Elon Musk: ‘A glaringly obvious double-standard’ to “Why does an actor’s race matter?!” Ok… now imagine it was this:

Folks, every time the Marxists and anti-white racist low lifes of the Democrat Party in media replace a white historical figure for a black, like black Vikings, Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, etc,  we boycott. We tell all readers – and that film ALWAYS bombs compared to what it would have done had they been accurate. Spread the word. If anyone on Fakebook or anywhere says ‘What’s the big deal?’ As the Left loves to say ONLY when Whites are replaced – show them this page. Save it! – Mike Anthony.

I will not go and see Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey“, not even from a critical perspective. I am a cinephile, and I know Nolan is an excellent director, but he deserves to be sanctioned. Anyone who obeys the new woke norms no longer deserves our money. This must become a habit, a trend: these deeply harmful films that degrade our image internationally must fail at the box office. Let’s launch this operation: who will NOT go to the cinema to see this spit in the face of our civilization? Let millions of us boycott it. Share if you agree. I am not asking this to create buzz for myself, but because I WANT this film to fail. –  Daniel C

 

Here’s something I really think needs to be pointed out about the controversy surrounding Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey. The reason for the backlash goes much deeper than people just being angry about the “woke” casting. The real issue is that Nolan has built such an incredibly strong reputation that he is in a position where he could genuinely do almost anything he wanted creatively. Even if studios pushed back, he has enough influence to secure funding elsewhere or even invest his own money into the project. What he could have done, and in my opinion should have done, was first and foremost hire a significant number of Greek actors, especially actors who are well known within Greece rather than mainstream Hollywood. That alone would have added a huge layer of authenticity to the film. Of course, you can still have some Hollywood A listers involved, but not to the point where they completely overshadow the core cast and identity of the movie.

Then there’s the most obvious point of all. Helen of Troy would not have been black, nor would a Greek goddess. That is not racism. It is simply historical and cultural accuracy. And yes, the same logic applies in reverse. It would be equally ridiculous to cast white actors as mythical African characters. That should go without saying. Another strange decision is the language and dialogue style Nolan appears to be using. He has opted for modern American English, and it just sounds bizarre in this kind of setting. For decades, historical epics tended to use a more classical style of British English, sometimes mixed with foreign accents depending on the character. No, that was not the literal language spoken in ancient Greece or Rome, but it helped create the feeling of an older and more noble form of communication that suited the world being portrayed.

For some reason, many directors in recent years have abandoned that approach entirely and replaced it with completely modern American speech patterns, seemingly because English was never the original language anyway, so now nothing matters. I think that’s the wrong approach, and Nolan is far from the only one guilty of it. Hearing Napoleon speak with a modern American accent in Ridley Scott’s film also felt incredibly jarring. What’s especially interesting about all of this is that we are now entering a time where AI is becoming so advanced that some kid sitting in his bedroom could eventually create a full length historical epic without capitulating to modern Hollywood trends or making the same mistakes directors like Nolan are making. And that film could potentially end up being more widely accepted and celebrated than what major studios are producing. I think that’s the bigger lesson people like Nolan may eventually have to learn.

I mean, seriously folks – i refuse to see this movie, EVER….

Christopher Nolan Completely Missed With The Odyssey “You make a movie about the emergence of Greece and not a single person you cast is Greek? What are we even doing here?” “And there’s rumors that Elliot Page is going to play Achilles. Brad Pitt as Achilles was an absolute warrior. He actually tore his Achilles tendon filming that movie. You can’t replace that kind of physical presence with Elliot Page.”
