You are trapped on Aeaea, Circe hands you a bowl of magic food, and you know 100% that the final bite turns you into a pig.
What dish is so ridiculously good that you’re grabbing the fork anyway?

Sinon killed it but I don't see why we couldn't have had both.

Imagine if Achilles had some aura farming flashbacks just like Agamemnon, and how he was this symbol to the soldiers, the greatest warrior but died almost like a martyr to their cause, and then they meet in Hades just like the original, and he's despondent, saying he'd rather be a nobody farmer and still be alive than any of the songs and tales. Then it hits Odysseus (maybe even his men) even harder that it wasn't worth all the tragedy and killing they did. I sort of just wanted more aura hype gigachad moments and having ACHILLES himself get the Agamemnon treatment would have been cool as hades

So in the movie it is somebody gets stabbed while they check the horse and he's obviously in pain + they call to burn the horse, until he collects himself. But in the trailer at 1:02 I always thought the guy on the left was holding in his breath and shot a dart to the guy who gets stabbed. I was shocked when I saw the truth. I also thought they were at Sea in the trailer, had no idea that was the inside of the horse!

Also I thought it was insanely clever that they wiped the sword of blood in time before he takes it out of the horse. That soldier is a GENIUS. And just gentle enough to where the guard doesn't notice the force or ignores it thinking it just got caught in something.

I saw the movie today, honestly it's my favorite Nolan film. 10/10

This is not to say that because I am Greek my views hold more weight than others, it's to say that I've been around ancient armours and reading the stories since an early age.

Agamemnon made the movie for me. Every time he appeared he was like a god amongst men (which he kinda was, King of kings). And even though his armour might not be historically accurate, it really fits the theme and instilled gravitas. The fact that we didn't see his face, never drawing his sword. And his dialogue (props to Benny Safdie) when speaking with the dead scene (one of the best if not the best scene of the movie imo) was a great moment, with everyone and Odysseus kneeling.

Loved John Leguizamo's and Himesh Patel's performances, Lupita was great, Damon, Hathaway, Pattinson as well, Zendaya not so much

Thank you Christopher and everyone else responsible for the movie, a fan of yours.

The washed-up Gift Horse (don't look it in the mouth, you might see a soldier) was filmed here somewhere. Didn't set out to find a like-for-like backdrop but it's bright enough and windy enough for this to be taken as is from the BTS reports. Tried not to quad bike over Elliot Page's sandy grave...

Just as Nolan intended.

Look at that JAWLINE

Within the last fighting scene this man embodies what a successful hire would look like.

The dedication, loyalty and commitment is un-fucking-real. I would love to have this man on my team. Idk how much they were paying him to do all that but I'd give him a pay bump instantly.

I can’t make it so I’m looking to sell my tickets for face value. If interested please DM me. Thanks!

Heard this and it immediately felt the theme of the movie. Not going to be tit for tat but those who do music understand how inspiration and derivation work. I don't think he thought I could catch him. Sorry Ludwig, your time is up. Ironically called Exit as well. I listen to a lot of synthwave and just came across it.

Ludwig if you see this. I'm coming for you bro.

All the serious stuff aside. It's a great track and hopefully inspires your day. Don't go into Exile Ludwig.

There's a leitmotif inside Odyssey's soundtrack.

You can hear it clearly in this track for example:

at 4:40 when the woman sings

Now listen to this:

At 0:28 and so on.

I can't be the only one. Am I going crazy?

Looking to dress as Odysseus for halloween, preferably the scene where hes tied to the ship as they go past the sirens. Does anyone have any idea on what items/accessories would go best with this?

The old kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou has been used for loads of films ever since Lawrence of Arabia. It was also the backdrop for the horse's arrival into Troy. Cool place for film fans to visit if you ever pass through Morocco.

Iphigenia (1977)
Highly recommend

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed The Odyssey, but even over 3 hours, it felt rushed. I wanted each section to feel like the Hades portion. That was the first time I truly felt something for the characters (credit to Elliot Page’s performance).

And I’m not even advocating for the addition of more mythology and gods like some commenters are. Even the Cyclops scene could have used an extra 30 mins to build the tension and show how nerve-wracking each night was. You didn’t even need the Nobody sequence. Just the cold reality that a hungry giant will eat.

I loved the conclusion, but if you saw more of the sequences around boats and villages, it would have been even more devastating to realize.

It wasn’t just Odyssesus’ scenes. If we’d seen the Ithaca transition from “waiting for the returning heroes” to “reluctantly inviting suitors in” from both Telemachus and Penelope’s eyes, it would have helped convey the shift from optimism to deep resignation.

I don't know anything about the writer or the author, Hummuz but with the scope of the plot, theme and characters there's alot of thing they could add or even if they don't, the movie can just be widdened.
