Sadly, that AI is part of the Woketopia. Not one blonde? Not even from Scandinavia. In fact, it looks like the same woman over and over again, and not one to launch 1000 ships, or even a dinghy. Of every ethnic group I'm actually familiar with, I've met many real live women who blow the AI "ideal" away. And of course, no Israeli woman listed. Is that because there are no beautiful Jewish women or because, according to AI, Jewish women don't exist?
They should at least be white. Imagine if the great classic “Dr Zhivago” had cast a black guy as Zhivago. It would have ruined the movie. Omar Sharif did not look Russian but was at least white, a great actor with other great actors in a great story. It would not surprise me at all if Hollyweird decided to do a remake of the movie with a black lead just to have an opportunity to once again hysterically scream about white racism.
I love the hypocrisy the left imposes by screaming at us to make everything about race, expect in tv/movies, where we are supposed to suspend disbelief that the queen of any European country (Bridgerton) is black. Or pick a character. Black Hamlet? God help us!
Let's remake Roots with a white Kunte Kinte. It makes as much sense. 🙄
Replacing Helen of Troy with a black African woman is just another example of the hate whitey, Woke white left slapping white people in the face. They are evil and insane.
I worked (CNC machinery) for decades with many Assyrians from Iraq in Chicago. They looked white, considered themselves white and were classified as white. Obama and the progressive white left wanted to change this to reduce the size of the white race to make it easier to grind white people into the dirt.
It was to be “white people” aka “them people” vs the rest of humanity aka “people of color” known for their decency, kindness and goodness, quite unlike “them people.” That change was never made but they have succeeded in making this a society where white people are deeply discriminated against and are the only group never classified as a “protected group” since we’re supposedly the group that’s a danger to all others. This is despicable. In what sense is it still a country? Imagine being a white child growing up in such a hideously evil society.
“The Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) communities are celebrating the recent passage of the MENA Bill, which mandates that every state agency, board, department, or commission that collects demographic data regarding ancestry or ethnic origin must separate Middle Eastern or North African populations from the White demographic. This bill also requires the collection of separate data on each major Middle Eastern or North African group.”
“This community has long been deprived of the advantages that distinct minority groups such as Black/African American and Hispanic communities enjoy in our society, including various incentives related to jobs, employment, and financial stability. But how did this distinct ethnic group come to be classified as white? It is a fascinating story.”
How did the MENA community become classified as “White.”
An interesting article. Before I worked at my last company which was very big and had mostly legal immigrants from all over the world, I had worked in a company with a lot of Armenians. I always assumed they were white and there was never any reason to assume they weren’t. This was the early nineties though before the left traded class for race and everything became about race with white being evil and “of color” especially black, became good. The left is evil. They’ve ruined this country.
I have had an unwoke 1960s adventure love story script in circulation for at least 4 years. I am pretty sure it could be made for less than a million bucks. I could learn to speak with a Norwegian accent, if that would help.
Is it that some people can no lnger recognize what is woke?
The Free Press today:
‘Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is packing in cinemas—and it’s no surprise, says Spencer Klavan. He’s already seen the movie twice, and in his review today, he argues that its best parts are those in which Nolan “simply tells the story of Homer’s original poem.” Critics were convinced it would be woke—that Nolan would infuse Odysseus’s journey with present-day obsessions about race and sex. He didn’t, says Spencer. Rather, the most striking thing about the movie is its faithful portrayal of the poem’s moral clarity. “Christopher Nolan was extremely smart—not to mention brave—to take Homer seriously.”’
As much as I respect was the origin story of the Free Press in those who are in charge and obviously the success that is produced for them, I had to cancel my subscription. I was an early adapter, but it became the same in the wasteland that we call mainstream media,exposing the same leftist talking points.
Bari it was marginally better, but when she took her leave, and there were the other editors taking her place, it became unreadable and then she came back and it got a bit better but it wasn’t worth it.
I’m very happy for her. I hope she is successful in her righting the CBS ship but again and still, they would not carry Trump speech and this is the president who is elected, giving information for the public on public airways
Another issue that I have with this whole system
Hollywood has put in guard rails now so directors have to work within those parameters including all these DEI and the quotas is so I’m happy if people are able to enjoy a classical story but I doubt I’ll watch it
I was watching CBS and they did carry his speech although they preloaded it with a bunch of comment stating Trump had “lied” about election results before. Then when Trump got to the part where he said NBC and ABC wouldn’t carry the speech and should lose FCC licenses, CBS cut away. Why? Made no sense. They don’t want to seem “on his side”? Schizophrenic. Take a stance. You deliver news or you are just political hacks.
BBBBBBBSSSSSS. Go to Sasha Stones Substack, Free Thinking Through The Fourth Turning, and read her review of The Odyssey. She paints a very different picture…
Understand that Brendan Fraser, a marvelously diverse actor, will be playing Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in the upcoming Ken Burns docudrama, "I Have a Dream."
I love how The Free Press (leftist media pretending to be "unbiased) said this film "isn't woke at all." In fact, they had the nerve to say this: "Critics were convinced it would be woke—that Nolan would infuse Odysseus’s journey with present-day obsessions about race and sex. He didn’t, says Spencer. Rather, the most striking thing about the movie is its faithful portrayal of the poem’s moral clarity." Anytime the left says "moral clarity," you can be sure they mean something has bowed and paid homage to the party line.
I haven't seen the film, but I've noticed the left sneaking their agenda into everything (read a novel lately?), subtly and not-so-subtly. I'd be shocked if there wasn't another steady dose of woke in a big-budget film. They just don't get that people are fed up, so they keep pushing this crap on us trying to make it mainstream. Sorry, but you can't fool mother nature... or all of the people all of the time.
Have a question. Are you a paid psyop deliberately trying to lead your readers astray? We have real problems ya know. I really liked you Sasha. If you are paid i can’t help. If you have an open mind I will tell you what the Trump phenomena is.
Gonna be honest, it’s not good. If some of you are holding on because to do so would be to admit your instincts and judgement were in error dont. You read the situation correctly. But like what DT said the night of his election in 2016 “Complicated Biz folks.”
Hillary also had a notable quote (maybe) “I knew they would never let me win.”
When you have no message about how to improve our country, have been riding your husband's coattails your entire life, and are as dishonest as the day as long, America will never let you win.
I was always a third party person but it’s never going to happen. Trump swooped in and took over the Republican Party. His enemies are my enemies. I didn’t vote for him in 2016, I went Libertarian, but I was very amused he won and found him hilarious. Then I saw how they all of them tried to screw him at every turn and it made me root for him. Yeah he’s gone off the rails with the Iran involvement abut I can understand how much responsibility someone holds at that level and the fear of Iran getting a nuclear bomb, and the weight of that decision. I’d like healthcare in this country solved too it’s become a real embarrassment at the least of it. But I’m not willing to go socialist and then communist to rectify that. The Left still scares me far more than Trump’s administration. I feel a kinship w Sasha in that regard.
She’s been crystal clear the turning point came for her in the summer of 2020 when the Left’s messaging changed from COVID is the end of the world - you must stay home and let your relatives die alone - to George Floyd was murdered so -
everyone get out in the streets on top of each other to riot and call it a protest. Surely anyone who hadn’t already figured out the Left were frauds would know it at that point. Have you questioned any of that? Are you capable of questioning anything you are fed?
lol oh I have figured it out. I also know DT is every bit the fraud the left is. Truth is none of them work for us. DT appeared that way in term 1 but he was just on a short leash. Then the election theft gave me some hope he was a good guy. Newsflash, he’s not.
They all have the same paymasters. It a big club and you and me ain’t a part of it. At some point you guys have to start running out of excuses for DT. You pretty much have to be into the whole Q Anon thing to still believe in that dude. Trust the plan and tick tock because one day soon the people who organized those GF riots will be held to account (haha any day now). There were pallets of bricks left out there, am quite certain someone was behind it.
Look if all of a sudden DT does a complete 180 and his memecoins and front running the stock market are all just a psyop that would be fine. I will kiss the ground and apologize to you and others for ever doubting him. In fact, his behavior right now totally disgusts me. I will apologize for this as well.
But that day is NOT coming. And FYI i am NOT some hard liner whos crying because DT broke a promise or two. I defended him all the way up until the Minnesota BS. In fact, i still believe those protestors pretty much had it coming. But it has NOT been one or two things with Trump now has it. It’s been a long list of shit up to and including his promise to spend $ money here and keep us outta wars.
You know I spent 20 years defending this Neocon BS. I’m done. When you hear someone from the left who says “We want affordable healthcare” I have to ask the question; why NOT? All this $ money we pile into meddling overseas should be room for us to take care of our own……Do you get it yet?
Look at this boys and girls. Saw this about fell out. Can’t not believe it made the main stream Newsmax I guess. For the record I have no dog in this hunt. Am just looking for the truth.
That being said I have seen enough coordinated media campaigns to send my hackles up. Talking about all the Epstein binder people saying they saw unadulterated crystal clear footage of TR taking the shot.
It’s a muddy the water tactic I used to this was endemic to the far left. Nah, it’s what the master class does to corral us Plebes….Listen 🤷♂️
Matt Walsh on the Daily Wire disliked the movie and sited a number of reasons why. I would never go to the movie, The Odyssey is an epic story and a crappy woke movie would just ruin it for me.
A Director and a movie cannot receive any Academy Award recognition without playing the Trans Identity Game.
....what Jim said...correct! Got to check all the libtard boxes to win any Tinsel Town Trinket Badges
In this era, correct.
If it was truly a great and worthy movie it would serve to shame the academy.
I won’t be watching the movie 🎥, thanks for the summary
Odyssey is great in original but there is nothing that Hollywood can't pervert.

Shouldn’t it be Greek people in this movie?

FYI - you can enroll for free to go through the Odyssey at Hillsdale College with professor Benedict Whalen. They offer great free wonderful courses.
Conformity is mandatory.
Citizens are expected to think, speak, and behave exactly as the Party dictates.
Standing out or expressing doubt is dangerous.

Change the identity of your couple.
Oh. You've read it then. Well, if I did that, it wouldn't be unwoke.

Would you call her for me? We're not speaking since the incident in Tangier.

TFP keeps telling us they are "unbiased." Yeah, right. They will continue to pretend that the woke agenda is "moral clarity" and unwoke.

Exactly. MSNOW cut away when he started getting to the actual facts and criticisms. Enemy of the people!
Yes, you’re right. I didn’t watch CBS. I’m understood they did show but then cut away.
I actually listened to it on the radio. I didn’t watch it.
I pray to God they don’t cut off a.m. radio in vehicles
AM - agree! That’s where I find Glen, Jesse, and local Jim.
I watched on Real America’s Voice app on my phone.
I was also early adopter and canceled my paid a couple years ago when it just seemed to slide off a cliff
Same here. So disappointing!
