Emily Wilson, welcome to Fresh Air.
I thought we would begin just because a lot of people know something about the Odyssey but may not have thought about it in a long time.
Just give us a quick summary of the plot.
What is the story about?
Okay, that's a good quick summary.
In interviews before Christopher Nolan's film was released, you recommended that people should go and see it.
You wrote a pretty tough review.
Do you still think people should see it?
Right.
Actors are amazing, not doing very much with character, right?
I mean, the language was pretty tough.
You're right.
I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.
It's a family-friendly audiovisual spectacle like an elaborate Fourth of July fireworks display with about the same level of narrative and emotional depth.
You also complain that there are no sex scenes and all the food looks horrible.
By the time I saw the film, I had spent a lot of time preparing for this interview.
So my head was into The Odyssey and some of your work.
And I found the film disappointing, honestly.
And one of the reasons was that the gods and goddesses in The Odyssey are really active creatures.
They intervene in human events.
