Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey (spoilers, don't read if you haven't seen the movie))

[emptiness dancing]

Anybody want to talk about this movie?

I was expecting to watch an epic like troy. Just "mentions" of gods or deities

Then the cyclops appear. I love it. 
Before this, I remember the cyclops as just being cartoonish.

I means just look at this.

But Christopher Nolan's version is a semi "cosmic horror' cyclops.

It didn't talk to and give a damn about humans, it just eats them.
it looks so real and unnerving .

I really liked the movie. I liked how it was adapted and how the story was told. It also looked beautiful.

Yeah the cyclop was cool haha.

One of my favourite things was the twist with Athena.

But that cyclops was really dumb to keep the humans trapped in there 😹

Am I right to think that Athena took the form of a beheaded Priestress to force Odysseus to contemplate on what he has done?

In hindsight, you're right! I don't the whole narrative why the cyclops was the way it is. 
I just remembered his demeanor in the cave was  disturbing.

@Leo Gura fr. I've not seen the odyssey yet but I already know Nolan will squander thr fantastical/mythical elements of the story, like the cyclops. Such a shame.
