Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has made some changes to the original story, but the film is still authentic and larger than life. The omission of the olive tree bedroom scene is one change that is being noted, and Anne Hathaway's comments on the choice are shedding light on Penelope's character.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has been making waves in the film industry, and one change in particular is being noted - the omission of the olive tree bedroom scene from the original story.
In an interview with ScreenRant's Liam Crowley, Anne Hathaway, who plays Penelope, discussed the choice to remove the scene, stating that it was a decision made to maintain the momentum of the film and not stray from the main story. Hathaway also highlighted Penelope's smart and calculating side, suggesting that the moment could have been a clever 'prank' on Odysseus.
The original story features Odysseus creating a bed frame from a giant olive tree, which acts as a symbol for the strength and resilience of their marriage. In the film, however, Odysseus remains romantically faithful to Penelope, and given her insight and intelligence, she may have understood this. Although The Odyssey is facing some critiques and backlash, Nolan is standing by his choices.
Elon Musk tweeted that Chris Nolan 'desecrated the Odyssey' so that he would be eligible for an Academy Award, and political commentator Matt Walsh complained about casting choices, calling Nolan 'technically talented but a coward.
' The Odyssey is already breaking records, with a 96% critics' score and a 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film features a star-studded ensemble, including Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, John Leguizamo, and Elliot Page. Hathaway's comments and the deliberate choice to remove the olive tree bedroom scene could be indicative of Penelope's unwavering trust and hope in her husband even after the 20 years he has been gone.
In the film, Hathaway's choices as Penelope indicate a Stoic, quiet type of strength. Although she doesn't test him on-screen, it doesn't mean she doesn't test him at all; audiences just don't witness it happen. This choice is also interesting because of what Nolan prioritizes - allowing the film to breathe and launch into its final moments.
ScreenRant's Alex Harrison described these final moments as 'The Odyssey's lingering final note suggests he's getting more optimistic about humanity's ability to endure our own worst impulses.
