>gives himself top writing credit>"Uhhh yeah, that Homer guy helped out a bit with the first draft, I guess"
>>221984370Considering the dialog is not in dactylic hexameter, yeah.
It's been changed so much that yeah, it shouldn't even count as "The Odyssey" anymore.
Damn Nolan and Homer had a collab?
chuds are running out of things to screech about
What kind of name is "Mentor"?
>>221984455>dactylic hexameter
>>221985027I agree, dactylic hexameter is fag talk, which is why Nolan deserves top writing credits
>>221984370Its the meme. Its actual fucking meme
>>221984370>chuds complain that the movie isn't 1:1 with the poem>chuds complain when nolan gives himself a writing credit for his adaptation of the poem you know homer's been dead for almost 3000 years, right?
>>221985027>not knowing the most common meter used in Ancient Greek poetrydid you receive an education?
>>221986438no. I have no need.I can use AI to pedagogically translate this gobbledygook for me.now I don't have to go into a lifetime of student loan debt to learn what it means.
>>221986617bonus points to the anon that can explain WHY epic poetry was structure/metered as such?
>>221986641bardic mnemonics
>>221986438>did you receive an education?you tell me >>221986667
>>221985692was Homer even real?
>>221986717Most people don’t know.
>>221986750Persona ex nihilo.Opera ex nihilo.What a piece of work is a man...
>>221984370You guys keep finding things to cry about, huh?
>>221984370What is Homer short for?
>>221986825>What is Homer short for?Homer was pretty tall, actually there are records of him settling debates by simply standing up and flexing
>>221984370>You need to feel guilt for winning a warHe is such a neurotic faggot
>>221986896That was a bullshit Tumblr post about Plato, dumbass. Homer lived almost 400 years before Plato.
>>221984370it's public domain, he technically didn't have to credit him at all
>>221984370Homer shouldn't even be credited. This is barely fanfiction.
>>221987007Anglos love to hate themselves.
>>221987085What is Plato short for?
>>221987007this subtext wasn't in the original at all, right? if i remember correctly, odysseus was more upset over the loss of his fellow soldiers.
>>221984455That type of meter is famously not really possible in English.
>>221987267it is possible, it just doesn't sound good. if you try speaking it out loud in english you sound like you're trotting like a horse or something
>>221987366>This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic,Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring oceanSpeaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.Make your own judgements I suppose.
>>221987536this is nice but it just doesn't sound as rhythmic as the iambic trimeter or tetrameter or pentameter in english desuUnder the greenwood treeWho loves to lie with me,And turn his merry noteUnto the sweet bird's throat,Come hither, come hither, come hither: Here shall he see No enemyBut winter and rough weather.Who doth ambition shunAnd loves to live i' the sun,Seeking the food he eats,And pleased with what he gets,Come hither, come hither, come hither: Here shall he see No enemyBut winter and rough weather.
>>221984586Need it or keep it
>>221984370Yeah, the people who wrote the actual screenplay get top writing credit for screenplays, who knew?
>>221987656Yes I agree, English is at its worst when it becomes languid.From Longfellow himself:>I hope you will not reject it on account of the meter. In fact, I could not write it as it is in any other; it would have changed its character entirely to have put it into a different measure."Then after it had sold some, even he begins to regret it.>It certainly would be a relief to the hexameters to let them stretch their legs a little more at their ease; still for the sake of uniformity I believe they must still sit a while longer with their knees bent under them like travelers in a stage-coach.
history won't remember Homer's Odyssey, they'll remember this film. it's like du Maurier's Rebecca.
>>221987882History won't remember this film either. Oh Brother Where Art Thou will be the only remnant of Homer's Odyssey in a thousand years.
>>221987917>Subversive kike shit
>>221987980Filtered.
>>221987132Nothing. In ancient greece you didn't have a family name. Depending on who you were introducing yourself you might follow it with a patronym, where you're from, or what you do. Depending on what is most relevant for that exchange. And if you were famous enough, people just knew you by your name.
>>221984623(You) are FUMING
>>221988092>homer>watching anything
>>221986717How can Homer be real if his eyes aren't real?
>>221988155Correct, Homer would most appreciate listening to his most musical adaptation.
>>221988092>What if Odysseus and his men where criminal scumbags who team up with a nigger who sold his soul to the devil and fight evil racists
>>221986717Just as real as the wine dark sea
>>221987085Plato was literally a wrestler. That's where the name "Plato" comes from. It means "Wide Chest" because he was like a greek samoa joe who frequently tackled people during seminars.
>>221988155He's got the AD version.>>221988214Homer would've loved it.
>>221988264Isn't the 70mm imax 4:3?
>>221988239>the wine dark seaHonestly one of my favorite lines in all of fiction, especially if you've ever been out on the water at sunset, just paints a very visceral picture in your head that's connecting with something thousands of years old, that millions of people have read, and shared the same thought.
>>221985692Prove it
>>221988705Wikipedia
>>221984647Bravo, Homer.
>>221988092based
>>221984370He owns to the bad script instead of blaming it on AI?
>>221985084"WE ARE GREEKS FROM ITHACA"literal we wuzzery
>>221985692Allegedly.
