“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

Maybe Jonathan takes ONLY 5 outfits with him. Not sure if this counts as much or not. But just using that.

He takes with himself (rounded Numbers):

5 lawyer papers

47 photos of mina

5 soliciter outfits

14 jars of Garlic. Wait. Why would he need -

8 extra envelopes for important mail

5 relevant Maps

9 wooden stakes. How'd those get in?

6 train tickets

23 crucifixes for your mothers sake

Just for the funsies - when he takes 100 photos of Mina with him:

10 important lawyer papers

100 photos of Mina

11 soliciter outfits

30 jars of Garlic. Wait. Why would he need -

17 extra envelopes for important mail

11 relevant maps

19 wooden stake. How'd those get in?

13 train tickets

"To answer a lot of people's question: this package is [4lbs] there's also, [10lbs] and [20lbs] ones (which used to be sold in most stores, but you can find them only in specialized ones nowadays). There are some tiny ones, like 1lb! Those are the ones you buy to carry when you travel."

Croatians apparently take a pound of toothpast with them when they travel.

also, squeezing out too much toothpaste at once is really only a small child problem (or a disability problem) and there are special dispensers you can buy to solve that problem.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm excited for Nolan's The Odyssey.

A lot of the criticism on the movie is justified. The armor and attire on Odysseus, Telemachus, and Antinous feel like they came straight off from Game of Thrones, the ship is viking era-esque, and some of the casting choice seems off. It isn't what many expected from Mycenaean Greece and a supposed faithful adaption of Homer's epic. A lot of creative liberty was taken here.

But I'm here for it.

What we've seen so far reminds me a lot more of Neoclassicism and the Renaissance-- two periods that saw the ancient world as grand, heroic, and timeless. It was romanticized and they sought to capture it in their art.

This version feels mystic, larger than life, and removed from reality. But then again, the Odyssey doesn't shy away from gritty reality, and it does make me wonder if Nolan plans on showing that clash between fantasy and reality for the characters.

In The Odyssey, the Trojan War is romanticized by bards during feast times, but in the Iliad, we know that it was nothing like that. War was gritty, boys became men too fast, and seeing the sunset was a privilege. Perhaps the movie has taken note of that and will show how others see Odysseus, a man who ended the unwinnable war, vs how he really is, just a man who got both incredibly lucky and paid for his pride.

And the costumes in contrast than look, like Nolan isn't even trying.

He could have gone gritty and dark still. And still be more accurate.

This also is kind of such a Nolan thing. We got that with Superman too. And Superman had colours. There are like 2 colours I have seen with the Odyssey. A green cloak for ... Whoever the character is supposed to be. And Penelopes dress.
