The movie is never going to be better than the book. For many reasons. One of which is because you're gonna have to cut a lot because you don't have enough time. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you he forgot to add this, he changed this. It's a lot is going to change. Part for the course. Most was actually very that he was taking the story, remaining as faithful to it as possible, and changing only the things that he needed to absolutely get his message across. Because ultimately, that's the whole point. He's telling his story. And I I just made a video about it. But here are I absolutely did not like that made it honestly almost unwatchable. 1.The Armor/Costume Design. This is not even close to the worst armor in the movie. I just don't have photos of the Trojans. I could have ever possibly imagined. To eat my words on this one. 1.The Armor/Costume Design. Why Matt Damon's Odysseus is not that bad. The last year. And a half that the costuming can't possibly be that bad. And also, it's take you out that much. No, it was could have ever possibly imagined. 1.The Armor/Costume Design. Telemachus is wearing fucking pants. I don't know which I hated worse. The paper mache. The paper mache. Something resembling a helmet worn by the Trojans or like the medieval knights with no design or spirit to them, uh, of the Leistergonians. It was all a fucking mess, and it was so bad. And Menelaus looked like Darth Vader and it I could have it was so have to imagine that there was a rhyme or reason. I will share my theory in the next video. Behind why Nolan decided to do that, but I cannot it out. 2. Helen and Menelaus' relationship. Didn't like Helen and Menelaus's relationship in the Odyssey, their relationship is much more amicable. Very full of self pity, and she's like, so sorry, uh, to Menelaus, and she's like, kind of self loathing and stuff. And Menelaus just has, like, of jolly disposition. He is, like, Telemachus, and he's like a, good, uh, these things. Menelaus and Helen. Their relationship in they fucking hated each other. All these scars on her face like Menelaus beats her or something. I have. I have no idea the reason behind that choice was. I'm just not seeing something. 3. Melanithius' Character change. Third thing, this probably isn't gonna of people, bothered me. He changes the relationship dynamic between the three animal herders. Eumaeus. Swineherd Eumaeus, the cowherd Philotetes, Philotius, Melanthius. And the goatherd Melanthius. And Melanthius the goatherd is the bad guy. And Eumaeus the he's like the swineherd and Melanthius. Melanthius = Treacherous.... Cowherd(?). The cowherd. That is that the reason that Did Melanithius invent the "Evil Goat" Trope? Melanthius is evil. Sort of associated with this goat trope. Because goats are like, more aggressive. A very luscious and difficult to tame. Of the zoo. A very voracious sexual lusciousness and sexual appetite. Which is why of the suitors and Eumaeus is not. There's so much symbolism tied into the goat thing, and the fact that they changed him the cowherd kinda defeats the purpose of the connection. It was one where I'm like, not that big, but why would you change it? What I kinda whole, like, attention to detail. Bad and their accents were bad, like, all these little things that kinda. Just, like, slowly pull you more and more out of the story and makes it hard to watch. With that being said, I thought it was pretty good overall. The themes that they covered and, the story that Nolan himself is trying to tell. I'm not the first to say this. We've been tricked. A film by Christopher Nolan. The Odyssey. 19:02. The Odyssey is Christopher Nolan's Trick. Jonathan Pageau. 2 days ago. But it is very much like a Trojan horse. Stay tuned for my next video talking about the decline of civilization.
