>Odysseus is not wily, cunning, complicated, shifty, or anything else. He is Matt Damon looking intense and looking concerned as the “laws of Zeus” (a phrase that recurs dozens of times) are constantly broken, so that the “weak ties that bind men” are broken and “our bronze age is coming to an end.” The film over-insists on this moral at the end. “Songs will be all they have to remember those of us who can write,” Odysseus tells Penelope. “Civilisation will rise again,” she reassures him. Ah, he tells her, “our mistakes will once again be forgotten.” Cut to the Trojan horse in flames. This dialogue is like that throughout. These cliches would fit more easily into daytime television than an epic film. The objection to all of this is not that it diminishes the Odyssey, nor that it puts things in modern terms. Three hours of this stuff is just flat out dull.nolan bros, did we get too cocky?https://www.gq.com.au/culture/entertainment/odyssey-movie-review/image-gallery/c2f58ab86b4212cb1bd50eb649d73b27
