I am tired of western Cinema jerking off to same old stories, which tbh aren’t the pinnacle of literature or storytelling. There are so many cultural epics which are deserving of the big screen, but unfortunately this western culture bias keeps the general audience from being exposed to any of it.

It wouldn’t matter, but the issue is then you have utter fucking illiterates and philistines who believe that only western writers, thinkers or philosophers came up with anything good. New flash, many, many of the western writers took their influence from non-western sources.

If someone doesn't know, they can check out the EPIC Saga!

It's a nine-part concept album about the Odyssey: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic:_The_Musical

I'm a little mad that Nolan is making the Odyssey. It's gonna be so pretentious and trendy, and I'd be surprised if Anya Taylor Joy, Timothee chalamet and Jeremy Allan White aren't in it, to round it out into the most pretentious movie in history

Edit: Nolan can't film anything but drama. Go watch Batman again and notice how awful the fight scenes are shot and the terrible choreography.

Anya Taylor Joy would do a great circe imo

Yeah, another heavy dramatic saga to wade through. I think I'd prefer a Simon Pegg/Nick Frost adaptation. Or maybe a Matt Stone/Trey Parker version. Something still epic, but also hilarious and full of the vibrancy of humans.

You bring up a point, that in these Greek Epics you do find humor. But Christopher Nolan doesn't know what a sense of humor is

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

There were a couple of moments in Oppenheimer that had me laughing out loud, but I don't think that was the intention.

Hot Take:

Ulysses > The Odyssey
