I thought I understood Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, then I watched it a second time

In a sense, The Odyssey is an exception to that rule. Like the Dark Knight trilogy, Nolan’s adaptation of the ancient Greek epic is relatively straightforward. The plot unfurls naturally and ends neatly without any mind-blowing twists or turns.

And yet, there’s still one very good reason to watch The Odyssey a second time, and it has everything to do with the character who gives this story its name.
