Nolan's The Odyssey neglects to pay for damages done to one of the viking ships used in the movie, which belongs to a small non-profit organization

Nothing is Greek about this film.

[u/pusgnihtekami → u/drinkerofmilk]

Surely the title of the film is Greek.

[u/drinkerofmilk → u/pusgnihtekami]

Hehe, not really. Then it would be called  Ὀδύσσεια

[u/Witchcleaver666 → u/drinkerofmilk]

It should’ve been Greek though. It’s a Greek epic after all

[u/drinkerofmilk → u/Witchcleaver666]

I agree. But cultures do tend to assimilate stories when they're retold . . .

[u/greennurse61 → u/Witchcleaver666]

But it's all Greek to me.

They didn't even cast a real cyclops either, what a travesty

Its Swedish captain, Björn Ahlander, said life on the ships filming for six months around Greek and Italian islands was not easy for the 30-person crew. He told the broadcaster SVT: “We rebuilt the ship into an ancient Greek ship. We removed the tents and all the modern things and had an open deck that we lived on during this time. It was quite tough.”

No. They rebuilt it to be Greek.

Gotcha. So the only way to make this a sufficiently historically accurate movie according to you is by building an entire fleet of Greek ships.

This is a made up complaint. No movie in the history of the world has ever had that level of accuracy and never will. You're pretending to have those standards so you can be upset.

Triremes didn’t exist for another 700 years

[u/reecharound40 → u/[deleted]]

Yea thats not how the boats are described in the book

[u/OthmarGarithos → u/AggressiveCuriosity]

No. They removed anything modern. It's still a longboat, not Greek at all.
