What the film changes
Structure, absent scenes, merged characters, temporality and point of view: every difference will have to be linked to a narrative effect, not to a simple fidelity score.
From Troy to Ithaca After the film
Before the film is released, this page fixes the method: separate Homer, the Trojan cycle, cinematic choices and what cannot yet be asserted.
Structure, absent scenes, merged characters, temporality and point of view: every difference will have to be linked to a narrative effect, not to a simple fidelity score.
Everything that comes from Troy, The Iliad or traditions around Homer will be separated from The Odyssey itself to avoid mixing sources.
Sea, monsters, scale, silence, sound and rhythm: the adaptation will be judged by what it makes visible, not only by what it preserves.
Reading depth
After the release, this page should become the place where myth and film are compared: not whether Nolan was faithful in a narrow checklist sense, but what he chose to make visible, compress, omit or transform.
