I’ve loved the Iliad and the Odyssey since I was a kid, and I make it a point to watch any movie Christopher Nolan makes, but the casting for this movie sounds terrible. Anne Hathaway? Charlize Theron? Matt Damon - as Odysseus?
I thought Damon was perfect in The Martian, he can be very good and appear politics free, Charlize Theron bugs me, she always seems to be taking herself so seriously that she comes off as saying “watch me acting, aren’t I good”.
I have come to despise Odysseus.
Philandering child-hurling city-sacking beyond Troy bastard who comes home and tortures to death the maid-servants who slept with the suitors - did they have much choice about that? And reunites with his faithful Penelope.
Yeah that’s the way they were in the old days.
