Emily Wilson criticizes Nolan's Odyssey
Christopher Nolan’s film adaptation of Homer’s “The Odyssey,” starring Matt Damon, has received mixed reviews. Classical scholar Emily Wilson critiqued the movie, expressing disappointment with its portrayal of characters, female roles, and themes, arguing that it simplifies the epic’s depth and moral complexity. Wilson also noted that, despite the adaptation's spectacle, it diverges from Homer’s original message about war and its human toll. The film was a major box office success, grossing over $264 million worldwide on a $250 million budget.
