I lost the original post but someone was criticising Helen's outfit in The Odyssey (and they drew their own, which was lovely btw, very cool)
And all I could think was - well why might that be?
Why might the most beautiful woman in the world, now scarred and supposedly less beautiful, controlled by a husband who saw her as a trophy and now sees her as a curse and the reason his brother and half the Agean is dead, not be wearing clothes that flatter and accentuate her beauty?
Filmmaking choices, especially from a director like Christopher Nolan, are almost always intentional in some way.
Blue curtains may be a literature joke but when it comes to film, someone did have to choose, make and put up those curtains, and then frame the shot with them in it. So consider there might be a reason they're there, or at the very least that thought was put into what colour they should be.
