Or she could just accept reality and not be whiny leftist *****. Hilarious how it's always these insufferable privileged hollywood women who respond like this.
You get a chance to speak with Homer and your question comes from liberal brain-rot? Was Homer supposed to tell more Hallmark drama stories? I hate to break it to you, but the history of mankind was rooted around protecting our women because our societies relied on their survival to birth and raise children. That's LITERALLY the purpose of human females. It was the responsibility of men to toil in the earth and die to protect societies and their women/children.
The only reason she gets to live comfy and say bull**** like this is because of the Western society she is privleged to live it. CREATED by strong men.
I'm so tired of this feminist bull***** More fatigue.

Nice response. Point out where i'm wrong.

Your 14 year old has seen and heard much worse than anything that will be in this movie.
Perhaps. I assume my kid is never telling me everything, but we talk pretty openly about things. Still, I'm going to draw the line at what I explicitly deem acceptable for him at this age, even if he is exposed to all kinds of things outside my control.
Uneducated mouths are usually the noisier. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite are omnipresent in the Iliad. Athena is almost everywhere in the Odyssey. And there are also women who are pivotal for the plot like Calypso, Circe, Penelope, Nausicaa, Arete, Anticleia, and Eurycleia. https://t.co/aeWkVwsIMc

Given how this movie seems to be unconcerned with things that would not exist in the time in which it is set (words like 'daddy' and armor), I guess I should expect f-bombs and the like?
If I had taken a minor to see Oppenheimer not knowing much about it, I would have been totally blindsided by the numerous nude / sex scenes that were a bit over the top and extraneous to the central story. I wouldn't take a young person to Odyssey until you read up on what makes it R once it goes full release.
I'm going solo. Neither of my girls or my wife want to see it. But yeah, Oppenheimer blindsided me in certain areas.
Seemed to me she was joking around. Harder to get offended and outraged when you look at it that way though.

You're just SO. ANGRY.
That's what I find hilarious.
When nothing about any of this should make a human being react the way you are.
It's one woman, with a bit of an attitude, wishing the book delved into the female characters a bit more. Annoying? A little. Understandable? I at least get where she's coming from, though, yes, her delivery is unfortunate.
Still, some of you act like it's the end of the world and I just can't help but laugh.
It's that and then essentially angrily yelling, "LITERALLY the purpose of human females" is to give birth and raise children!!! Which is such a wildly offensive thing to say that I don't even know how to react. You're basically reducing half the world's population to nothing more than their biological function, and then you wonder why someone like Nyong'o has the opinion/attitude she does.
It's all just never not so weird and funny to me. Y'all mock me for caring about what you post, then, in the next breath, let stuff like this affect you far more than any of your shenanigans affects me.
You don't need to mock or mischaracterize someone criticizing something. You're not amused by this or finding it fun, you're weirdly trying to run cover for a movie you have nothing to do with, for the thousandth time. Just let people react how they do and calm yourself down.
I can't imagine many of the folks out fighting for the honor and sanctity of the Odyssey even gave a damn about it until it entered the culture war. Now, it must be protected at all costs, and there are a huge # scholars on the source material.
Oppenheimer was rated R "for some sexuality, nudity and language," officially.
The Odyssey is rated R "for violence and some language," officially.
Anyone who was "blindsided" by Oppenheimer's nudity simply didn't take the time to see that nudity was literally mentioned in the rating blurb itself. And because it's not mentioned in The Odyssey's blurb, comparatively, I would be surprised if there's any nudity this go around.

I'm not going to devolve the thread into discussing the purpose of humans. But if you are secular, the only true purpose of humans are our biological ones. That is to multiply. I know liberal women get offended by this... but, i have some bad news... females are meant to have kids and raise those kids. SHOCKING! I know.
And angry? lol. Not even a little bit. Exasperated and fatigued? Yes. I literally said that in my post. I will always respond to this hollywood elite idiocy with the same level of fatigue.
But now we're back to your standard ****-throwing diatribes of "why so angry, bro?" when you respond the exact same way to us, then claim you aren't angry. Never stop being a hypocrite, it's way too amusing.

We're having fun here, right? Right?

Nudity can mean a lot of very different things. An ass cheek. Boobs. Stuff that we have all seen in National Geographic magazines.
It has been more than a hot second since I watched the movie - I have not had a desire to rewatch despite my life long love of all things WWII - but I seem to recall some full frontal nudity revolving around a sex scene. Perhaps I'm mis-remembering ... If I am recalling the movie right, then that is exactly what blindsided me.

No.
Get off your ****ing high horse.
You're literally trying to police me while telling me I can't police others (even though that's not at all what I'm doing).
I could also say the same about you, in the opposite direction - that "you're weirdly trying to dunk on a movie you have nothing to do with, for the thousandth time" and that you "need to calm yourself down," considering you're just as obsessed and incessant in your quest as I apparently am in mine, seeing as you literally will not stop posting negative sentiments about something you've yet to see for yourself. Behavior I find just as baffling as you find mine.

I like how the ratio is blamed on conservatives when quite frankly I think a lot of us are just tired of someone being a complete ***** on almost every thread that involves people who don't hold the opinion he does
You realize I don't give a **** if people I don't like don't like me, right? You're never going to sway me, no matter how many times you tell me you're tired of me. In fact, it just emboldens me. Because I know if someone like you finds me to be a "*****" I must be doing something right.
TBH this is a little weird man.
Don't care.
I'm never trying to police you, but, it would be cool if at some point you'd learn that you can express your counterargument without being condescending/gaslighting/rude. For example, you could just say, I get why her saying that kind of thing could bother some people, but it doesn't really bother me because ______________. That way you'd give your take but not seem like you're throwing a tantrum because someone is criticizing a project you're protective of. Notice that I didn't post that tweet reaction to her interview with the caption "Hey TCTTS, lets see you defend this you woke ******." And yet you tend to always react like it IS personal and it IS about you, and it really isn't. That's not policing, just hoping you'll ever calm down.
One of the reasons I know you're not being genuine is because you NEVER care how condescending/gaslighting/rude those are whom you agree with. Some of the most vile **** is posted in these threads, people call me names all the damn time, yet you never, ever say a word to them about their attitudes/posting habits, seeing as you share their same, general opinion.
Not to mention, you're an ass to me all the damn time as well. You're often incredibly condescending, mocking, etc, while you've also made fun of what you perceive to be my job/status/place in the industry numerous times. I can't count the amount of times you've finger wagged at me for making something personal, in between you making things personal just the same.
So forgive me if I don't buy your "good guy" routine for the umpteenth time, when you roll around in the mud just the same. Talk about gaslighting. You're maybe the most hypocritical person I've ever come across on this board in terms of what you critique vs what you excuse / engage in yourself.

While I'm very happy with the casting of Helen, one of the reasons I'm committed to supporting the film, If Nolan really wanted to be bold, he might have instead reclaimed the Odyssey's original status as a song. In ancient Greece, this was not a text - few members of its audience could read. It was performed. Sung.
Dude, he has Travis Scott in it. Did it not occur to you that maybe it's because Scott will be rap-narrating the entire movie?

So - playing a manipulator and a liar? I get the casting decision now.

Maybe things are just different these days, but by age 10 or so, I had already seen Total Recall, Terminator, Predator, Die Hard, Rambo, etc all the classics like that. And that was common as I remember a bunch of us in class trying to figure out the science behind the 3 breasted woman in Total Recall.

We all had that friend who's parents didn't pay attention to what we rented during sleepovers. By age 10 I had already seen Slumber Party Massacre, lol.
If you didn't try to rent Porky's you weren't a real boy.
In a world where pride, ego, & entitlement continue to fuel wars & endless bloodshed, Nolan uses Odysseus’ ancient tale as a channel to question what it would take for us to truly forgive our past sins. Epic and meditative in equal measure, the ending left me soaring with hope.

Now that the social embargo is up I can say that Samantha Morton’s sequence in THE ODYSSEY is perhaps the best of the entire film and we’re going to be talking about it for years to come. If you know, you know.

Nolan tapping into a side he hasn’t really shown before. https://t.co/3CLlpY0VWS
For those curious, in addition to his role as The Bard, Travis Scott has a new original song that plays during THE ODYSSEY’s credits. James Blake takes the lead on vocals and it’s produced and co-written by Ludwig Göransson too. Nolan officially in the Cactus Jack crew.
