The signs are not looking good. Christopher Nolan's version of Homer's classic Greek epic "The Odyssey" was, at first, greatly anticipated. The director's filmography is largely celebrated with blockbusters like Interstellar, The Dark Night, Dunkirk and Inception. However, woke ideology is like a virus infecting everything in Hollywood, and rumors were spreading from very early in the production that wokeness has invaded the brain of Christopher Nolan.
Even though the vast majority of "woke coded" films fail miserably at the box office, the Tinsel Town cult continues to lose billions of dollars every year pumping out one disastrous production after another. If we apply the universal definition of insanity (making the same mistakes over and over and expecting different results), then Hollywood is truly a lunatic asylum.
Well, it appears that the rumors of the new Odyssey adaptation being a leftist propaganda vehicle are true. The long running blackout on casting decisions now makes perfect sense, because it's a DEI circus.
It is now confirmed that Nolan's film features a race-swapped Helen of Troy. The "most beautiful woman in the world" will be played by Lupita Nyong’o, a Kenyan-Mexican actress. Truly a downgrade from previous iterations of the story on film. Not to mention, Helen of Troy was a Greek - A Spartan Princess.
(more, sadly)
He's a perv cunt. Made that 'Oppenheimer' crap stuffed with unnecessary female only nudity and blowjob scenes.
More from the article:
"Helen of Troy was a Greek - A Spartan Princess" not "a Kenyan-Mexican actress".
Says it all.
Seems like most things these days are looking for a reaction, rather than providing some sort of entertainment.
Thanks for the information. I will waste no time watching it.
The old version is so good idc if this one tanks
No, Helen of Troy was not Greek. Greek does not appear in Odyssey or Iliad. it is a mistranslation on purpose to fit the narrative.
Answer this question:
You get the picture: how did he do that in a sailing boat? (impossible).
Yeah ... Homer must be mistaken. Or ....is Herodotus mistaken? The country now known as Egypt is actually named: Misr or Al Khem. Herodotus also identified Lybria but that was located where now is Morrocco....
Javan, or what we would currently call Greek was a backwater, where not big happened. And then we would postulate a fleet of 1186 ships sailing for Troy? Capable of prosecuting a 10 year war? Replenishing its troops over that period of time?
Agamemnon, being at the area where troy was located, camping on the beach, could see the sun rise and sun down on opposite sides of the beach. (end of a bay) meaning that the isthmus on both sides must be at least 4 miles apart, and contain a sandy beach to house 10's of thousands of warriors, tents, horses, support trains.
Does Hisarlik allow for such? Does the geology support the descriptions Homer gave? Hardly. Or actually, not at all.
What is a Troia? Which culture retains the walking of it? And what does it mean? Compare to Odyssey philosophy.
Why is the Rhine in the original language called "Rein"? What is at the end of it? What was located there? What is a Circe (kirke)? What place name is still there? Zierikzee {phonetics: zierkze] Land of the doves. Dove Island. 3 hounds ... what is in the shield? Did Odysseus "Luctor et emergo" (note luctor & emergo is not communal but individual, though passive: I am wrestled [beset by problems], I emerge [from the underworld]). What kind of a man emerged from it? [1]
Misread the book could have been - Yoda
Quite fitting pieces of the puzzle, is it not?
He has to do this in order to be considered for an Oscar. Fuck an Oscar, tell the fucking story right or not at all.
Nobody wants to see Helen of DeTroyt?
