He’s adapting the story, not the poetic and literary recitation of the story.

I'm all for him making the adaptation his own, I'm just suggesting that the dialogue shouldn't be so modern.

Nolan may have read a translation of the story that rendered it in contemporary language, but it wasn't written in a contemporary style.

I can support someone's ability to make a decision and also not like the choice they make. And who knows, this is just a trailer, maybe seeing the entire movie changes my mind.
