in general terms, is about a warrior named Odysseus and a king of Ithaca, played by Matt Damon, who was this huge, great conqueror during the Trojan War.
But he was away for 10, 17, however many years, fighting in that war, 10 years for that war.
And then he wanted to make his way back home to his sexy wife, Penelope, played by Anne Hathaway and his fairly dumbass, pathetic son.
And so this story is the telling of all of those troubles with borrows of the Iliad and other stories here and there.
Meanwhile, there's been several suitors, including Antinous, who is played by Robert Pattinson.
All these guys are trying to court Penelope... to essentially claim the throne from Odysseus and their son Telemachus Penelope is like she has to finish her grandfather's quill what was what was that the you know something a
thing a thing i'm like a picture i can't think of what the name is but up and down up and down
um and she basically has like when she's done with it she that's when she has to like essentially give up waiting for odysseus to come back and get remarried so she's been taking her sweet ass time with it and as i i would as well
I thought, did you see that one interview clip where Rob and Anne were talking about it? And he was like, my character sticks his head in there.
But yeah, Penelope, she thinks that he's still out there, Telemachus, and their half-blind servant, Eumaeus, still think that Odysseus will return.
Telemachus, who is very much in this like, transitionary state in his life, where going from a young boy to trying to become a young man, but nobody is taking him seriously.
And then, as Christopher Nolan loves to do with his stories, this is not a non-linear story by any means.
