  • but it got me wondering if this was supposed to mean that others began following their ways of engaging in dishonesty and dishonor worldwide. I kept assuming throughout the movie that they'd suddenly have an attack by that group; this aspect of the story was also something I found interesting.

    Yes, I think the giants scene was that. Work spread of the men from the sea to the giants weren't taking chances and fought the strangers.

    After finishing the movie I told my friend I could tell it would make mythology nerds angry, they are a mythology nerd too and didn't love it. It's one of those ignorance is bliss things


  • I haven't read the Odyssey nor do I study much on Greek myths, so I had a great time. I was worried it would be a stale hero's journey on conquest, was, strong men so I appreciates the reflective telling instead.

    When the dialog and styling were more modern and then Charlize Theoron cat walked on that island like a model, I knew the intention was to be a modern adaption. The Odyssey isn't Shakespeare so those creative liberties were what Nolan wanted.

    I held my breath on what the intent of the movie was but the "men from the sea" fucking up Zeus law causing people to forever lose their trust in each other was perfect. Then having to be punished by being the men from the sea was great too, you destroyed humanity now take your lashings, your greatest military success was a disaster for humanity.

So just like AI, the question is advancement for which humans? And the answer for either AI or Space Race is the same
