Why the scores diverge

The 23-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.
Eyes Wide Shut highlight: Dialogue occasionally leans into thematic exposition about desire and fidelity but remains largely naturalistic rather than preachy or overtly ideological.
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.
Eyes Wide Shut: Characters serve the story's psychological and mysterious tone without feeling inserted for symbolic diversity or tokenism.
