That Elliot actually decided to do this role seems to prove the point that itโs a masterstroke on the creative and practical part of Nolan as director.
And that it has struck a nerve with the culture this much even before official release says a lot.
Sinon is the one who is tricked in this version. Tricked by Odysseus into delivering the Trojan Horse. He is also presented as the shameful replacement of a man who is refusing to play his manly role in society. Nolan puts the shame on men who have abandoned their responsibilities and not the "troon", which is absolutely right.
