Emily Wilson, the acclaimed translator of Homer’s “The Odyssey,” is not impressed with Christopher Nolan’s big-budget adaptation—calling it emotionally hollow, politically empty, and ethically confused, with characters that lack depth and motivations that make no sense. She even slammed the film’s writing and food, admitting she’d be ashamed to have written any part of it. Yet, she’s not all negative: she hopes the movie will reignite public interest in the original epic, boosting sales of her own translation and possibly saving literature and history programs. Meanwhile, audiences are loving it—the film earned an “A” CinemaScore and is a major box office hit, sparking a heated debate between critics and fans over what makes a good adaptation.
