i so deeply disagree lol. "fundamentally misunderstood odysseus as a character" you're ascribing authorial intent to an ancient poem told through hundreds of years of oral tradition before it was eventually written down in an ancient, long-dead language that is only understood through the multitude of translations made of it, each of which imbibes the text with its own intentions and assumptions about its lead character. nolan having a different interpretation of odysseus to your pre conceived idea of odysseus is not a "fundamental misunderstanding." it is an adaptation which is interested in different ideas about what the character of odysseus embodies, and if you don't like those ideas or find them interesting, then sure, that's worth interrogating. but saying that cutting the "nobody" line from the movie of the odyssey means that the entire project is tainted by misunderstanding odysseus, is like. odysseus according to who?! emily wilson? robert fagles? james joyce? you??? okay????????
