Cristopher Nolan must be trolling us.
I think Cristopher Nolan decided to make an expensive social experiment.
He made a movie so outrageous and foolish that you cannot take seriously. He wanted to see how will critics and the audience would react to a troll movie but marketed as a serious effort.
He basically sent the king naked in the town square and wants to see if people present there are going to call it out or pretend the king is not naked.
How can Odyssey not a be troll movie?
Are you telling me he casted a black Helen? A woman as Achilles? And expects us to take it seriously? How can that be the case? He must not have gotten insane all of a sudden.
I think he wanted to ridicule the WOKE and thought to himself "Ok, Holywood, so you want WOKE? I am going to give you so much UBER WOKE that it is going to be hilarious and show to all how ridiculous it can be!!"
I think he just wasted 250 million dollars just to show the world how crazy some ideas are.
And he is going to go out to interviews a week after the movie premiers and admit that he wanted to humiliate the WOKE concepts and that only a fool would take his movie seriously.
The only other explanation if my hypothesis is wrong, is that Nolan has gone truly nuts. From the director that has given so many well thought out films, that will be some shock.
