I mean, if we're talking about an "Odyssey" vibe, shouldn't "The Day After Tomorrow" and "The Omega Man" be in there too?
honestly, what creeps me out here is just the fact that anyone even bothered making a "list" that's basically absurd to begin with.
the whole point of a movie isn't to give you a history lesson—it's just straight-up entertainment.
if this were a list of documentaries, I'd get the backlash, but as it stands... hmm
I truly wonder what those people—the ones who don't mind historical distortions as long as they're entertained—would say if some massive American historical epic casually depicted, say, Americans as just Catholic Mexicans whom Vatican propaganda somehow rebranded into a nation. As long as the movie is fun, right?
Or when the standards slip even further: a huge Iranian spectacle that "funly" portrays how global Jewry declared war on Germany in 1933, only to invent some pious version of the Holocaust to cash in on. All you need are expensive special effects and hot actresses... mmm, curves...
