Why the scores diverge

The 22-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.
The Odyssey highlight: The film prominently features Odysseus's reflective moralizing and thematic messaging through dialogue, especially in its opening scenes, which suggests a message-first approach to storytelling.
Boxcar Bertha highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans into social and political messaging, reflecting the union and anti-establishment themes, but it generally serves the story rather than overwhelming it.
The Odyssey: Significant rearrangement and re-centering of the Trojan Horse and the destruction of Troy sequence shifts the narrative focus toward Odysseus's guilt, marking a clear legacy rewriting from Homer’s original epic.
Boxcar Bertha: Characters feel grounded in their roles within the Depression-era setting, with minimal tokenistic insertion; their motivations align with the narrative context.
