This is very underhanded behavior . . . and that’s why I just donated to @troyjackson207.bsky.social for Senate! 😁

It’s a fascinating review b/c she both accurately describes the film & hugely misunderstands its goals. She states her criteria of a good version, but it’s not what Nolan’s trying to do. She may speak ancient Greek, but not modern Epic Movie. She’s grateful for it, tho, & I’m glad for the debate.
G. Willow Wilson(The whole review is worth reading and considering, btw, just to head off any dishonest interpretations of my very blithe premise. This is the most intelligent public discourse we're going to get all year. And it's about got damn Homer! Incredible. Maybe we do have a real culture)
I’m enjoying this Emily Wilson translation of Nolan’s The Odyssey!
EMILY WILSONThere is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.
Exactly! We Xena fans laugh at these Homer “purists.” Its Trojan war episode, “Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts,” cast their Helen with a person of color as well: Galyn Görg!
Andy McKaySorry that Lucy Lawless wasn't Greek.
