I don’t know how appreciated this would be here, but my favorite adaptation of the Odyssey is Nostos: The Return. It’s nearly wordless, entirely visual, and very ambient. I absolutely love it but I’ve had friends tell me it didn't resonate with them. If you want something more conventional and faithful, the 1968 Italian series produced by Dino De Laurentiis is really good too. Nolan’s looks like actual capeshit.

How did he go from Oppenheimer to this shit where he'll throw a whole bunch of niggers where they don't belogn with an inaccurate soundtrack?, just how man?

Sorry for double posting, but there was a scene in Oppenheimer that made me laugh in the theater. I remember the classroom of his cutting-edge theoretical physics course was like a third black and the next scene he’s telling someone that they need to de-segregate lol. Oppenheimer is just as slop as this appears to be.
 
The Armand Assante Odyssey was my shit back in the day. Telemachus straight up skewers one of the suitors in the bow-stringing scene. You can find the whole series on Youtube by the way.

The whole vibe looked great in "Dunkirk," where the shitty lighting added to the tension. Remains to be seen if the lighting scheme works for Ancient Greece.

Normally ancient greece is associated, color wise, with bright colours, symbolizing an infant world where anything is possible.

Dark and gloomy doesnt fit it colour wise, unless its something very stylized like say, 300 (but then again, that movie was def. trying to replicate the look of a stylized comic, soo...)

Like, dude, Ancient Greece and its mythology are enough dark and fucked up as is, at least the pretty colours help offset the tragedy

Nolan made too many kino movies so Hollywood forced him to do a humiliation ritual with this "movie".

It’s like that King of the Hill episode where they’re making a play about the Alamo and the director is taking a shitload of creative liberties with it just because “You can’t prove this didn’t happen.”

This movie will either be stillborn or be mercifully aborted.

William B. Travis in a dress waving a white flag: "Yoohoo, Santa Anna, we surrender!" They called it back in 2004. That's also the episode where Bobby's history book is just pop culture BS. "A whole chapter on Selena?"

He became president of the Directors Guild and was promptly handed a DEI checklist.
 
I think Lupita Nyong’o is an amazing actress with a lot of range, and it sucks to see her being used as a cheap “free advertisment via blackwashing” ploy. I also can’t see these casting stunts as anything other than a way to cause discord and further divide people to keep them from uniting a common enemy (such as the literal pedophile elite ruling class we live under)

I could actually buy that Troy was set in the Bronze age. Sure, they didn't really bother to use accurate mycenean armor, but at least they got the aesthetic right and you can tell this is all supposed to take place long before classical greece.

Nolan's odyssey is peak amerimutt knowledge of history: ancient greece is ALWAYS hoplite helmets and marble sculptures irrespective of the historical setting.

I'm mad they didn't include Mark Ruffalo and Pedro Pascal.

How can they claim it's an all-star cast without including the remaining faggots that appear in every movie?

I want this shitheap to the best most stereotypical Hollywood flop imaginable.

People always talk about the competency crisis among Hollywood directors, writers and actors, but nobody really mentions the cratering standards when it comes to lighting, special effects, CGI, props, costumes etc.

It's all getting enshittified into irrelevance.

Nolan has fucked up that as well.

to be entirely fair here, the vast majority of public knowledge about these times is taken entirely from media than any actual historical account
ptolemaic egypt is still depicted as muh turban sand dress land even in "historically accurate" works

never mind the niggerwashing

Clash of the Titans handled the color/brightness as well as any I can think of. A lot of truly bright outside shots and then Medusa's lair is pretty much weakly torch lit. Such a classic movie. It's wild they bothered to remake that in 2010 and it of course bombed.

How? Asking that question makes you dumber than the niggers in the cast. Let me put this very short and clear:

Oppenheimer was about glorifying Jews (killing gentiles, specifically Japanese people that where allied with Germany), so all resources was made to make it look good. Odyssey is to mock European (specifically Greeks) mythology by inserting the most disgusting races to exist into these visuals, to create an mental image that Europeans are at the same level as niggers. It's kikes funding money to mock and demoralize the gentiles.

Does that answer your question? That might have been an rhetoric one, but I took the bait and sperged out.

Or what if

Oppenheimer was not all that great?

Clash of the Titans (2010) grossed ~$480M against a $125M budget. Was about the 12th highest grossing film of 2010 (granted, that's a fucking meaningless number, since it probably only netted about $60M against a total shooting and marketing budget of $200M*, meaning there's tons of lower budget/lower gross films that actually MADE more).

I'd imagine this fucking niggerized piece of shit would kill to earn that much (actually I honestly image literally no one involved in the film gives a shit if it makes or loses money, since they already got paid, and they're not the morons who will lose money on it).

*Also 2010 was in the before-fore times and it probably made a solid amount on merchandise, DVD sales and licensing which don't exist as actual as revenue streams any more.

Of the 'main' nolan movies

I liked Memento (but not perfect for sure), It's really watchable if nothing else.

Batman Begins and Prestige, moved badly. Don't like them. I know a lot do, but I didn't.

Dark Knight is amazing

Inception is overrated. It's has more visual moment than an overall solid story. It's a heist movie in the end with a lot of complicated things to do it.

The Dark Knight Rises is like Spiderman 3. Just couldn't get through it.

Interstellar is very very good, near top level sci-fi. It's better than Gravity which is the other mid 2010s pre ultra woke scifi.

Dunkirk is a pretty good movie, but there's a lot of slow parts (this one looks a lot like Odyssey)

Tenet is a movie that the sum is is way way less than the parts. Good ideas of a bitter guy that can send things back to destroy the world. But convoluted and odd.

Oppenheiner is one of the best movies since woke Oscars level since No Country From Old Men of 2007. Nearly perfect, could've cut the sex parts and trimmed the interview scenes. Otherwise great.

I expect Odyssey to be like Dunkirk overall, but probably worse, we'll see.

The trailers are showing a lot of the suitor drama which is lame even in the original. Can they show the sirens amazingly? They're showing the cyclops but I don't think it looks that much more amazing than the older movies with stock motion. I'm not even going to mention the bizarre cashing, it's more the flatness and fairly odd putting style so far I don't like,

Insomnia is very good too. Robin Williams is chilling.
