Why the scores diverge

The 10-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.
Incendies highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans into message-driven moments, especially when addressing themes of war and hatred, but generally remains grounded in character motivations.
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.
Incendies: Characters feel mostly organic to the story, with minimal tokenistic shaping; their identities serve the narrative rather than symbolic checkboxes.
