Ben Shapiro stunned critics by calling Christopher Nolan’s new “Odyssey” movie a masterpiece — an 8.5 to 9/10 — despite fierce online backlash over Lupita Nyong’o playing Helen of Troy. While MAGA voices and even Elon Musk fueled debates about Hollywood hypocrisy and casting, Shapiro dismissed race-based outrage, noting no actor — including white stars like Matt Damon — looks authentically Greek. He praised Nolan for reframing the myth as a tale of war beyond beauty, and lauded performances from Damon, Zendaya, Pattinson, and Hathaway. Shapiro’s take? Focus on craft, not controversy — a refreshing contrast to the noise swirling around the film’s identity politics.
