In an interview with CGTN, Christopher Nolan and Matt Damon sit down to talk about bringing Homer's 3,000-year-old epic to the big screen, and why it still matters. Homecoming is the greatest story in both Eastern and Western cultures. Each generation reinterprets it, but Nolan's stamp is unmistakable. He didn't use an orchestra for the score. Instead, he turned to ancient instruments, building a Bronze Age soundscape that matches the film's raw, tactile visuals that were shot entirely on IMAX. For Nolan, the tale is the foundational myth of the West. For Damon, it's the man himself, Odysseus, that matters, and that's why he keeps coming back to the scenes with Anne Hathaway. Join us as we unpack the film with its director and star, and explore what makes The Odyssey endure over millennia. #TheOdyssey #ChristopherNolan #MattDamon #IMAX #Odysseus #GreekMythology #Film #CGTN #ThePoint #LiuXin
