the more i think about the implications of this movie and learn about how it was made the more i dislike it so i'm reviewing my previous positive rating

some of the stuff that undid my (overall) good opinions of this movie:
• https://jacobin.com/2026/07/nolan-odyssey-western-sahara-morocco-colonialism ("Filmed in Western Sahara, The Odyssey Endorses Colonialism", by Eoghan Gilmartin)
• https://boxd.it/fuvTWB (a very good review by I_L on letterboxd)
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVtEaMNT8Tc (Christopher Nolan’s Liberalism Is More Conservative Than You Think by Jessie Gender After Dark)(and other videos Jessie made on this movie)

"the idea of innocence faces two ways. by refusing to enter a conspiracy, one remains innocent of that conspiracy. but to remain innocent may also be to remain ignorant. the issue is not between innocence and knowledge (or between the natural and the cultural) but between a total approach to art which attempts to relate it to every aspect of experience and the esoteric approach of a few specialized experts who are the clerks of the nostalgia of a ruling class in decline. [...] the real question is: to whom does the meaning of the art of the past properly belong? to those who can apply it to their own lives, or to a cultural hierarchy of relic specialists?"
