The View’s Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah have slammed the conservative backlash around Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.The star-studded blockbuster has been subject to attacks from right wingers over its diverse cast, which includes Black actresses Zendaya and Lupita Nyong’o, and transgender actor Elliot Page.On Tuesday, Goldberg defended Page’s part in the film while reacting to a clip of conservative commentator Ben Shapiro condemning Page.’A lot of conservatives who see this are going to feel the same way. That’s OK. But I don’t understand … why go see the movie?’ she said.’If you don’t wanna see it, then don’t go see it,’ she continued.’Why do you care who’s cast in it? I don’t understand this idea that if we hate it, everybody must hate it. Whoopi Goldberg lead the charge in defending The Odyssey against conservative backlash on The View this week’You don’t like Elliot Page? Don’t go see the damn movie. Don’t do it. We will be okay if you don’t go see it.’The EGOT winner then stressed that ‘movies are not real’ before co-host Farah weighed in.’It is a masterpiece. It is a phenomenal film,’ gushed Farah, who is conservative and a former Trump staffer.’There’s actually a real conservative message … it’s about devotion to family, it’s about faith, it’s about upholding institutions, it’s about how war is dangerous and has repercussions for all of us,’ she continued.’The fact that conservatives can’t take the win and just be like, “Oh no, this is a really excellent film with a good message for families,” I’ll never understand that.’Joy Behar chimed in and said, ‘but they’re stuck on “woke”,’ to which Farah replied, ‘But there’s nothing woke in this film.’Sara Haines also weighed in on the ‘ignorance’ around the conservative backlash to the film.’There’s a unique ignorance to someone who comments on something they’ve never seen,’ she said.’ ‘You don’t like Elliot Page? Don’t go see the damn movie,’ said Goldberg, who was reacting to Ben Shapiro’s comments about the transgender actor Even conservative co-host Alyssa Farah defended the movie, hailing it as a ‘masterpiece’ and arguing that it has a conservative message’You’re taught from a young age, do your research, learn, and then you can join the conversation. But it’s like not voting and then complaining about what you get,’ she continued.’You cannot not see the film and complain about how awful it is, when you haven’t seen the film. Because this film, and I echo Alyssa, is a masterpiece.’Elon Musk has been one of the most prominent conservative figures to lead the charge against The Odyssey, with the tech billionaire taking particular issue with Nyong’o and Page’s roles.On Tuesday, Musk vowed to create his own version of the film using AI.’Before this year ends, Grok Imagine will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer,’ he posted on X.It’s unclear if Musk’s ‘historically accurate’ version of The Odyssey will feature mythological elements like Greek gods and a cyclops, which appear in Homer’s original text and Nolan’s film. Elon Musk has been one of the most prominent conservative figures to lead the charge against The Odyssey, with the tech billionaire taking particular issue with Nyong’o and Page’s roles The Odyssey is already the most critically-acclaimed movie of the yearMusk also said that he’d be ‘down’ to give Mel Gibson $100 million to make a ‘painstakingly historically accurate’ version of the film ‘with all dialogue taken straight from the original poem and delivered in Homeric Greek’.Other conservative bigwigs to lash out at the film include Megyn Kelly and Matt Walsh.However, despite the initial backlash, The Odyssey achieved a near-perfect score on review-aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes shortly after its release.The audience score is even higher than critics, with 97% of viewers giving the film a positive review.The reviews for The Odyssey are almost universal in their soaring praise and five star ratings, with some praising it as one of the best films of the decade.The film sailed straight to the top of the North American box office over the weekend, bringing home $124.5 million in its opening weekend.It captured another $139 million in overseas sales for a total of $263.5 million, surpassing its $250 million budget.
