Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is one of the most subversive adaptations in Hollywood history

The Odyssey is obviously a cultural lightning rod. There’s heated debate on all sides when it comes to questionable casting decisions, modernized dialogue, whether Hollywood’s biggest star, Christopher Nolan (yes, you heard that right), simply used Emily Wilson’s liberal, feminist translation of Homer’s epic as inspiration or directly pulled from it, and more heavily debated topics surrounding the film over the last few months.

Nolan called those criticisms "irrelevant" because the film hadn’t come out yet.
