Product: The Odyssey [VHS] (1997)
Rating: 4.0
Not a bad Tale, especially if you're an English teacher.
As a freshman English teacher, I am very greatful for this movie. I am also a huge fan of Homer's epics, and this movie is very well done! The transitions between what goes on at home and Ithaca and Odysseus' travels are excellent.My and my students' only complaint is some of the potentially interesting and tense stops on the journey are cut; my kids complain that the Sirens are cut from this version. Also, I am a little dissappointed that his adventures are not in the same order as he encounters them, so I end up having to wait until after my students read the story to show the movie.It's a very good story!
