Since you are so proud of Greek myths, you should probably actually read them. In The Odyssey, Poseidon visits the Ethiopians who honour him with a feast. It wouldn't have been that strange to have people who are not white in the area.

[@RLplusabunchofdumbnumbers]

One, Homeric Greece is a fictional period - it's not actually history. Two, that's so much the case that we're not even sure if Homer's Ithaca is the same as modern Ithaca (it's likely, but not certain). Three, Ithaca has been inhabited since at least the neolithic period - i.e., **before** the migrations of the Indo-European peoples than would become the Mycenaeans. So, you're looking at the fictional/mythological world of heroic epic that somewhat represents a pre-Bronze Age collapse Mycenaean world - a world where we know that the actual historical counterpart had extensive trading and diplomatic contacts with the Phoenicians, Egyptians, the Levant - and you're complaining that the actors playing these fictional characters don't match your pre-conceptions of what these fictional characters looked like? No problem with a British Odysseus? No problem with a Welsh Pisander? Juliette Binoche has Brazilian ancestry - are we still okay with her? What precisely are the criteria by which you're deciding who is and is not acceptable to play a mythological Achaean?

[@lav3nderg00mz]

I agree with you, those in the comments making excuses are okay with re-writing history and clearly have an agenda.

The Odyssey is an AMAZING read! The moment Odysseus in disguise, as an old beggar, effortlessly strings his old bow and plucks the taught string, after all the suitors had failed, the sound reverberating in the halls of his palace and lifting the hypnotic blindness they were cursed with, and finally they see, THEY SEE WHO THEY HAVE IN FRONT OF THEM - and then the killing starts...!

If you knew your history, the Greeks learned much of what they knew from Kemetic and Nubian Africans. Philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, science, art, architecture.

Keanu and Arnie together? This movie is basically the ’90s action movie fan's dream on steroids 💥. I’m just waiting for Keanu to say, 'I’m too old for this,' and Arnie to reply, 'Not as old as me.' 🤖🍿

[@mbdulka]

Black Greeks, no thanks ...

[@AndrewSunada]

Yoooo!!! Finally a serious, gritty movie about Greek mythology!

[@Kamil_Franciszek]

In 1:14 i saw modern ideology... sad :(

[@ChrisLawton66]

🙄

[@stephenpmurphy591]

Cultural appropriation of European history...

[@notyetrain]

No actually that's just a regular word in the English language

[@damienaurelius4802]

No one have a Mediterranean appearance.

The Odyssey is what started me on the path to become a writer. I loved Armand Assante in the role but am excited to see this interpretation.

[@organismseven3700]

The Odyssey 2024. Just another remake, including the now compulsory required quota of ethnic representation. Nope, No Thanks.

[@marekkos3513]

The Odyssey tv mini series 1997 is the best so far.I love it , and I really recommend it.

[@dalemsilas8425]

Odysseus is still not black in this one too though. Good effort but i want to see the real black Odysseus.

[@DarmokAtTanagra]

Great to see this classic updated and fleshed out with a real top-notch cast.

[@LuisBei]

The trailer showed the whole movie. Thank you.

[@vaselina3625]

For the readers, pick up Claire North “Last song of Penelope”, it looks to me that this movie may be based on it. A really good novel 👍🏾

[@nickfrank4936]

this looks really good. how the hell has Ralph Fiennes still not an Oscar?!

[@TheKnightsShield]

He's been nominated twice, but still nothing yet, maybe this film will change his fortune. I just discovered by looking on his IMDB page that he is the 8th cousin of King Charles, so he at least has that going for himself.

[@hammertimewes]

Love the modern haircut at 1:08, fits the theme perfectly!

[@cypresse1620]

Just hand Ralph the Oscar already!!!

[@irena4545]

This looks GREAT! I have so little hope for movies these days, but this seems like it might be a golden nugget among you-know-what. Odysseus, my favourite hero... Please, please, please, don't fail my hopes yet again!

[@Konel_13]

Love that this movie appears to pick up as soon as Odysseus returns, making us as the audience wonder if the legendary journey he took really did occur or not

[@poodius7]

I love movies like this. The Odyssee is a classic. I loved Bekim Fehmiu in Dino De Laurentiis' Odysseus. De Laurentiis cast Bekim as Odysseus in the acclaimed mini-series in 1968. I hope the new version does justice to its legacy.

[@akasgsvirgil9503]

I am quite surprised no one has produced a film or franchise that deals with Odysseus's 20 years journey home. I suppose the optimal time for that film would've been after Troy was released back in 2004. This films looks good. And Voldemort got ripped!

[@LFire12]

I think probably because these days they'd have to substantially edit or remove aspects of the story, as basically Odysseus cheats on Penelope multiple times on his way home, which to a modern audience would reduce his appeal a LOT.

[@Rexini_Kobalt]

this is great. the ending was always my favorite part of the odyssey, although i never imagined it quite as bleakly. cant wait to see when he takes his revenge!
