>>539538670That's how I always felt about the Odyssey when I read an adapted version as a kid. It felt disjointed and weirdly paced as fuck to me as a story.
>>539538670which means Troy was a good movie, because it was a good movieI'm so glad I don't keep up with movies anymore, ngl lmfao
The poem is mostly about Telemachus, Odysseys' wacky adventures is a small section in the middle. Hard to make an epic movie about a guy who spends the first third traveling around having dinner with people and chatting.
>>539538670Source material was basically an ancient capeslop after all.
>>539542804It's a great story about what a home really means, as well as many pitfalls of hospitality (Nausicaa is too kind and brings the destruction of her people about for it, Circe is a capricious shit host who needs to be brought to heel, etc.).The issue is more that it's framed as an adventure story to kids than lessons about greek ideals wrapped in fiction.That being said, Nolan's source material (the feminist reframing of the Odyssey) is indeed dogshit and needs to be exposed for the brainless revisionism it is. Turning Circe into a victim of the patriarchy, for one, is basically ruining the whole point of her character in an epic that uses her as a bad-example-turned-great of xenia (guest-friendship/hospitality).t. self-proclaimed expert on the current thing
>>539538670>Full steel armor, the highest possible tech for the time showing what peak civilization can achieve>Add a vertebraes like a fucking nigger cannibal>Not even matching armor colorWhat's even the point?Are jews really so bad at pattern recognition that can't even manage the simplest shit?
>>539545883I don't get the angle that is "for kids either".Maybe i read a weird version of it but all that happens is:>Beg for money>Beg for shelter>Minor inconvenience>Fucks up so it' becomes amajor inconvenience>"I'll let you off scot free, but just this once">Fucks up again making it a major inconvenience again>Plot armor intervenes>repeatreminds me of early videogames that had no sense of pacing or structure and stuff just happens.
>>539546256I guess it's a little more than that. Part of it is basically:>The temptation of forgetting your duty/place in the world via drugs/food (lotus-eating).>The temptation of the idyllic home (Circe, post-oath)>The temptation of knowledge and the power it holds (Sirens)>The temptation of eternal youth/immortality (Calypso)All aim to derail Odysseus from returning to his place in the world, the place where he build a home, a name for himself and has his family. Basically, the place where his connections and his history truly make him who he is.On top of that Homer throws in some lessons about priorities:>Lesser of three evils, or between a rock and a swirly place (Chaybdis, Scylla and telling the crew what each really entails).>Gods vs. Crew, aka the jeet dilemma (Obviously, Homer wants the Greeks to be pious first).Lot of it sure isn't all that suited for kids, and that's without bringing up the transactional, trust-building sex between Odysseus and a goddess; Helios's daughter, Circe.
