The Epic of Gilgamesh

>2023 AD
>STILL no cinematic experience of the over 4000-year-old Sumerian epic.
Something like a 3+ hour epic historic film like Troy would work, but more stylised and mythologic like 300 or something. I guess it's just too based for current society.

    Gilgamesh is a chud so you can't make a movie about him

      He's gay though, so the progressives would like that.

        He fricked many women and was based enough to turn down a goddess who was arrogant enough to think Gilgi wanted anything to do with her. His relationship with Enkidu only shows that, even since the beginning of time, men knew that it's bros before hos

    it's just the blueprint for what became the standard template for all modern storytelling ie the hero's journey. literally watch anything that involves a monomyth archetype (star wars, the matrix, dune, back the future) and you're immersing yourself in gilgamesh.

      But it doesn’t have the kino Mesopotamian aesthetic.

        a literal adaptation probably wouldn't work though so you gotta go the allegorical/metaphor route

          Extremely stylized mythological 300-esque route would work as well I'm thinking, narrated by some guy who's not Gilgamesh.

      "That guy" isn't Ea-Nasir, it's a statue of a random worshipper of Enlil

        No one said anything about Ea-Nasir, maybe this guy just really wants to see what this random worshipper was doing financially.

    It's honestly worth adapting to film just to be the the first one to do it rather than necessarily being a financial success

      Ishtar's former lovers all befell ill fates. Also she's a dirty bawd
      >prefers the company of hairy men
      Enkidu pretty much becomes his brother, Gilgamesh's mother even adopts him.
      >the secret or immortality is everyone else dying around you until you're the last one standing
      The secret of immortality is that only the gods can grant it, but immortality can be achieved (of sorts) in other ways (your lasting legacy)

        honestly the "lord's right of first night" legend is probably based on a misunderstanding of prostitution. the rich guys were fricking everyone's daughters first by paying the fathers off, then the girls had to get married in a hurry.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the tablet in OP appears cracked and missing tons of words. Seems like there was a lot of fan fiction for Gilgamesh.

      the story of gilgamesh has a few different literary works the most known one is a later akkadian version. But it is believed to originate from earlier oral traditions iirc

    you can thank the christcucks for that, they intentionally destroyed the missing tablets because they couldn't handle any literary work older than their israeli israelite book
