Ben Shapiro gave Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey a score of 8.5 to 9 out of 10 in a review marked “includes paid promotion” — urging conservative audiences to see a film that rewrites Homer’s masculine homecoming triumph into a modernist guilt narrative, erases the Greek gods, and ends with Odysseus voluntarily exiling himself for winning. The backlash from the right has been significant, with critics pointing out that conservative media figures taking paid promotions to recommend Hollywood films to their audiences undermines the very cultural pushback they claim to represent. The Odyssey’s opening weekend and the Shapiro controversy reveal a fundamental division in how the right responds to Hollywood’s ongoing cultural reframing of Western civilization’s foundational texts.
