Now it's time to fire that grifter who tried to steal football from the fans.
Films need to be read, not just watched. But to read a film, one must first learn how to read a book. #Nolan's subtext is clear. Yet most miss it. Perhaps too much Tik Tok and not enough books.
#TheOddysey isn't historical fantasy and our Age Of Bronze is indeed collapsing.
1/3 #oddysey
Just saw Nolan's ode to the fall of the liberal west, where moral compass has broken and chaos ensues. From accent to cast to the strange use of the term "dad", Nolan wasn't subtle in his lament. Yet, the clearest metaphor remains the evocation of this image:
2/3
...as a juxtaposition to this Hollywood image in Planet Of The Apes, where the collapse of civilisation is symbolised by a half-buried Statue of Liberty.
In Nolan's Oddysey, the gift of the wooden horse is thus repurposed to be a shameful subterfuge, just as the gift of...
People whinging about logic and inaccuracies vis-a-vis a film adaptation of an epic tale written by an 800 BC poet about a ficticious character who encountered gods, sirens and cyclops on his travels after a mythical war that took place in a Bronze Age Anatolia.
I despair.
I'm glad u like it here & am sorry to see u go. M'sia is a good place.
BUT
1. To say #NS has no intention of subverting the host country's sovereignty go against many of its supporters' explicit & implicit public statements, including the founder's.

I've been a member at Network School for nearly 2 months, and I would like to do my best to refute the claim that NS is a 'threat to Malaysian sovereignty'.
Most of it comes from people who haven't read the book. It's free, so if you haven't, start here: thenetworkstate.com/the-netw… 🧵
4. To publicly threaten the country with withdrawal of funds is idiotic. More so when the sum is minuscule. It's insulting & reeks of arrogance. Hell, if @balajis can abandon ship & pivot 2 Kzstan so quickly, it only means the USD25M "investment" was a lie 2 begin with.

5. I'm sorry 2 see u go as we r hospitable by nature. But I don't hold much hope 4 #NS if it continues to be led like this, whether located here or not. Msians hv had 2 dealt w grifters & dishonest cowboys all our lives. Your hero reeked of one.
Good luck.
Come visit soon.
Homer's Bronze Age world was filled with ppl of the Mediterranean, N. Africa, Near East etc. 12 diff ppls fought alongside Troy, located in Anatolia, Turkey.
Nolan did not film recorded history. Other than Helen, his casting is not an inaccurate representation of Homer's world.
One does good and try to be as decent a human being as possible because one believes that's the right way to live, not because one would then live forever or be otherwise rewarded.
That's the ultimate definition of "faith".
Believe, my friend. Hugs.

You know what?
Msia is imperfect. But she sanctioned apartheid South Africa decades b4 it was fashionable. She also supported Palestinians decades b4 the current global backlash vs Israel.
I cld show u more of our spine but there's no space.
Trust me, #ns is small potatoes.
Patronising aren't u?
Dude. Just cos you don't hv a spine doesn't mean others don't. I can name u a hundred things this country sadly falls to race politics for. But I can also name a hundred things 4 which we proudly unite. Yes, it's a complex place.
Perhaps 2 complex for u.
