For the past few days, now that reviews are coming in, you’ve heard praise: It’s an epic spectacle, as moving as it is innovative, as intelligent as it is grand. Both are true. The movie is vast, ambitious, clever, and affecting. It is also highly subversive, a kind of study in using Homeric materials to serve radically different end
