La Odisea y el wokismo imaginario de Nolan

In the wake of the controversy surrounding Lupita Nyong'o's casting as Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, many have sought to see this as further proof that Hollywood, the Academy, or the dreaded "Wokism" have forced Nolan to betray Homer, Greek mythology, and, indeed, all of Western civilization. But this accusation falls apart at the seams. In this video, we discuss Orson Welles, Eartha Kitt, Helen of Troy, Faust, Derek Walcott, Emily Wilson, translations of The Odyssey, foundational myths, the Oscars' inclusion criteria, and the strange case of Christopher Nolan, who for years was accused of being conservative... until a Black actress was cast as Helen. Is Nolan desecrating The Odyssey? Or perhaps some have mistaken their mental image of the myth for Homer? Spoiler alert: the problem probably lies neither with Homer nor with Nolan. ---- ⭐ If you're looking to buy a geeky gift or pick up a collectible figure, my friends at EL ÁRBOL BLANCO have given me a coupon just for you.
