a thought-provoking parable about contemporary problems. But Homer's ODYSSEY isn't a parable. It's a myth, and myth is about the timeless. The danger is that you can miss the timeless by getting stuck on the contemporary. And our civilizational problems often get compounded by our contemporary "solutions."

As Black Myth: Wukong making people search for Journey to the West content, I recommend Stephen Chow's 1995 classic "A Chinese Odyssey". Little known outside of the Chinese speaking world, it's a hilariously subversive take with Chow playing the Monkey:

The challenge with Nolan for The Odyssey wasn’t solved by “Troy” back in the mid-2000s. The problem is much deeper, and The Green Knight (2021) showed us why. The modern mind just doesn’t comprehend the true nature of “myth.” If you divide “material” and “spiritual,” you’ll miss it. If you try to make the story fit modern notions of “history” bound by scientism, you’ll miss it. If you ask “what’s ‘real’ here and what’s symbolic?” you’ll miss it. The Green Knight actually does a good job of making you feel how disorienting real myths are to the modern mind. But it’s hard to portray myth and make it a box office success.

The most-disliked trailer of Christopher Nolan’s career comes in response to casting Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy. Let me explain why the disapproval is the rational part of this story, and why the confidence of the people waving it away is not. The defence for casting Nyong’o as Helen of Troy is shallow. “These are made-up stories,” says the online commenter. “They can be remade however we want.” The people making this argument believe that distinguishing myth from history is a display of intelligence. A clean example of the Dunning-Kruger effect, the confidence of someone who has learned that a thing is invented without ever asking what the invention is for. History records one man, once. Myth records what a thousand men held in common. The myth is the self-portrait a civilization paints of its own best self. This is why it is not merely a tale for entertainment. Homer’s Odyssey is a time capsule for a culture, the encoded values and examples that tell a people what it means to belong to them.
