The Odyssey

By the simple vision of such a cast in a movie directed by Nolan we all knew it was going to be a masterpiece and so did I, but I didn’t expect it to be THAT good. Because it is THAT good. I was stunned when at the end the names started rolling, stuck in my seat, still unable to believe how much my eyes had been blessed. I know some people are going to say that the casting isn’t "historically accurate" but let’s not forget it is mythology, and it can be interpreted differently without the story changing, and the actors chosen impersonated their characters to the perfection. And for everything else, I have no words to express the beauty of it all. We’ve been transported to so many different worlds, following Ulysses’ journey, through his own words to Calypso. I was going through those horrors with him, feeling his torture, enduring, living, breathing with him through the movie. Wow. And the landscapes, the environment and the dimension of this Ancient Greece we were brought in was so breathtaking. I have nothing bad to say about this movie, not a single bad thought. This is the new interstellar, the new gladiator, the modern valuable blockbuster. The shortest 3 hours of my life.
