My favorite part of this article:
Although “humbled” that Nolan has read her translation, she is blunt in her assessment of his creation: “I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.” Wilson’s rhetorical climax has been widely circulated: “It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words. There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.”
I actually agree with Emily’s review, I liked the movie but it was still just mid. I mean, three hours long in ancient Greece and nobody fucks? Come on man.



The movie looks good?
I watched it and it’s a good watch, far less boring or brooding than I expected honestly. It’s just got bad writing, especially considering it’s adapting one of the most influential and studied texts in western literature.
