Classics professor Emily Wilson has continued her criticism of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, accusing the blockbuster of using “massacres as spectacle” and being “emotionally empty”. When discussing the film’s Trojan Horse design, she wrote: “The physical horror of people being trapped inside as the seawater rises is brilliantly and terrifyingly evoked. But on a narrative level, Nolan’s horse is light as air.” In her conclusion, Wilson wrote: “Nolan’s Odyssey is itself a kind of Trojan horse. These lessons are legible in Homer and Virgil, but are elided by Nolan’s visually stunning, emotionally empty film.”
