If you paid me to ruin a movie, I still couldn’t have done it this masterfully

Though the guy looks like Sherman grew up and left Mr. Peabody, if he can make us believes this “Helen” is the World’s Most Beautiful Woman, he deserves the Oscar.
Cultural appropriation.
Perhaps Michelle Obama cast her — there is a resemblance in that scowl.
“ basing it on some woke, white, tatted up idiot broad’s feminist “translation” of The Odyssey”
You have a name?
Nolan has a degree in literature from Imperial College, London. Also an honorary doctorate and an honorary fellowship from the same yeah
He does not depend on anyone to tell him what Greek history and literature are
This is such a Nolan Derangement Syndrome forum
It is all a PYSOP.
Rhodesia all over again. You WILL hate yourself for being exceptional.
Two ugly little boys.
You do realize honorary degrees are not real degrees? I have a degree in Literature too. BFD.
“ you should know Nolan’s new muse, Emily Wilson.”
Care to share what you’re talking about? And/or why people are reviewing a movie that’s not out yet?
I wouldn’t waste a penny on it after seeing the clips.
No. Use your tiny mind and figure it out.
You're right on target with that comment.. your Post #9 explains what happens about 95% of the time... Your "Theory" is really a FACT.
Tiny mind. Wow. Some real nasty hatred going on here
Well. I believe any criticism ought to wait until after the movie has actually been seen
I know that’s a logical statement.
Same thing happened in Germany in the 1930s. Nazism is cray cray
Emily Wilson
"Other translations of this passage say that her tears “melted” or “streamed” down her cheeks, or that (in the English cliché) her “heart” melted. But Homer’s original text says that her chros—her “skin” or “flesh”—melted, and that her cheeks themselves dissolved (teketo kala pareia). Penelope experiences her marriage in terms of grief, abandonment, and the loss of identity—a loss that, disturbingly, Homer presents as a necessary and natural process, like the coming of spring on the mountain. In translating this passage, I wanted to bring out both the beauty and the precision of the imagery, and the horror—a common, relatable horror—of being a woman who experiences her attachment to her husband as the destruction of her self. I wanted the reader of my English to feel as I do in reading the Greek: for Penelope, and with her pain, rather than prettifying or trivializing her grief."

Nobody is reviewing the movie. So save your passive aggressive pretend ignorance. You know exactly what people are commenting on.
It’s the complete disregard for the source material, race swapping, gender swapping nonsense that is not even controversial anymore. Adding rap while saying there is no soundtrack because orchestral music wasn’t around 2700 years ago. People who were excited for this are now just gonna pass on it because it’s trash. There is no shock value. It’s a boring trope anymore. Nolan has always been hit or miss. Interstellar sucked.
