First of all, I did see this on the largest screen around here the day before it was released, and yes- it was gorgeous. Though I had no idea of the anguish Nolan endured to make it. I'm still hoping to make my way to the IMAX in Los Angeles before it leaves.
But thank you for this, made me cry as I found myself naming my own Ithaca. More than that, it gave me permission to move on... to love life as it is- to give each new home, job, or relationship the chance to simply be what it is, instead of what I hope it can be or believe it should be. To stop asking finite things to carry infinite weight. Just to accept, enjoy, and embrace the gift of today.
Still contemplating a comment but thoroughly enjoyed the entire take and deeper analysis of the film’s story. The nostalgia aspect is really hitting “ home” pun intended ❤️
We saw it and really enjoyed it. Thank you for this post! Sometimes stories resonate with us and we don’t really know why. I find myself drawn to stories where returning home is a central theme. Thanks for helping me see the “why” more clearly!
I hope to see it another time on IMAX for cinematic enjoyment. But also want to watch again with this article in mind. This is a very lovely lense to watch the film through, thank you!

Great post. I’m sharing with my homeschool kids who have read/will be reading The Odyssey!
Thank you! That was a joke up top BTW. ;)
