For months, criticisms of Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster adaptation of “The Odyssey” have been brewing. Nolan’s multiracial cast appears to reflect the Oscars’ diversity requirements rather than how Greeks looked at the time. None of the principal characters were played by a Greek, and the only Greek-descended actor played a minor role. Odysseus’s son called him “Dad.” A rapper with visible tattoos did spoken word in an opening scene. Even the progressive translator of Homer’s The Odyssey sa...

Read that The Odyssey director Christopher Nolan thinks that AI is the real Trojan Horse. Maybe he’s right, especially when we think of AI as literal non-human intelligence that is slowly heading towards an Omega Point. https://t.co/q8uDpUWRud

In terms of UFO books, you can think of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in the same caliber as John Keel’s Operation Trojan Horse: essentially, the greatest piece of scholarship/art in their respective genres. At the conclusion of each, the reader or watcher is left stunned at the insights and grandeur presented. And like Tom DeLonge’s advisors told him… the little gods of Greek Mythology might be more real/surreal than initially thought.

This is an interesting take from Rony because I consider him part of the side of Ufology with a more Fortean view of the phenomenon. Where the non-human intelligence aspect and the esoteric cross paths. https://t.co/efLKM1bmSM [Quoted] It seems Christopher Nolan's Odyssey will talk more deeply about non human intelligence than Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day https://t.co/ldOJwuX8Ma

Odysseus isn't really a hero, a progressive 2017 translation implies. But he is, and the moral of his story is in part about the importance of property rights, which are foundational to Western civilization. Little wonder, then, that the academic Left wages war on "The Odyssey." https://t.co/xrwvyxAAKm https://t.co/bNOS9wbAt4 [Quoted] Controversy has erupted over Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming film adaptation of Homer’s poem The Odyssey, which arrives in the wake of a contested 2017 translat...

Controversy has erupted over Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming film adaptation of Homer’s poem The Odyssey, which arrives in the wake of a contested 2017 translation by Emily Wilson, a classics professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Critics of Wilson’s translation argue that she has rewritten Odysseus from a hero into a morally suspect figure. Nolan cast a black actress, Lupita Nyong’o, to play the Mediterranean woman Helen of Troy, prompting criticisms of hypocrisy and racism from Elon M...

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of “The Odyssey” relies on a celebrated feminist translation. But people are right to feel that, in it, "the idea of a hero is being degraded," says classicist Isabella Reinhardt. It is thus yet another assault on a foundation of Western culture. https://t.co/Oqfp3bLnJn
