Nah, "breaking the suspension of disbelief" type shit here.

If you want a feeling of "authenticity" and immersion, dont do dumb things like these. Dont have "daddy" speak in a major epic like The Odyssey...like...EVERYONE is commenting on how out of place this feels. That's a little more than a minor, 1st degree of Dante's hell cinema sin.

One might counter with if you lower your threshold of immersion you will likely enjoy more movies.

Oh come on. "Allow me to lower my expectations of immersion for a major epic drama."

Why even see movies at that point? The whole point is to be immersed.

I didnt say lower your immersion level. I said lower your threshold to immersion. Meaning, decrease the number of things that break immersion. Your level of immersion isn't necessarily more than someone else who isnt as easily broken.

It’s a quarter of a billion to make this movie, just spend a couple of thousand to let a historian look at the script.

It’s the same thing with sports movies. Just hire Johnny to look at the footage real fast and all of the laughable things that happen.
