The Odyssey

[SK8R LUNG]

its true, dialogue is not nolan's wheelhouse. he is very much a master of spectacle and storytelling. but i don't think it harms his films as much as people claim. he's addressed the criticism a few times as well, IIRC he said that identifying the mechanism doesn't invalidate its usage. sometimes exposition, even if its constant, works for what is intended

yeah i would tend to agree. i found it to be more of an aesthetic thing, but something you can just accept and move past. i also think it's a more difficult story to create dialogue for in a modern film than emily wilson is giving credit for. like the speech in the text gets translated all kinds of ways that are like anachronistic or archaic sounding
