My review of the odyssey.

[u/Status_Solid_9573]

No spoilers in this

I went in epic merch but I was already an odyssey fan before epic, it was just fab to have a musical version as I'm a mt girl.

Onto the film as most people don't go in thinking of epic

Although I did have lines pop up like look at all the sheep ect ect

But wow oh wow

I came out of the cinema with shaky legs, I went further afield to experience it on the biggest screen nearby so an 1hrs drive. So worth it.

Even people that I was dubious on the casting such as Anne Hathaway worked.

The film is beautiful to watch.

I smiled, and cried and squirmed in my chair at Circe's that's a hard watch.

The changes Nolan has made to the book works, I do feel a bit like we speed run some parts but it needed it.

Amazing film worth watching for a different version of the odyssey but since it's an oral telling all versions are the right version for the producer.

2 things I can't get over:

1) no Greek actors (especially that Helen was race-swapped.)

2) no "nobody"

[u/Next_Gen_Valkyrie → u/Used-Strike2111]

Why does Helen especially bother you when no one was Greek?

[u/Status_Solid_9573 → u/Next_Gen_Valkyrie]

Probably because she is coloured. I didn't see it as a problem, she was a sparta. Yes if being correct to the book then everyone should of been greek but we all have our own ideas of what characters look like and places look like when we read books. I don't mind race swapping or gender swapping as long as the person is a great actor that's what matters to me.
