The blockbuster filmmaker cited one woman's specific translation months ago as a source of inspiration for his adaptation of "The Odyssey," but those remarks have completely backfired now that the author has seen Nolan's film. "I think it's the Emily Wilson translation that begins, 'Tell me about a complicated man,'" Nolan recalled. In a lengthy reaction titled "An Uncomplicated Man," Wilson eloquently pummeled the film for being noisy, emotionless, and poorly written. Wilson then directly addressed Nolan's reference to her translation, before bluntly stating, "I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script." "The Odyssey" released to a whopping $123 million domestic opening, earning over $650 million worldwide to date.
