I am a Nolan fan, but, for some reason I have started to feel that his movies are more of a science class instead of a movie. TENET was confusing, Oppenheimer started well, then just went sideways in the end only to connect the dots at the end. Though, its strictly my personal opinion and others can differ from it. Dunkirk was the last which I truly enjoyed bpth from film making plus story telling POV. Hoping that The Odyssey, being a historical movie will stay true to the book and the challenges faced by Odysseus.

Odyssey should ideally be a good subject for Nolan as it allows multiple plot angles to play out at the same time.
Prakat Posted June 12 Posted June 12 The book is far more rewarding but given that the core story lends itself well to the cinematic experience and the director's earlier works have led up to this challenge, it looks like it's going to be a summer treat.
vayuu1 Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Wish Hollywood some day makes movie on Mahabharata or Ramayan, someone like spielberg or cameron,but then budget is something which will be huge bigger than gta 6 or Avengers doomsday if it's properly made also the time factor

Also can you trust Hollywood to depict our Gods in the way we want them to without an agenda/propaganda?

They will load the movies with feminism and ghaste oppression ideologies.

Too much will be lost in translation.

zen Posted 38 minutes ago Author Posted 38 minutes ago Another excellent work by Nolan. A great presentation of Homer’s Odyssey. It is relatively grounded - less glamorous, more arty. The last act from when Odysseus returns to Ithaca is mind blowingly good for the genre. After the Dark Knight and Inception, I felt like clapping after the film. Gollum and ravishingravi 2
