I have no interest in The Odyssey movie opening July 17

Lots of talk, ads, and apparent buzz. I don’t understand exactly why, other than the massive budget and famous names.

I saw it last night with my daughter

She is studying media technology in school. The movie was very well done, and I honestly do not get the issue with Lupito being Helen of Troy. She played such a minor role and was in maybe 5 minutes of the film.

John Luguezimo (sp?) stole every scene he was in.

It doesn't matter what color she is. Helen of Troy is supposed to be the most beautiful woman

in the world.

So hire a hot actress. If she is hot and black (like my coffee!) then so be it.

sorry, the "only 5 minutes of the film" is such a silly argument.

films about history should be historically accurate. films about mythology should be true to the writings. if someone cast benedict cumberbatch as an african zulu warlord, people would riot. the blow back on Helen of Troy is appropriate and well placed here as well.

I understand and I actually agree with you...

I am not going to let it ruin the movie for me.

That 5 minutes of screen time only reinforces the likely DEI motivation here.*

Employees of theaters are saying way more seats are sold than people sitting in them.

Hahaha.

Ya know, whatever. Maybe some people think it's the greatest movie EVER, others may just think "hey, if we pump up the box office it will show the world how much we HATE HATE HATE Trump". Your dime, your dance floor. (At least that's what I think Coppock used to say.)

The Ellen/Elliot Page character is from another epic of ancient Greek literature. Not in this story at all. Elliot plays a Greek warrior I guess. At 5'1" tall. Oh. Well, talk about typecasting. But vital to the story!

And so many of those ancient Greek books had PC characters from Africa or maybe Spain...

Who knows. Who cares. Got a feeling "Oh Brother, Where Art Though?" is a bit closer to the original material. All are free to judge; everyone can spend one of their precious summer weekends here in Chicago standing in line to make a political statement if they want, or spending gas money driving to one of the wide screen theaters, etc. For me? No thanks. Hello, maybe it will go down as one of the greatest movies ever. Dunno/don't care.

I couldn’t get through Oppenheimer so I’m going to pass but it seems like Damon and Hathaway were very good in particular.

But all the woke casting decisions aside, if the movie remains true to the source material, it could still be worth watching.
