And take us on the roads again

One lucky follower shall be awarded with the task of dragging my body in the woods so that it may be devoured by wild animals and become one with nature

I used to have this clodius that when i would get bored i would put on a grill and turn it on and his clodius juices would come out and he'd scream loud as fuck

And my irritation to tumblr users going "the movie was fine you are just purists who are stick in the mud" well i think its perfectly normal for people to hate when their culture gets appropriated (in a trend of cultural appropriation that has been going on for literal centuries) while their lives are being made shittier to fuel their cultural appropriation. If you want to reinterpret myths do it with your own culture, go reinterpret beowulf or celtic myths or paradise lost and leave us alone

And that is without saying the most egregious sins of the whole movie's production -which is also, very much, a consequence of the same mentality that caused the movie to be like that- which is nolan and his team's utter disregard for the people and places of the cultures they are appropriating. Who cares about the mediterraneans and the middle easterns, who cares about zendaya wearing stolen earrings, the plastic props in the italian seas, the lives of amazigh people being put in jeopardy during filming if it means a rich english man can put his trite ~poetic~ vision on a culture he and his people constantly appropriate?

And the thing is about nolan's odyssey is that like. Of course you can try to make an ancient myth more modern while keeping the text and the essence near or the same as the original! There is a whole school in italy and greece of keeping greek tragedies texts the same but using scenery props and costuming to make current social commentary! Alas nolan doesn't bother to do that and completely anglowashes and appropriates the odyssey to push his frankly boring, trite, pretentious and dull vision that is everpresent in his movies
