The Odyssey (Archived)

I agree with Richard Brody on very little (that’s why it’s so fun to read him!) but I do agree that Nolan’s insertion of a totally modern consciousness into the story of the Odyssey robs it both of its poetic splendor and of the great joy of reading the classics: psychic timetravel

The Odyssey: You will believe a Bostonian is a king from Ithaca. That’s the magic of movies.

the weather is a total washout here, and I assume movie theaters are all packed on Odyssey opening weekend, so I snagged a reservation for one at the bar at one of my favorite restaurants later 😮‍💨

Odyssey bathroom break, don’t drink a large iced latte before this movie 😆

If you think about it, the Odyssey was the original picaresque novel

good morning! watched the odyssey last night in 70mm and it was very good imo! very much a sucker for greek mythology and it adapts it really well :D ps you may need earplugs if you're sensitive to loud noises

With the Odyssey movie releasing this weekend, now’s as good a time as any to reaffirm that large portions of the epic will feature in my forthcoming book ‘Final Fantasy VII and the Trojan War’, with heavy focus on parallels in Crisis Core. Due out in 2027. #FinalFantasymythology

Let's ride the hype like Odysseus riding Poseidon's waves. This is my Greek Pillar Bookmark, stitched in vaporwave colors on perforated paper. Find this one in my shop, or ask your favorite LNS to stock it! www.etsy.com/listing/4438... #CrossStitch #StitchSky #Odyssey #book

I hate being a filmbro I Did just buy odyssey tickets and the only imax ones with good seats were in the middle of weekdays so I guess I’ll be taking literal PTO to leave work early because I guess it is that serious. F YOU christopher nolan I HATE YOU DIE

When Bookscan reports next week on this week’s sales, we are going to see some -wild- numbers for translations of the Odyssey.

If you adapt the Odyssey, and especially Emily Wilson's translation of the Odyssey, Odysseus has to be a complicated man. But Matt Damon's Odysseus is just a simple man tryna get home.

We got out very early this morning for the 8am screening of Nolan's Odyssey. Yes, the news is true: it is a masterpiece and lives up to the hype. It overflows with memorable scenes and images and forceful characters (not least a dog that is just lying there). The translation of πολύτροπος as... /1

I'm still so fascinated with how over the culture war is. What happened to the Odyssey is going to have to be studied by sociologists for decades. The richest man in the world tried to relaunch the culture war against a movie that ended up getting nearly flawless reviews and making insane money.

I will see the Odyssey like I see most new movies. Years later at night on my computer and then wonder if anyone else likes this underrated gem

Hellooo if you want to watch the odyssey but are prone to seizures DO NOT There is a strobing/flashing lights scene that lasts for about 3 minutes right in the middle

*begrudglingly* the odyssey was so good i can almost forgive the costume design being extremely boring

I asked Adam what time they'd be opening the doors for the first Odyssey screening of the day and then I got here an hour before that with a folding chair and my Kindle 🙂‍↕️

Im gonna watch the Odyssey :3

Y’all tell me if i really need to see the Odyssey bc it looks really good but I am tired from the odyssey we are living and i don’t know if i have the energy for another one.

#odyssey #spoilers So, did Christopher Nolan really cut all of the dialogue between Odysseus and Polyphemus and think, "Nobody will miss that?"

I’m also convinced there’s an 85/15 split in the criticism camp in terms of people who hadn’t / had heard of the Odyssey before this kerfuffle

odyssey is settling well in my mind. like even with the original book, I find that the Odyssey section of the Odyssey (that is, the journey home) is way more interesting than anything else. And Nolan's film absolutely nails this aspect. It's hard to imagine the cyclops, or cerces, realized better
