re: Emily Wilson claims Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is too woke...

It is not correct

Just a heads up. Some posters are trying to ban everyone on movie tv board help board because we disagree with them. This is becoming Reddit?

And let me return the favor. Don’t attack them, don’t talk politics here. You won’t need to because they’ll bring all of that to you. It’s extremely rules for thee but not for me here as I’m sure you’ve noticed. They’ll gang up and try to bait you because they know none of us are running to have anyone banned the way they do and like always they use civility against people. Just follow the rules of any board and you should be fine.

Odysseus called Sion "the greatest solider" he's ever known.

No he didn’t.

Nope, he said “bravest young man”. You’d know if you actually watched it.

Nope “greatest soldier I’ve ever known”

You didn’t see the movie, stop lying

No you haven’t, you’re a liar

Yes, in Christopher Nolan’s film The Odyssey, Odysseus refers to the character Simon (Sinon, played by Elliot Page) as "the greatest soldier I've ever known".

Then please explain your stance.



That way no one has to try to piece together your stance.



You responded to me saying that it was inappropriate to interpret the casting as pro trans by SEK stating the casting of Page as woke and DEI.



So if the casting itself is neutral to the trans community then how does it remain neutral or become pro trans when the casting in question is only “humiliated” per your own characterization on screen in their personal active scenes?




Nolan could have met any DEI requirements by hiring a transgender boom mic operator.



Instead he decided to actively cast one in a role that in their personal scenes on screen by your characterization is humiliating

At least we know where you get your details to pretend you watched it. Too bad they led you astray.

Odysseus tells Antonius that his name is Sinon, in honor of the bravest young man he ever met.

Odysseus called Sion "the greatest solider" he's ever known. Not the greatest coward, weakling or femboy, but soldier. Yeah, Nolan is totally owning the trans community.

Soldier not warrior.



A solider follows their leaders orders without question because that’s what they are told to do.




Achilles in the Iliad is a terrible soldier. Great warrior.


Sinon in this movie is a great soldier and terrible warrior.
