No, you do, just like literally everyone else. Nolan. Nolan's casting director. Everyone else on the set. Every person who encounters her on the street.
Thats what fascinating about this emperor has no clothes phenomenon.
In the affected part of the population, this psyop has overcome forces as powerful as evolutionary psychology and sexual selection, and compelled them to performatively pretend to find this thing attractive. Thats astonishing. We should be surprised every time we hear it. Its like encountering a part of the population that claims dogs are sexually attractive and acts indignant when you protest.
Its not that it even matters who they cast in the latest bullshit movie. Its this - if the propaganda forces can make people pretend and deny even such obvious things, is there any limit to what they can make people pretend to believe? This is "the sky isnt blue" territory.

Man
My The Odyessy experience is completely destroyed because I saw a frame from a movie that showed a chick I don't like!
Fuuuuuuuuuck
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Guess I'll just go watch Citizen Vigilante instead and convince myself that Uwe Boll doesn't make trash.
Uwe Boll for Best Picture!!!

It's kind of weird how defensive you seem to be about the movie. Like people criticizing it is somehow a personal attack on you.

From a bunch of people who have not and apparently will not ever see the movie? Yeah let me get on that right away lol
Real talk: The real trick Nolan pull on everyone is that by putting a black chick in as Helen for a couple minutes, you can't even see the actual changes to the story he made that are much more interesting to debate.
But no. Let's analyze the Ooga Booga helen for another ten pages, yo.
Carry on lol

That was a choice he made, and put in the movie.
Someone made a good analogy. "ohh, that a10 warthog was only in the lord of the rings for 5 minutes, you can't even see the actual changes to the story he made that are much more interesting to debate."
So, are you going to defend the the sisters being twins? Helen's scar?
we don't need an exhaustive laundry list of stupid changes. when we can just focus on the obvious. the one that really tells on creative discission making mindset.

Here's az's thoughts. its long. not brief quick summary. 5/10
paraphrased:
poorly edited. horrible pacing/framing. the time skipping hurt the movie. lots of time spent on unimportant elements, while short time giving to important ones.
poor casting. holland is awful. damon exists. but is no Odysseus. Hathaway and pattinson overact a bit. obvious race swapping. teenage sinon is more masculine then adult Sinon. leguizamo is the best performance.
horrible costuming.
constantly taken out of it by the modern speech.
poor marketing with the helen being in it for 2 minutes, Clytemnestra for like 3. Ellen page for like 3 herself.. helen and Clytemnestra being twins was really stupid. Helen is a daughter of Zeus.
"verisimilitude"
---
the pacing and story telling seems obvious. the idea was to do the "complicated man" revision. downplay heroics, and focus on regrets, and mistakes.

Some of these "thoughts" are retarded. Time skipping is a core feature of The Odyssey, and its handling was one of the movie's strengths.
"Teenage" Sinon masculine? He's a kid that stands around for a few seconds while other people talk. Clytemnestra isn't in the movie for 3 minutes, and certainly not more than Helen. It's more like 10 seconds during a brief, narrated flashback. Did this person even watch the movie? And in the Leda (as opposed to the Nemesis) version of the myth, she conceives Helen and Clytemnestra during the same night and bears them together. I guess we'll need to consult a biologist to confirm whether being simultaneously impregnated by an Olympian waterfowl and a human could result in the hatching of identical twins.

I imagine he wanted to thumb his nose at white western mythology and at the same time take a good long whiff of his own farts.

What's wrong with Helen's scar? I can't keep track of everyone's fake outrage.
I feel bad for those who can't just go to a good movie without just seething from MAGGA* brainrot.
