Achilles Heel


“Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey is shaping up to be the biggest movie of the year, and right-wing voices are furious at it. “Chris Nolan desecrated the Odyssey,” wrote Elon Musk on X. Musk, alongside hundreds of right-wing culture warriors algorithmically boosted on his platform, have spent the past few weeks fuming over the news that Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong’o is playing Helen of Troy, and that transgender actor Elliot Page might be playing Achilles.” LGBTQ Nation. 

Lupita Nyong’o is a very pretty lady and could pull off playing Helen but Page playing Achilles would be a huge mistake! That being said would it be okay for Meryl Streep to play Michelle Obama? I wish someone would wake me when Hollywood stops making woke movies but I don’t believe that is going to happen in my life time! Too bad because I’m a huge movie fan and the whole politically correct thing is Hollywood’s Achilles Heel!
