It’s a fact and as usual you pretend things aren’t in the movie that clearly are. Antinous is 4-5 years older than Telemachus dipshit. You haven’t seen it but that’s ok, we know you’re a liar.

Except Antinous is as a teenager during the draft for the war, while Telemachus was an infant. Math is hard for you, I know, so here is a picture from the cast list in IMDB proving he is a teenager.

Young Antinous


Meanwhile, Telemachus is an infant being held in Penelope's arms.

It's obvious you're quoting literature you find on the Internet rather than discussing Nolan's version.

All the ages in the movie are correct so you’re just changing Antinous’ age for your argument. Infant Telemachus is 20 or 21 during the movie which makes Antinous 24-25. He realizes the begger is Odysseus from him stringing the bow because we see in a flashback as a young boy he witnessed it. Stop lying

Yes, because all teenagers are 4-5 yrs older than infants. Clown world.

That is different than "in the movie"

There is no woke messaging whatsoever in the movie. If anything, its a bit right of center and christianized.

Lupita makes total sense once you see her on screen.

the Page casting, in retrospect, is based as hell. Didn't like her in the role though


Some of us can separate this stuff and judge a film for what it is. We aren't all worked up and ate up with clickbait grifter shite.

The film itself, and its messaging, is not remotely woke

You’re an idiot, they’re 4 years apart. Sorry the movie wasn’t good so you’re having to invent a different one

Even you don’t believe that, you’re just trying to troll the board. Nolan clearly was subverting the story from the very start with sub-Saharan Helen of Troy and butchered female, pretending to be a Greek warrior.

For the life of me, I don’t understand people’s reaction to this movie. They will list a dozen things that they understand to be inaccurate or wrong and then they’ll say it’s not that bad. First of all, it’s a Nolan movie. And knowing that, what else would it take for them to say in fact it IS that bad?

If not the cast, if not the armor or the ships or the changes to the story, where do they draw the line?

They’re even lying about what happened in the movie now. They have no argument as usual

I’m not the one stuck in it. It’s the left who is doing this, I’m just not going along with it. How you don’t see that is mind bottling.

You will never know if it is, you will only have someone else's opinion that it is.
