Ideas Nolan's Odyssey seemed to be presenting me with:
Guilt makes you want to forget.
War is ugly.
Violence breaks down social bonds.
Check, check, check. All true. Now what? Are we going to go into the experience of that guilt? No? Ok, so we're going to see the ugliness of war? No? We're going to see how the violence Odysseus instigated leads to social collapse? No?
What specific thing is there to grab onto? What's being put under a microscope (or being blown up for the big screen) here?
