The stupidity of the entire stupid point being argued is she had NO IDEA The Odyssey existed. No one is claiming she should be 100% familiar with the source material. She said in her statement that she had zero idea that The Odyssey existed. None. That’s it. The at is profoundly stupid for a Yale Drama graduate. That someone could go through elite Western dramatic training at Yale and never even encounter Homer or The Odyssey in any meaningful way. The only thing more stupid than that is this argument and people apologizing for her stupidity.

She even says in that article that “She had performed a few monologues from Greek mythology in drama school at Yale, but was unfamiliar with the source material.” So, obviously this was part of the curriculum in some respect.

Here’s the 2025 curriculum: Acting (M.F.A. and Certificate) | Bulletin of Yale University

So given all that were supposed to believe she just had no clue this thing called The Odyssey existed… because she didn’t go to High School in the U.S. and maybe didn’t take the SAT?

okay Jan.

Yes, because it was an epic poem, not a play. Now if she was ignorant of famous Ancient Greek plays or playwrights, that would be a bigger red flag if she was majoring in film/theater studies since you would presume you would touch on that due to its foundational nature in the west in terms of plays/theater

Because there have never been any theatrical adaptations of the Odyssey, huh.

Of course there have. There has also been theatrical adaptations of Army of Darkness. It doesn't mean you're going to cover every work of fiction ever adapted into a play lol

She's black. She's got in because of DEI. It's that simple. No need for long diatribes or defending it. She's black... She got in because of white people guilt. Probably. Definitely.

No shit, just the ones that’ve had more cultural impact over the last three millenia than Evil Dead. Despite what some nerds might believe, “this is my boomstick!” isn’t gonna be a line that echoes through the ages.

And faggoty Oscar regs, not that any of us should give a shit about that but apparently Nolan does, or maybe the people producing it for him. I'm sure he's probably a producer though in some form or fashion.

Just don't watch this piece of shit, but feel free to make fun of it as much as possible, because it's going to be glorious.

Countless greek plays are adapted directly from, or expand upon the Homeric epics (Agamemnon trilogy, Ajax, etc). There is no fucking way in hell this Yale-boon is completely ignorant of Homer, The Iliad, and The Odyssey. She's being a subversive cunt. Fuck this movie and fuck Melanin of Troy.

Bro that’s impossible. She said it and #metoo dictates we must believe all women. It’s just as impossible as finding previous education acquired in a ‘transcripts’ type system. No one has advanced computers and record keeping to that level. As a Mexican, there’s no way she learned of such trifling works as Iliad and The Oddyssey. The best we can hope is that Grapes of Raff and the original Mexican work, Cantando Bajo la Ilivia helped her grow into a titan of film and knowledge. I feel like she has just based on this historically accurate mega film that will definitely make a ton of money. It just looks that good.

He looks homely and out of shape in the trailers.

Good shape for the average guy his age, maybe great shape-- but not epic Odyssey Hollywood shape.

He's bringing unbelievability to the screen. Every time i see Damon DEI aside I get a little less interested.
