I started sobbing in the final act of The Odyssey, and the tears didn’t dry until after the credits rolled. Perhaps I should have expected the director of Oppenheimer to turn Homer’s epic into a meditation on the morality of war, but I was completely punched in the gut by what Christopher Nolan accomplished. | |||
If you haven’t managed to make it out to see the movie during — or since — its opening weekend, I won’t say anything else here. Ignore the bigotry around the casting of Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong'o, and just get yourself to a theater — but don’t get waylaid by any sirens along the way! | |||
And if you’ve already seen the film, join me and my colleague Quispe López for our spoiler-filled discussion below. We dive deep into its themes, the narrative choices, and the absurd backlash. | |||
