I haven't seen this movie yet and I don't think I can go see her either because I'm poor. 🥴

However, I am a huge fan of Christopher Nolan, to the point that I even did a special post recently on my blog talking about all his films. So I don't intend to overlook this potential masterpiece, even if it is a semi-realistic and Americanized film adaptation of a Greek and ancient work like the Homer's Odyssey.

There's always that eternal debate of whether to want an adaptation that's 100% faithful to the original work or an adaptation that conveys a story that possesses the essence of the original work. The second is more common, since the first is almost never appreciated, especially in the world of Hollywood.

I honestly think that The Odyssey, if it is as dense and long as you mention, would have been better if they had made a series instead of a nearly 3-hour movie. Although, who knows, depending on the success of this film, we might see something like this in the future, who knows. 👀
