The Odyssey Proves The Hero’s Journey Is Dead — Michael Weiss
Film Courage: In The Odyssey, what is the core relationship?
Michael Weiss, Author/Screenwriter/Professor: I love the movie for many different reasons.
I find with Nolan movies, especially Oppenheimer and Odyssey, I enjoy them when I watch them and then when I go home and think about them and break them down like Oppenheimer (I do in the book), I get this whole new appreciation for how he stitches it together.
The Odyssey’s taken a lot…There’s been a lot of debate online about The Odyssey.
One of the biggest debates is how much Christopher Nolan changed from the epic poem The Odyssey to make it into a film.
My joke and what I’ve been saying with my Beyond the Hero book is if you watch the movie The Odyssey, you’ll see that the hero’s journey is dead.
