I have no plans to watch a "woke," and/or "re-imagined" version of a Western Classic - and instead I plan to use the time to re-read The Odyssey, either Robert Fitzgerald or Robert Fagles' translation.
BTW:
I'll take Homer's description of "Helen of Troy" as fair-haired and light-eyed.
This is the kind of s$%t that makes billionaires out of s$#theads who then use their dollars to tear down the U.S. from the comfort of their Lear jets, yachts, and $100 million houses. Go ahead and tithe them your twenty bucks for a ticket. It’s your new church. Go worship.
Helen of Troy was supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the world….in this movie,,,,,NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Helen of Troy, New York.
Same for me.
I’m disappointed. Even with the 3 hour time I would go see it. It is NOT going to be a Lawrence of Arabia or Ten Commandments.
Eartha Kitt played her on stage in 1950
Helen of De-TROY-t
She is not even a pretty black woman. She looks like a 15 year old boy. Gross. BUT we all know if a producer and director want to get Oscar’s they have to play the woke BS game.
I’ve been to Greece. You can pluck an absolutely gorgeous woman just about anywhere on those isles. This thing is not Greek or attractive in the slightest. Nolan may have well just cast Whoopie Goldberg. Progs love ugliness.
