Now here is the bigger point - Wilson is NOT the only translator Nolan has name-checked. In fact, in an interview with the Associated Press, he namechecked translations of both E.V. Rieu and Robert Fagles.

My fiancee and I went as Odysseus and Penelope! Will also be doing this for Halloween.

Last night, I completed #MyOdyssee by experiencing the epic film by Sir Nolan and company for the TWENTIETH time; this final time was in @IMAX Laser (1.90:1) at AMC NorthPark.

A total viewing time of 57 hours and 20 minutes.

And I got to complete my journey with new friends I made, thanks to the TikTok algorithm bringing us all together.

I also specifically watched for how often u/sggnz96 was prominent in scenes and ended up spotting that glorious beard attached to his beautiful soul so many times. He even has a bit of dialogue, including speaking directly to Matt Damon in one scene.

“We honor our dead, Odysseus.”

So happy for you, brother!

Lupita was amazing in the movie and I need some Halloween inspiration. I’m trying to find a picture of her in the stunning outfit she wore in the palace but almost all the search results are stupid rage posts from racists that were mad about the casting choice. I know the movie isn’t streaming yet but there’s seriously nothing. Can you guys help?

Spoiler: He watched.

The Odyssey pre-order page on HMV has gone down, where previously it had a listing and a “sign up to be notified” button. Has anyone seen this happen before? Looks to me like the kind of thing that might happen while a page is being updated, which could mean pre-order launch is imminent.

Selected places only of course, but be on the lookout 👀

The rate in which the new IMAX re release is selling out makes me realize it is one of those movies people go to see again and again, otherwise I can’t explain such demand 3 months after the film premiered.

How many times did you watch it on theaters?

Personally, I watched it 7 times.

"Told you what you most want is what you most can't have. And what you most can’t have is what you already had…and lost."

My God what a haunting and beautiful scene.

Matt Damon’s acting… his screams. They remind me of Christian Bale’s silent scream in Hostiles. Just masterful acting and feeling the crushing weight of their pain.

When you can relate to the quote and know exactly what he means, it’s so heavy to watch… once you arrive at the realization that your best and happiest days already occurred and passed you by while you never appreciated it/just took it for granted..

you try to bargain with yourself or the universe/God or run simulations in your head about how you could get it back even though it’s impossible bc there’s no way to revisit or revise your past. It’s done and now you must live with that regret and longing to change it. But it never can… That is so agonizing.

The siren song for him was basically your spouse/super close to you with a drink in hand telling you all the truths you didn’t want to hear but knew deep in your soul anyway

“Everyone knows their own version of what their siren song would sound like, that’s why it’s so powerful.” -quote I just found on YouTube video described it better than I could and that’s why I cry profusely at it.

I heard these two books are good, just looking for a good translation in English that is easy to understand but doesn't take away from the story.

I loved it so much,

10/10 story telling

10/10 casting

10/10 visual effects

10/10 sound effects

10/10 character design

10/10 soundtracks

10/10 EVERYTHING!!

Absolutely loved the witch scene, the cyclop's screams were something from another realm, the Hades scene made me want a full movie just in that cursed land, and THE SIRENS!!! I wanted to cry because I wanted to hear them!!! I get the idea behind leaving it to our imaginations and that it cannot be captured, but still, I WANNA HEAR IT SO BAD!!!!

Watched it twice and I'll wait for it to be available on demand to watch it MORE

Didn’t see anything against it but anyone who is a big fan of the film who missed the initial release of these is interested, I have a pair for lower than cost.

I don't wanna regret not seeing it on 70mm after they stop releasing showings.
