Average Rating: Rating: - Wow I think The Odyssey by Homer is a pretty good movie. The cast members look like they lived in that time period. Some of the people that played in the movie are (Armand Assante) Odysseus, (Greta Sacchi) Penelope, (Isabella Rosselini) Athene, and many more. Also the clothes they wore were authentic. Like the tunic, all the dresses, and the armor. The casting by the actors made you think that you were watching the real thing. My favorite character in the movie is Michael Pollard who played Aeolus the god of wind. During the movie they started new adventures as soon as the finished one. The movie is pretty good but is slow in some parts. After a slow part it picked back up into an action scene. It is also more historical than entertainment. They had to press the wine, sacrifice goats, heard goats, fish, make weapons, and several other things. So in conclusion I give The Odyssey four stars Rating: - Educational Aid The Odyssey is a great educational aid. The movie is a great explanation of the story of Odysseus (Armand Assante). If I would have read the translated story in a book, I really wouldn't understand the story at all. Odysseus has great preserverence. HIs family has even more, considering the fact that after 7 years of war and 10 more years after that, they still believe Odysseus will return. Penelope, (Greta Scacchi) Odysseus' wife, never gave up on Odysseus, and kept the promise he asked of her the day he left for war. Telemachus (Alan Stenson) did his best in walking in his father's footsteps. It was hard to name Odysseus as the only protaganist, because Penelope was also a main character. After viewing this movie, I have a better understanding of why the writer Homer would write a poem about the adventures of Odysseus. I have a better understanding of why the greeks had polytheism. In the movie, it shows how strong polytheisn was. When Odysseus' son, Telemachus is born, he shouts out, "The the gods and Penelope. . ." . During the movie Athena (Isabella Rosellini) appears to give Odysseus and Penelope her wisdom. The movie also shows how olives were pressed for olive oil in those days. I thought that was pretty interesting , knowing that the Greeks used olives in practically all their food. Overall, The Odyssey was a unit on Greece all by itself. Rating: - The Odyssey The Odyssey This movie was really good. It is the best movie I have seen in school. Some of my favorite characters are Athene (Isabella Rossellini), Odysseus (Armand Assante), Calypso (Vanessa Williams). The movie started off with Odysseus being called to fight in the Trojan War. It had good effects of how they hide in the horse. Odysseus ran into a lot of mythological creatures. Some of them helped him and some tried to make his trip back to Ithaca really hard. I liked the way Vanessa Williams played Calypso. She is a really good actress. I also liked the effects of Poseidon (Miles Anderson) it was really good how they had his face on the wave since he is the god of the sea. The best part to me is when Odysseus gets home and shoots the arrows through the twelve axes. I also like when Odysseus and his son fight the men who want to marry Penelope. It is really good when he hits everyone with an arrow and he hits one man going out he door to escape and the arrow goes out of the man and hits the woman I think who is suppose to take care of OdysseusÕs son. This movie was really and I hope to watch it again in school some other time.
