Nolan's Odyssey and The Feminist Reactionary Personality
Chris Nolan’s Odyssey is a pedantic movie undeserving of a serious intellectual, ideological or aesthetic review. But most of its right wing critics who try to claim it is simply a “woke” film are wrong and misguided. It’s woke in the same way mainstream conservatism in America and England became woke under Bush and the Tories. This doesn’t make it any better than if it were the far leftist agitprop its critics imagine it to be. It fails primarily as art for deficiencies of plot, character, and aesthetics, but in this clumsiness is included the great error of all didactic art, that it’s a forced homily-allegory for its own time. It speaks to Nolan’s narrowness as tedious commentary of the type that might be at home now in the social spheres that supported George Bush II and Karl Rove, or at least Christopher Hitchens. As the movie is unworthy of detailed reflection itself, I’m writing this to address various other tangents that interest me and also the controversy it generated.
