SALVADOR (1986) Grade: B-

Its a good story, little long, preachy, but shot well. It was Oliver Stone behind the camera. Story still moves a good pace. The ending is pretty heartbreaking even though the film had plenty of levity.

I've got a theory about the wisdom saga that I haven't really seen anyone else talking about.

(please keep in mind that I studied biology and not literature)

I've seen everyone talking about what happens to Athena at the end of God Games, wondering how hurt she is or if she died. I know the pop culture image of Zeus, that he is a hot head narcissist who cannot see past his own pride and would absolutely attack his favorite child for winning a game. However, I recently read the Iliad and the Odyssey and the vibe I got was more like a Good Omens style "ineffable plan" type personality. He had a plan for everything even if nobody else totally knew what it was.

He would get mad at the other gods who tried to trick him, like Hera distracting him so Poseidon can help the Greeks in the Iliad, but he was never quite so unreasonable as he is in God Games.

I think he lied to Athena about what the game is. He says, "But if he's worth the risk of going under, why not make it a game" and then set up a game in which Athena risks nothing. He told her to prove that Odysseus was worth her losing everything, but she has nothing to lose if she cannot convince the other gods. The only thing at stake is Odysseus' freedom.

I think he knew that she would be able to convince the other gods easily (and she did) and the real test would come when she reached him. When he started getting mad Athena could either back down, beg for forgiveness and admit defeat or risk everything and continue begging for Odysseus' freedom.

I think the reason the song ends when it does is because that is when she really won Zeus' game. By continuing to beg for Odysseus after being attacked, she proved that she really felt so strongly about this that she was willing to lose everything to help win him his freedom.

I’ve come to expect a lot from Jorge Rivera-Herrans and the rest of the EPIC: The Musical cast, but physically going to Ithaca was something I never expected.

For how unserious the cast was during the lead up to the Ithaca saga during the live stream, Luke and Troy were so into their roles especially during their solo songs and it just makes me want a live adaptation even more

Epic the Musical But It's a Bunch of Theatre Kids in Ithaca

(the past livestreams only stayed up for a few days and I didn’t want us to lose these beautiful portrayals. I’m working on fixing youtube’s captions. Flashing lights warnings for 1:22:58-1:27:03 and 1:44:10-1:44:30)

Apparently, the EPIC cast is planning a cast swap karaoke.
