The Odyssey - the Twisted Epic We Deserve

by Armond White

Christopher Nolan's unheroic epic alters the history of movie-watching.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey sells IMAX, not cinema. Billed as the biggest of big movies (Titanic meets The Lord of the Rings with some Megalopolis thrown in), it continues the corruption of modern movie culture that Nolan started with The Dark Knight, which upped the scale of nihilistic violence to satisfy a hipster's misconception of original filmmaking. Since then, he's trained several generations to embrace mere action-spectacle as cinema, which, alone, can be stomach-turning. But it's not cinema, which enlivens kinetic imagery and emotional response.

Homer's ancient Greek poem The Odyssey is beside the point of Nolan's ambition. Adapting the story of Odysseus - the king of Ithaca making an extended journey home after the Trojan War and encountering various natural and supernatural forces along the way - Nolan departs from his regular focus on moral futility. The casting of Matt Damon as Odysseus (rather than an ambiguous figure like Gerard Butler's feral King Leonidas in 300) lets us know that this makeover is meant for liberals.

This version of The Odyssey as an adventure spectacular goes against notions of survival, quest, intelligence, masculinity, civilization - foundational principles of the West that Nolan's previous films all destroyed through his emphasis on chaos. Here, Nolan indulges chaos once again.

Conservative pundits who have loudly complained about the unorthodox casting choices in The Odyssey don't understand Nolan. What they mistook for "artistry" in Nolan's Batman films, his pseudo-intellectual sci-fi sagas, and his meretricious Oppenheimer was a political compromise. Those films anticipated the woke chaos of this adaptation. (Oppenheimer's self-doubting American history exemplified a kitsch version of RINO sanctimony, gratified by the Oscars. Maybe this twisted, cartoonish version of The Odyssey is the epic we deserve.)

Film-watchers should realize that Nolan is a creature of the '90s film movement, in which cynicism ruled, making the high/low combination of art-film and pop-trash into a new order of generic grotesquerie. Indeed, we're meant to read trans actress Elliot Page's androgynous Sinon and black actress Lupita Nyong'o's Helen of Troy as revisionist versions of Western hegemony. (Extolling Nolan's "craft" is a way of affirming his politics.) Thus, The Odyssey is remade specifically to please leftists and declare a new cultural perspective on morality, civilization, patriotism, masculinity - all the issues now out of favor. The result is the usual and emotionally hollow, unheroic Nolan epic.

Nolan's use of scale (the overmarketed IMAX viewing platform) perverts classical cinema as well as the literary classics. Nolan's insensate followers - the Nolanoids - don't appreciate great composition; their sense of aesthetics has been dulled. In their fascination with new technology, they forget what was achieved by David Lean's enlarged aspect ratio in The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Doctor Zhivago - the singular perfectionist visual craft as in Lean's earlier small-scale movies.

Nolanoids exhibit the least sophisticated responses to image and sound, even when Nolan's storyboards are essentially unimaginative, as in the sequences of the long-shot connecting Odysseus to Telemachus, the building of the Trojan Horse, the Cyclops that's more Peter Jackson Halloweenish than Ray Harryhausen fantastic, and Odysseus strapped during the sea storm with the sirens. These don't match the grandeur of any Zack Snyder set piece or rival the Homeric spectacles of Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, the statuary opening of Raymond Bernard's Les Misérables, from 1934, or the magnificent storm in David Lean's Ryan's Daughter. Those sequences were not just flashy; they were emotionally expressive and visually powerful.

Great cinema often disturbs TV-bred Millennials who resist cinema's spiritual and erotic impact. That was the issue when Zack Snyder's 300 was misinterpreted as a defense of the Iraq War rather than a revival of mysterious mythology. Nolan's The Odyssey doesn't resolve resistance to Western mythology but trivializes it. Both conservative fear and liberal enthusiasm for the film reveal a deeper moral and aesthetic crisis. This confusion peaked with the lugubrious Oppenheimer, which took advantage of both conservative and liberal perspectives about the atomic bomb. Yet the cultural demoralization was already catastrophic when The Dark Knight illustrated Nolan's insensitive response to 9/11. Going back to Homer, Nolan kills the roots of visual narrative.

>and his meretricious Oppenheimer
Kek, this niggerfaggot really has a way with words

>>373639
Pretentious and verbose.

Niggers, gays, and women. That's the problem with Nolan.

>film in Greece for the authentic "Greek" experience
>don't hire a single Greek in your film
Bravo, Nolan.

>>373639
>liberal identity politics = leftists
Armond confirmed another pretentious pseudointellectual. He would get along fine with Nolan.

>>373645
>Armors aren't greek
>Boat is a viking one
>Niggers, so they can't even pretend to be greek
>Filter that removes all the color so the sea and coast don't even look mediterranean
BRAVO NOLAN

>>373646
Shut the fuck up tankie

>>373639
White Raped Nolan yet again!

>>373646
Leftists long ago abanded class concerns for niggers, gays, and women. You know why? Class concerns accidentally helped white men too, and that is a big no no.

Have fun with your niggers, gays, and women!

>>373651
>Leftists long ago abanded class concerns for niggers, gays, and women. You know why?
Because they weren't leftists. Now read a book nigger.

>>373653
One can read Marx and Engels and still come to the ultimate conclusion that they were wrong about race and identity, they were right about their hatred of the Jewish worship of money. This is in spite of Marx's Jewishness and Engels spiritual Jewishness as a post-Protestant Christian.

>>373653
>Because they weren't leftists.
Yes, they were. They just began emphasizing social egalitarianism over economic egalitarianism.

Well lads, looks like you were wrong again.

>>373657
Hopefully a few sharts who went to see this had the shart parasite, and sharted all over the theaters.

That scene with the giants slaughtering the soldiers, that's a metaphor for what's happening right now in the sexual market.

>>373660
kino

>264 million opening weekend
The Jews are right. Goyim.

>>373679
People suck

>>373686
Nolan has always been a stupid goy's director. He has also always made jews feel tingly about themselves. He truly inspires the subhumans of mankind.

I think she can be Helen of Troy.

>>373691
Literally any attractive White woman would be an upgrade from the sheboon, whether she can act, or not.

>>373691

Morena's almost 50 now. Still would!

What mystery meat is this

>>373639
>corruption of modern movie culture that Nolan started with The Dark Knight, which upped the scale of nihilistic violence to satisfy a hipster's misconception of original filmmaking.
I can agree with this. TDK ruined modern movies. Actually society in general with the influx of grimdark crap.

>she is not white!!!!
With a good bleaching her kids would be totally white. She is close enough.

>>373702
Man, you just reminded me of Macarena Gomez. Whatever happened to that beauty?

>>373575
What are you crying about? The film is great. Admit you're wrong.

>>373708
Eat a nigger dick.

>>373708
If someone shat on your plate you'd be scarfing it down and talking about how great it tasted.

>>373660
fucking KEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why did Nolan cast an Irish actor to play a jewish scientist? What did he mean by this?

>>373660
The poorly played recorder has yet to be defeated lol

>>373654
Marx and Engels only seethed about Jewish money because they felt their patrons and society in general should have paid them more. Basically the same thing as modern day liberals shitting on capitalism but also perfectly content with living as stereotypical consoomers.

Engels was born wealthy and ran several successful businesses along with some side hustles. He sold them all because he wanted to retire early and dedicate himself to shitposting against the very thing that enabled him to have such a lifestyle in the first place.

I'm not saying cuckservatives are correct though, just that the very fathers of modern leftism were hypocrites.

>>373934
Your fallacy is the appeal to hypocrisy, but a surprisingly large number of champions of the impoverished in history came first from the upper classes. From the Mesopotamian rulers who canceled debts to protect their populace from debt peonage, to the early "tyrants" (turned into a dirty word later by resentful creditor oligarchs) in the Greek classical period, to the Roman "kings" who were overthrown to protect patrician privilege, and later to the Gracchi brothers, Catiline, and Julius Caesar himself. These people all came from the aristocracy, saw that their fellow aristocrats were driving the rest of the population into slavery, and rode a wave of populist demands. Asserting they were just in it for themselves (many probably were) doesn't erase the realities of class conflict that they were living through or the validity of their critiques.

>>373797
You can always tell by the ears

Piece of shit movie made over $640m. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but that really is insane. It's insane how far gone people and civilization is. With the forever Jew wars you can saw that, oh, okay, geopolitiics is difficult for the masses to follow. Sure. But this is entertainment. This is asking people to have a shred of dignity and care about the fundamentals of having standards and not eating shit. And they've that. To the tune of over $640m. It's fucking over. How do we recover from that as a society? As a species? How do we save these people from themselves? You really can't. The memes were right, billions really must die.

>>373954
The masses are niggercattle, and that's why it doesn't pay to try and save society. Intentional communities and metapolitics are a much better path forward than trying to vote our way out of this mess.

>>373956
The masses are asses.
