It's not that I think Odysseus should be emotionless, just that a version of Odysseus who gets a happy ending can't be one who cares about his victims or has an extremely Christian, post-Roman concept of honor. Odysseus can't live happily ever after if he's not a piece of shit, but in this movie he gets to be both a righteous person and a war criminal with the moral consequences of that handwaved at the end.
This is in the movie, but Odysseus's personal concern is about how his crimes affect his perception of himself and his relationship with his family.
Mixed bag. Circe transforming Odysseus's men into pigs was extremely well done.
Don't worry, he imagines a slain Trojan victim forgiving him and holding his hand so it's clearly all okay
Interesting that they call him a "Civil War veteran" to avoid saying he was on the wrong side
I know for sure it isn't true because they're all in my field of vision
Yes but you have to pretend he is so that you can forgive him for things he did to other people
It's literally even more troopslop than Gladiator and they're still calling it woke?
I'm almost done with my Legend of the Galactic Heroes rewatch
I'm sure there's a joke here about Fosterism
I guess this is dated to his becoming a wizard and moving to Middle Earth. If they date it to anything other than that, then years stop being a useful measurement because he's older than both the Sun and the Two Trees.
Playing with a new ingredient. No CW because they're both vegan
In this adaptation of a 1967 short story of the same name, a sixteen year old boy in 1985 forms a psychic connection with a Puritan girl of the same age in 1700. Over the course of 40 minutes, two characters who never appear on screen together share every moment of their lives with each other, giving advice and emotional support, forming an intimate friendship and a little more.
If this had been written today, I would say it was obviously about online friendships, especially the way it can be more vulnerable with people we don't know in real life and the way that those of us stuck in conservative places look up to people who live in places where the grass is greener.
They want the war crimes to have no consequences in a unexamined gritty action movie way.
