Although Odyssey Receiving pre-release backlash from some people in the MAGA-verse, right-wing influencer Ben Shapiro is a fan of Christopher Nolan’s take on the epic story.
“The film is a masterpiece,” he declared in an 18-minute review posted on YouTube, where he gave the film an 8.5/9 on a 10-point scale. He praises Matt Damon as Odysseus, Robert Pattinson as Antinous and Tom Holland as Telemachus and has no big problem with Zendaya as Athena and Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy.
“I know a lot of people were like, ‘Oh my God, Lupita Nyong’o is supposed to look like Diane Kruger.’ I don’t know. Diane Kruger doesn’t look very Greek. She’s German,” Shapiro responds. Rapper Travis Scott as Bard seems a bit annoying, but he has a small role. Zendaya doesn’t look particularly Greek and it doesn’t bother Shapiro in the least.
“Casting Zendaya in this role doesn’t change anything… Zendaya is doing a good job, and it doesn’t bother me at all,” he adds.
But Shapiro objects to Elliot Page as Sinon.
“I know there are a lot of conservatives who are already being flogged about the movie. Because it’s stupid to portray Elliot Page as a man. He’s just stupid,” Shapiro declares. His cinematic sense that any choice that takes him away from a film’s narrative is a negative goes into the red with Page, who reunites with Nolan afterward. beginning.
“Elliot Page was a woman with mental issues who thought she was a man and had surgeries to make her look more like a man, but she’s still about five feet two inches tall and 105 pounds, and she’s wet, and she has a woman’s voice. It doesn’t work,” Shapiro says. He personally criticizes Page, who came out as transgender in 2020. In fact, he can’t get over Page’s choice at all.
“It’s an inadvertent mistake. Now I’m not going to speculate on why Nolan did this,” Shapiro says, before he begins weaving conspiracy theories popular among podcasters. “Maybe he’s personally friendly with Elliot Page, and he feels bad for Elliot Page, because Elliot Page is a certain person, and he’s been friends with that person ever since he did that. beginning together. Maybe this is actually some sort of Oscar-baiting attempt.
But conservatives still have to come out to the complex to watch odyssey, And I don’t wish it to die at the box office with Paige in the cast. “No, the movie won’t work because of that,” Shapiro concluded. “It turns out that when people are willing to entertain, they’re willing to entertain even bad dental defects if the smile turns out to be beautiful.”
So conservatives, no matter how angry they are, should not reject it Odysseywithout seeing him first. Shapiro added: “The broader theme of the film is actually very much in line with many of the things conservatives believe. If you let Elliot Page kill that for you, I think you’re missing out on an amazing movie-going experience.”
