Yes! It felt like a trait of book Odysseus that was missing from this version so it felt kinda out of characters. If the script had more bits where he was super cocky and prideful it’d worked better and felt that much more satisfying when he realizes his sins by the end

My main irks were Damon very hit and miss Nolan’s damn sound design Lots of flatly delivered rushed dialogue especially in the first half Way it was shot sometimes made even big things feels smaller. Sense of scale felt at times betrayed by the shot composition

Really enjoyed The Odyssey Breathtaking filmmaking but sprinkled with enough storytelling issues that kept me from really loving it. (Why everybody flatly rushing their lines?) In spurts though (cyclops , Circe, final stretch that ties it all together) it had me in awe

You watched this map take shape for months. Now it exists in the room: pressed into paper, edged in gold, stamped by hand, numbered. Mercator never kept his maps. He drew them so others could cross. Pre-order in bio. Until July 12. www.yoannlossel.com/labyrinth-ma...

The complete horizontal fantasy map. A vast central tower-city rises
from floating islands, ringed by circular painted medallions in gold
frames, an ornate art nouveau border, and a compass rose. Handwritten
notes and a legend edge the map.
