00:00Here are the 4 biggest controversies that have affected Christopher Nolan's Odyssey.
00:03Well, there's been all sorts of things, we'll start with the most recent, with the
00:06criticism of the actors' language.
00:07Purists of antiquity and internet users mocked the highly modernized language choices.
00:10Christopher Nolan defended this approach and asked viewers to wait until they saw the film before...
00:14judge.
00:14Afterwards, if they had spoken like in antiquity, it would have been watchable.
00:16We also had the racist controversy surrounding the casting of Hélène de Troyes; that's the one that made
00:19the most noise.
00:20Nolan chose Mexican-Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong'o, and Elon Musk and other figures of the American right
00:24are entrenched at the battlefield,
00:25accusing Nolan of having desecrated Homer by denouncing the choice of a black actress to portray the most beautiful woman
00:29of the world.
00:30Moreover, more broadly, the film has been accused of being woke, particularly with the casting of Eliot Page.
00:33who embodies Sinon,
00:34who is transgender in real life, or the casting of Travis Scott.
00:37We also faced accusations of colonialism, because part of the film was shot in Dakhla, in the Sahara
00:41western,
00:42and this territory is considered to be illegally occupied by Morocco.
00:44And so major figures in cinema, including Ravier Bardem, Pedro Almodovar, and Paul Laverti, signed a letter
00:49open to condemn this choice.
00:50And finally, there was the controversy over the costumes, with Agalemnon's black armor,
00:53which looked far too much like a stocking, and which would never have had that appearance,
00:56and Nolan defended himself, citing research on Mycenaean bronze and ancient representations.
