The Odyssey

The entire theatre was plastered to their seats and entirely captivated, as was i. Such genius and brilliant filmmaking—absolutely love the way the events unfolded, and he made every scene an interesting one (even the suitor scenes), score is just perfect and hit the exact right spot, the visuals go insanely hard it felt like my eyes were starving and fulfilled by the this then hungry for even more of it, i didn’t want it to end at all. Although, i wasn’t the biggest fan of the modern language, but i didn’t mind the use of everyday english than i do mind the accent, even if American, it could’ve been less heavy on the modern pronunciation and general way of speaking ig. That was especially seen in tom holland and anne’s performances. And all i saw in tom’s character was peter parker tbh😭 i wasn’t convinced i was watching Telemachus not peter or tom even. Also wtf was that trojan horse, that’s an unrealistic product from men stranded on a beach for 10 years with just enough resources to keep them alive.. Although “accuracy” and truthfullness to the “original” Odyssey could be debated, i was still able to enjoy the film on its own. And truthfulnees to the Greek culture as well, i’m hearing and reading alot of discourse surrounding the inaccuracy of language, costumes, attitudes, etcs My biggest issue with the film however, remains the arbitrary casting that didn’t make sense at times anx other times not, as well as with Penelope lack of.. character? As it is with most of the characters but Penelope especially deserved more than a broken wife tied down by the will of men.
