I hope his entire crew will make it back home alive

My colleague asked if the trailer was spoilery. My dude, it's 4000 years old.

It's kinda like O Brother,Where Art Thou.

To be fair, a lot of movies are nothong like their base material. Haven't seen Nolan's Odyssey so I can't say.

And even then I have no idea what it's about

ma'am you recently spent more than an hour speculating on how every single story beat would work on film, i think you're going into this pre-spoiled

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 7 points 5 days ago

I'm usually bad at detecting sarcasm and cheek, but I thought she must be taking the piss here.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Felt the same way about 'Titanic' and "Lincoln.'

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 8 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I wonder how well it would work out if a filmmaker were to make a high-profile movie inspired and named after some well known myth or historical event like these, and then have it suddenly change to a blatant alternate ending a good chunk of the way through that goes completely the reverse of how it "should" go down. Something different enough that it was obvious they were doing this on purpose and weren't just ignorant of the original story

spoiler for Tarantino moviesOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood and to a lesser extent Inglorious Basterds do this.

A few years ago I read a fantastic webnovel (more like an epic) called Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, where the main character lives through the events of the webnovel he's just finished reading. Its universe involves recreating historical events and at some points he just throws caution to the wind and does the opposite of what's supposed to happen

Bjorn beat me to it.

TV show Kaos did something like that. Zeus, Prometheus, Medusa et al in modern dress. They took the old myths and played around with them. Persephone actually loves Hades, for example.

I hope they meet the cyclops who teaches them that the real Odyssey is the the power of friendship

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago

The real Odyssey was the sea monsters we narrowly escaped along the way

Don't worry, he gets better.

I'll spoil this much: They really knocked it out of the park with this movie. One might say it was a Homer.

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The sirens of cinema are calling.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Quick, bind me to the mast! No, it's not "a sex thing," you're gross for even saying that. Just to prove it, twist my nipples really hard, and if I seem at all turned on, then call me a bad boy and spank me. Ew, no, that's just your dirty mind making things up. Maybe I should be the one spanking you.
