Recent films have been borefests, Tenet in particular was so up it's own ass it made literally no sense. Living off past glories like some well known veteran cricketers. His movies are generally "time based'. It took second viewing to grasp it. Not as classy as Inception though.

Eurofags and Wignats are coping hard for no reason She has this classic squaer jaw. SHe is beautiful. But if you look at ancient sculptures they are typically oval or round jaw. Only males were considered to have square jaw Greek & Roman Ideals: Goddesses like Aphrodite were depicted with delicate, rounded jawlines, which symbolized wealth, gentleness, and femininity. Strong, angular, or square jaws were primarily reserved for male heroes, gods, and warriors to emphasize physical strength and masculinity
vvvslaxman Posted July 10 Posted July 10 The Odyssey Helen Character Analysis Helen is the queen of Sparta and the wife of Menelaus, and it was her abduction at the hands of Paris that started the Trojan War. While in The Iliad she absorbs much of the blame for the Trojan War as a whole and the sacrifices of the men who died during it, in The Odyssey Helen is merely a gracious hostess characterized sympathetically. For instance, she tells Telemachus that she was grateful for Odysseus’s role in defeating the Trojans because she was missing home, and “unhappy about the wrong that [Aphrodite] had done” her in taking her away from her “lawful husband.” Helen’s somber recollection of the grief that she suffered while being held in Troy depicts her as a victim as opposed to an active participant in the conflict. Helen assists Telemachus on his journey to discover his father’s fate. She cheers a distressed Telemachus with tales of his father’s courage and cunning. She also drugs Telemachus’s wine with an herb that banishes sorrow so that Telemachus can rest easy for the first time since the suitors descended upon his home. These examples characterize Helen as a kind, empathetic figure who seeks to comfort a young man who is away from home for the first time in his life; perhaps she is remembering the not-so-distant past in which she was in a similar position. Much has been said across many myths and epics about Helen’s unmatched beauty. However, The Odyssey illustrates a different part of her personality: her cleverness. To begin with, Helen instantly suspects that Telemachus is Odysseus’s son. Furthermore, right before Telemachus is set to sail from Sparta, he and the rest of the crowd spot an eagle with a goose in its talons. Menelaus fumbles for a few moments to interpret the omen but Helen is “too quick” for her husband and (correctly) predicts that the eagle is meant to represent Odysseus’s eventual triumph over the suitors, represented by a goose. In the tales she relates about Odysseus’s exploits, she mentions that she alone was able to see through his disguise when he infiltrated Troy—but, she allows, he was “too cunning” for her, suggesting that no matter how clever a character in The Odyssey may be,wily Odysseus, the hero, is cleverer still.

He has added Helen and her twin sister. Both played by lupita. Also he has portrayed her as human and more sympathetic . Interpretation of that character varies. In his interpretation he wants to cast her. That's okay. Who are we to tell who he should cast. Most of the common fan would come up with hot girl playing the role.
