The OdysseyOdysseus (Armand Assante) had a baby boy on the day he had to go fight in the Trojan War. Poseidon ( Miles Anderson) the god of the sea gives him and his people a hard time the whole journey. The Trojan war lasted 10 years. Odysseus and his people built a huge horse and the Trojans took the horse. While the Trojans were sleeping Odysseus and his people got out of the horse and killed the Trojans. Odysseus and his people headed home. He came to an island with Cyclops (Reid Asato) on it. They killed the Cyclops. They were off again. Odysseus met the god of wind Aeolus (Michael Pollard.) He gave Odysseus a bag of wind and told him Ò not to open it until he got on Athens.Ó Someone opened and it blew them off track. It blew them where Circe lived. She changed the men into animals. They were there 5 years. Odysseus went to the under world. The Scylla ate some of his men. The Charybdis ate his boat. He went to an island with Calypso (Venessa Williams.) He was there 5 years. Hermes ( Freedy Douglas) told her she had to let him go or her island would be push to the bottom of the sea. He came to Phoenician Island. He made it home safely. His family was very happy. The people in this movie did many different things than we do today. They wore different types of clothes. They ate with their hands. The women cover their face when the come out of their homes. I enjoyed this movie.
