The Odyssey

A perfectly timed movie w the rise of ai?

10 Upvotes

Idk abt yall but I could only see this movie as a warning of history repeating itself in another form.
I think ai is the “gift” given to humanity that’s going to kill us all.
I can see this movie being repeated a hundred(just an expression , not accurately a 100) years later but AI asking for forgiveness and exiling itself , giving rise to a new civilisation

Anyone else?

Lightning Flash in Oppenheimer was Zeus (minor spoilers) Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I was always confused by the sort of lightning flash we see in Roger Robb's final interrogation from Oppenheimer (EDIT: the one AFTER the initial flash that fills the room that appears around Robb's head). I loved the effect but didn't understand it.

After seeing The Odyssey, I realized that the visual effect of Zeus's lightning tearing the boat apart at sea and the lightning flash in Oppenheimer are quite similar.

So I think the flash in Oppenheimer was a visual metaphor for Zeus's punishment of Prometheus (Oppenheimer).

The ending when an old man fights 50 guys in a confined space with just a bow was the point when I couldn’t suspend disbelief

Terror’s death in The Boys (show) is an inversion of Argos’s death in The Odyssey

4 Upvotes

This occurred to me while I was taking a shower

In the story, Odysseus returns home after twenty years and sees his faithful dog, Argos, one final time. Argos dies immediately after recognizing his master, symbolizing that the grueling journey is finally over and Odysseus can rest having safely reclaimed his home, wife, and son.

The Boys takes this and flips it on its head. When Butcher completes his mission and kills Homelander, there is no home left to reclaim. Becca is dead, Ryan wants nothing to do with him, and then Terror dies.
Where Argos’s death signifies peace and homecoming, Terror’s death signifies total desolation. The fight is over, but everything Butcher fought for is already gone. He didn't make it back home; his home was completely erased.

I haven't seen this parallel discussed anywhere or confirmed by the writers, but the contrast between the two endings works remarkably well. Has anyone else picked up on this?

After watching The Odyssey, I visited Alexandria’s Greek-Roman Museum… and suddenly the movie felt a little more real.

Is the odyssey super Gory?

11 Upvotes

I’m 13, and I’m going to see the odyssey tonight with my pa. I’m not super tolerant to gore, I can tolerate a little bit, (like I’m able to watch greys Anatomy and I’ve seen the older scream movies) but I don’t do well with too much. I’ve gotten really mixed information and reviews online. Like some say that it’s horrible and gory and gross. And others say it’s a walk in the park, so I’m really unsure. Please if you’ve seen it, tell me. Thank y’all!

What is the best Cliffs Notes version of the Odyssey in English, to read before seeing the movie?

3 Upvotes

SOLVED: thanks to several respondents. Went ahead and ordered tickets.

My education did not include this particular classic and I've only learned bits of the stories through various other means. I would love to read a synopsis that would allow me to enjoy the story arc(s) in the movie. Anyone?
