I’m surprised everyone on lemmy hates this so much. I thought it was great, not the most amazing story or set design (apart from Agamemnon’s armor) but still great music, action, and cinematography
I expected to see Homer’s Odyssey, saw another liberal lecture to today using the past setting instead, and I hated it. That’s my main problem.
There wasn’t really much of anything being lectured tbh, yes they had their thing about how the trojan horse caused the original breaking of trust or zeus’ law or whatever but that was it and kind of in the background
The “we’re the sea people” and “the end of the Bronze Age” definitely felt like a lecturing to me.
And turning Odysseus into a soldier with PTSD from the warlord dealing with the hubris caused by his pride also another modern day appropriation.
Oh, those parts were just kinda there to me, I didn’t pay attention to it. What do you mean by the hubris caused by his pride? Isn’t hubris a synonym of pride?
Hubris is fundamentally tied to excessive pride. Many ancient tales handles this issue, like tales of Icarus, Gilgamesh, etc.
But you’re right, my usage is more of a language error because English is my third language.
