American billionaire Elon Musk criticized Christopher Nolan's new historical film "The Odyssey" starring Matt Damon, saying the director took too many artistic liberties and distorted the classic plot of Homer's ancient Greek epic. According to the businessman, filmmakers should have been more faithful to the original source instead of rewriting history for spectacular scenes, reports Variety, as cited by infohub.kz.
On social media, the billionaire stated he is ready to finance the creation of a new, historically accurate adaptation of the poem that will fully correspond to Homer's original text. He emphasized that modern audiences deserve to see the true story of Odysseus without Hollywood clichés and script simplifications.
Musk's post sparked heated discussions among users. Some movie fans supported the idea of a more faithful adaptation, while others noted that Nolan's film had already become a box-office hit.
