Apollo save me... Apollo... save me Apollo...

Nolan is very good at Big Cool Expensive Cinema, but emotion and meaning and cohesion aren't his forte, and that's fine, and so the odyssey was the better choice of the two.

But man I wish he had stuck to superheroes and space.

Considering his insane budget, what could've been the most beautiful and grand film we ever did see turned out to be a dull, poorly paced, poorly characterized and understood depiction of an old text

He could've so easily swayed and set it in modern times or idk, an alien planet, and leaned into it being a new version of it, but no, he's set it in an ancient Greece that never existed, butchered so many characters, cut so many pivotal scenes, but it was in IMAX and it has Hollywood actors so actually we should love it.

All this and I haven't even gotten to the fucked up decision to get Moroccos permission to film next to Dakhla.

Just another 1% white man feeling entitled to the entire planet, so much so that he disregards history and current harm his film would be causing.

And obviously it's doing well, and everyone loves it, and everyone disliking it is too woke and oh my god I don't care.

This has made me hate Nolan, you guys should listen to epic the musical, it's not perfect, and it makes a lot of the same shortcuts, but it's true emotionally, it seems to understand the original text, and no one was harmed in the making of.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.
