Reaction paper of the movie The Odyssey?
Odyssey is one of the famous ancient greek epic written by
homer. I think that it was really interesting. Before maam conte
taught us the story of odyssey im looking forward to it. Maybe,
because ive got curios when i read the iliad. it such a great thing
that we/i can watch some scene in history of the greeks. for me who
really like knowing about greeks god and goddesses was happy about
the movie. I see that the greek epic was indeed rich in culture. In
this movie i can have an idea of what happens before. its a good
thing that there's a movie like this . it really help us students
because i think that we can much more understand the odyssey if
were actually watching it eventhough that the teacher already
taught it . it seems that the students not only enjoying watching
it but the same time learning. moreover, I can say that The Odyssey
is an enjoyable story following King Odysseus' adventures during
the ten years he spent returning from the Trojan War to Ithaca,
Greece.There were many differences between this version in movie of
The Odyssey and Homer's original story. In the movie they include
the facts that encounters with Sirens, Laestrygonians, Lotus
Eaters, and cattle of Helios are omitted. Though, I understand that
it is not totally true to Homer's Odyssey but that it is close
enough to present an entertaining version of the story.
unfortunately sometimes i had a problem in understanding what they
are saying due to the fact that there's no subtitle and they have
some accent in speaking that makes it more hard. Finally, i can
said that the movie is filled with adventure, romance and humor and
that it should please anyone who loves mythology or who wants to
understand Homer's text better like me.
