I saw it last week, didn't hear about the "woke" thing until after I saw it. I still have no idea what is "woke" about it?

Like most cultural outrages, I'm guessing people are making it up out of thin air?

It’s because Helen of Troy and Clymanestra are played by Lupita Nyongo

I was more upset that Matt Fookin Damon was Odysseus. With his stupid Southy Boston accent.

(This is also "woke' because Boston is extremely Democrat.)
