He tries to say that
You are putting words into his mouth to support your interpretation of those images. I interpreted those images as simply another demonstration of the lack of imagination the movie displays. Whether riding a big flying animal is derived from Greek mythology or from Harry Potter is irrelevant.
Before flinging the first criticism that comes to your mind at him, be critical of your own criticism. Supposing 'the guy know nothing of Greek Mythology' is a vast and unnecessary underestimation of his intelligence and credentials. If you'd bother to look him up, you'd see that he is probably quite aware of the mythological origins of these images.
- Jim72 17y agoI put no words in his mouth. You apparently failed to read the article. "... and the flying birds were derivative of Potter creatures, including mastering flying on the back of big bird creatures." And I am sure Kurzweil knows about Pegasus. All the more the reason his article was bunk!
- Confusion 17y agoI completely missed that line when I first read the article and I even missed it when I read it again, to figure out what you were talking about. I guess that shows how relevant the point about the flying thing is to the content of the article.
