The only thing I'm worried about is how they condense such an epic story into a few hours.
Judging by how it was cast, the filming locations, etc. I'd expect a more episodic approach with a bunch of a time jumps. The odyssey took place over 10 years.

I highly suggest watching the 2 part series made for tv.
That was my first experience with Homer as a kid and I read The Iliad and Odyssey immediately after watching it.

I do not think anything can top it.

Isn’t this supposed to have mythical creatures in it? It’s a remake of Ulysses with Kirk Douglas where he bends the bow at the end?

Looks ok, but I want to see even more risk-taking by studios.
Give me a hyper-realistic, mid budget historical film about ancient Greece shot with Mel Gibson-style cinematography and in the ancient Greek languages. Something along the lines of Apocalypto except it takes place in Ancient Greece.

Fighting under Agamemnon bud. He is the “big stick” in the war. Not Odysseus.
Read the book.
Read the book.

Looks fine to me. She's 43, and her character ain't made up for movie premiere.

Are you using an angry emoji because he mocked you because you wrote “Honors College” instead of simply writing “college”? Everyone who read your post thought the same thing. He was just the one to make light of it. You can’t even comment in a thread about a film without trying to validate your self-perceived superiority.
Nobody, not one out of 10,000 people, would have felt the need to write “honors college” in a post discussing a movie. Yet, here we are, and you on script, are the one.

I did not use the angry emoji. That was the confused emoji

a. It was in Honors College
b. They didn't offer the course I took elsewhere at LSU
c. The point was to discuss a professor who created another course for HC that was also not available in the normal course selection.
It was an important distinction for the story.
And I don't think that's why he responded the way he did. My money was on him doing the "you're an idiot LARPing as a smart person" thing, but I have been wrong before.

A. You can’t help being a douchebag it’s in your DNA. May as well embrace it
B. I too was in the honors program at college (Loyola) and there were two semesters on epic literature…classical epic (Iliad, odyssey, Aeneid) and modern epic (Pynchon and Joyce). Of all the many classes I took only those two both kicked my arse and stayed with me the rest of my life
In classic, the final exam was to choose one of the three and illustrate (that’s right) the narrative. It was a four hour exam. In modern, the exam was to compose your own epic, you had the whole semester to do it

Naw. People just look for any way to become triggered these days. It's weird.
Lucky for this thread the movie isn't connected to Disney

quote:if the iliad and/or the odyssey were written to be "hyper-realistic" to the people/culture of the time they were set, you would not recognize them. and those two poems are generally speaking the best account we have of the events of the time. so a hyper-realistic account of those same events would be pure speculation anyway

We need more Bronze Age stuff
It's largely ignored and it has a ton of fascinating stories. It's the start of human civilization

“One of my professors in Honors College did a course once about the warrior-society dynamic, focused on a few examples but Odysseus being the main character.”
People not trying to flex their self-per-ceived bona finds would have written “A former professor of mine…”
Or “One of my former college professors…”
You, and only you, would feel the need to qualify that it was honors college. That was irrelevant to everything you wrote after the opening sentence.
That is why he and everyone else laughed. It is as expected as the sun rising in the east that you would find a way to tout your education in a movie thread.
