So, for instance, there are wondrous images in Inception.
I don't think it's a great movie, but I think it's a movie that is, at moments, really audiovisually startling.
The Odyssey is not audiovisually startling at any moment.
Really?
The Odyssey is filmed in some oddly transparent, style-free way.
It's pictures of actors acting.
There's a lot of battlefield churn done in very quick cuts.
But essentially, he's transmitting.
He's not creating.
What do you mean by that?
Tease that out.
I get the feeling that he puts a lot more thought into the decor, a lot more thought into the landscapes, a lot more thought into the dialogue, a lot more thought into the messaging than he's putting into the way it looks and feels.
And it's almost as if style, some sort of audiovisual artifice, would seem like a betrayal of a fundamental idea that he wants to get across.
I don't want to attribute evil motives to the people who were upset, but I do.
I think that it's simply a matter of plain and simple racism.
I don't think that there are a great many classic scholars in the group of people who are criticizing that casting decision.
But I actually think when the hard right cadre sees...
The Odyssey.
They're going to be upset by something much more than the casting.
What's that?
