Unlike Germany, Poland did not throw Ukraine under the bus with Nord Stream II and a Russia-first policy. Germany finally paying back its debt to Ukraine is a welcome change. But no amount of shouting will erase the fact that it was also Berlin that left Ukraine exposed to Russia #Ukraine #Germany #NordStreamII #DE #PL #UA #RU

Αν ήθελα να δώσω έναν τίτλο στην #Οδύσσεια του Νόλαν θα ήταν "Η Άλωση της Ιθάκης"... Φανταστείτε έναν αρχαίο, εύφορο και ιερό κήπο. Για χιλιάδες χρόνια, οι άνθρωποι τον φρόντιζαν, έπιναν από το καθαρό νερό των πηγών του και έτρεφαν το πνεύμα τους με τους καρπούς του. Αυτός ο κήπος είναι η Οδύσσεια του Ομήρου. Ένας τόπος γεμάτος μέτρο, βαθιά φιλοσοφία, νόστο και την αυθεντική ψυχή του ελληνικού πολιτισμού. Ξαφνικά, στα σύνορα του κήπου εμφανίζεται ένας ξένος, πανίσχυρος κατακτητής. Έρχεται από μια μακρινή, λαμπερή αλλά πνευματικά στείρα αυτοκρατορία: το Χόλιγουντ. Αρχηγός του είναι ένας ικανός αλλά αλαζόνας στρατηγός, ο Κρίστοφερ Νόλαν. Ο ξένος αυτός πολιτισμός δεν ενδιαφέρεται να καταλάβει τη σοφία του κήπου. Θέλει απλώς να τον καταστήσει αποικία του και να τον φέρει στα δικά του, σύγχρονα μέτρα.Ο στρατηγός μπαίνει μέσα και αρχίζει το "έργο" του, παραμορφώνοντας τις πιο εμβληματικές μορφές του τόπου για να εξυπηρετήσει τη δική του ατζέντα. Παίρνει τη θεά Αθηνά, το σύμβολο της θεϊκής σοφίας, της στρατηγικής και του μέτρου, και τη μετατρέπει σε αερικό πίσω από μια ποπ φιγούρα της δυτικής κουλτούρας. Παίρνει την Ωραία Ελένη, την απόλυτη, μυθική προσωποποίηση της ομορφιάς που κίνησε χίλια καράβια, και την αποκόπτει εντελώς από τις ιστορικές και πολιτισμικές της ρίζες. Και σαν να μην έφτανε αυτό, εισάγει στον μύθο τον ρόλο του Σίμωνα, αυτού του μικροσκοπικού νανοπλάσματος που μοιάζει εντελώς ξένο με το ομηρικό σύμπαν, τοποθετημένο εκεί μόνο για να προκαλέσει εντύπωση και να γεμίσει τα πλάνα... Αυτός ο ξένος πολιτισμός αφαιρεί την ψυχή και την ταυτότητα του μύθου, κρατώντας μόνο τα ονόματα ως ένα γυαλιστερό περιτύλιγμα για να εντυπωσιάσει τις μάζες. Η ταινία του Νόλαν παρουσιάζεται σήμερα στο κοινό σαν ένα μεγαλοπρεπές "δώρο", μια εντυπωσιακή, τεχνολογικά άρτια υπερπαραγωγή σε οθόνες IMAX που υπόσχεται να τιμήσει το αρχαίο έπος. Όμως, όπως ακριβώς οι Τρώες άνοιξαν τις πύλες τους για να δεχτούν το ξύλινο άλογο, έτσι και οι θεατές υποδέχονται την ταινία με ενθουσιασμό. Στην πραγματικότητα, η "Οδύσσεια" του Νόλαν είναι ένας σύγχρονος Δούρειος Ίππος: μια κατασκευή που κρύβει μέσα της την ολική παραμόρφωση και την άλωση του ελληνικού πολιτισμού. Όταν τα φώτα της δημοσιότητας σβήσουν, το μόνο που απομένει είναι η λεηλασία της αυθεντικής ομηρικής ταυτότητας, αντικατεστημένης από τη δυτική, εμπορική κουλτούρα... -------------------------- If I had to give a title to Christopher Nolan’s #Odyssey, it would be "The Sacking of Ithaca"... Imagine an ancient, fertile, and sacred garden. For thousands of years, people tended to it, drank from its pure springs, and nourished their minds with its fruits. This garden is Homer’s Odyssey, a place defined by balance, deep philosophy, the bittersweet ache of nostos (the longing for home), and the authentic soul of Greek culture. Suddenly, a powerful foreign conqueror appears at the gates of this garden. He arrives from a distant, glittering, yet spiritually hollow empire: Hollywood. At the helm is a highly skilled yet arrogant general, Christopher Nolan. This foreign civilization has no interest in understanding the wisdom of the garden. They simply want to colonize it and reshape it according to their own modern standards. The general marches in and begins his "work," distorting the land's most iconic figures to serve his own agenda. He takes Athena, the very symbol of divine wisdom, strategy, and restraint, and turns her into an ethereal being behind a pop-culture figure of Western media. He takes Helen of Troy, the ultimate, mythical personification of a beauty that launched a thousand ships, and completely detaches her from her historical and cultural roots. And as if that were not enough, he forces the character of Simon into the myth, that tiny nano-creature who feels completely alien to the Homeric universe, placed there merely to shock the audience and fill the frame. This foreign civilization strips away the soul and identity of the myth, keeping nothing but the names as a glossy wrapping paper to impress the masses. Today, Nolan’s film presents itself to the audience as a grand "gift", a visually spectacular, technologically flawless blockbuster in IMAX theaters that promises to honor the ancient epic. Yet, just as the Trojans threw open their gates to welcome the wooden horse, audiences today welcome this film with excitement. In reality, Nolan’s Odyssey is a modern-day Trojan Horse: a construct that hides within it the total distortion and conquest of Greek culture. Once the spotlight fades, all that remains is the pillage of the authentic Homeric identity, replaced by a commercialized Western culture! #Οδύσσεια #Νόλαν #ΕλληνικόςΠολιτισμός
