i'mma answer right quick, as someone who crashed out over the nolan odyessy for a week straight and then pirated the whole ass movie so no one else has to:
the man took a modern war movie and dressed it up in the worst simulcra of Ancient Foreign Land, but make it Christian(tm) without being Christian(tm)
(Odysseus at one point says "your gods" when talking to one of his people, and i straight up screamed becauSE WHAT DO YOU MEAN "YOUR GODS" THEY'RE YOUR GODS TOO. also, fucking nolan took away Athena's patronage of Odysseus COMPLETELY, the only thing he does is talk to his guilt manifesting as the trojan priestess who got killed right in front of him (supposedly she's Athena, but given the complete and utter lack of any of the greek gods, i'm saying nolan wanted her to be nothing more than a vision of guilt and forced atonement))
the "golden rule" that supposedly broke the world doesn't apply in the way that Odysseus is interpreting it, and is, again, deeply christianised: it's a bastardization of a tradition called xenia, which is basically guest and hosting rites, and odysseus Agonizes over this shit like it's the downfall of civilization. (according to nolan, it was.)
they use the phrase "our age of bronze is collasping": this gets me so fucking pissed off, they didn't know that the bronze age was collapsing, the term bronze age is literally a modern historical thing that the would not be aware of! did the people in the middle ages call it the middle age? NO, THEY DIDN'T.
i could go on for literal days just screaming about every stupid chatgpt looking stupid plot point, but my point is:
THIS MOVIE IS BLEACH. DO NOT DRINK THE BLEACH.
