the odyssey movie back in theaters and people are already rewriting Homer like they know better
Just saw that ‘the odyssey movie’ is getting a new release and honestly, does anyone else feel like Hollywood is just running out of ideas? My granddad read the actual Odyssey as a kid, and now we got CGI monsters and emotional backstories for Polyphemus? Common sense says if you want to tell a story, just read the book with your kids and skip the overblown 3-hour spectacle. But no, we gotta milk it for another billion dollars. Hope the soundtrack is at least decent, but I’m not holding my breath.
