Product: The Odyssey [VHS] (1997)
Rating: 4.0
A good movie
Although it did not exactly follow Homer's epic, I think the movie was good, interesting, and fundamentally accurate. The whole idea of Homer's epic is how a mortal man was able to think his way through situations. I think that the movie portrayed this well. Another important element in Homer's epic is the commitment of Odysseus and his wife, Penelope, toward each other. Although it could have been protrayed better, I think this romantic theme is evident throughout the movie. As a historical account of Homer's tale, it could be improved. As a movie, I think it's great!
