Look, I admit it, I haven't seen the movie but when the most recent translator of the Odyssey (her name is Emily Wilson) informs me that the dialogue is inappropriate and that the main character is far removed from what Homer had brought us I'm not going to have any problems ranking it below "On the Waterfront", "The Bridge on the River Kwai", "The Searchers", "Goodfellas", "From Here to Eternity" and a few more.

This is of course unsurprising in that a) we already knew that elite white liberals were full of shit hypocrites and only supported policies that affect other people and b) it fully supports the prior research laid out by Robert Putnam and Ryan Enos who both pretty much stuck a fork in this whole diversity is a strength bromide. Still, though, it's always good to secure more information whether it supports a particular point of view or it doesn't.
