This is one gutsy ending with Ulysses going unhinged, releasing his wrath on those that have taken advantage of his family. WOW! What an amazing turn of events!

There are two details here that I think are good changes. 1. In Homer's Odyssey, after Antinous is shot, Eurymachus tries to apologize to Odysseus/Ulysses, offering to repay him for everything the suitors have taken while he was gone. Odysseus refuses the offer and says that nothing can persuade him not to kill them all. This adaptation changes it so that the suitors immediately attack as soon as they realize Ulysses is back. This makes the killing of the suitors more justified, since there was no opportunity to negotiate with them. 2. After the suitors are all slaughtered, in Homer's version Odysseus has 12 serving women who slept with the suitors clean the room before they are all hanged, which seems grossly unfair, to say the least. This adaptation shows the serving women actually bringing weapons to the suitors and encouraging them to kill Ulysses, so it's more clear that they truly are traitors.

Movie theatres had to complete with a new invention called "television" that was gaining popularity and they tried all kinds of things.

Italian-made with some Hollywood talent, including the cinematographer and some of the (many) writers. Directed by Mario Camerini, whose career went back to the silent era. He directed one of the earliest sword-and-sandal (peplum) films - Maciste Against the Sheik - so he had experience in this sort of thing. However, he doesn't seem to be much of a director of actors. Anthony Quinn does only the obvious sort of epic-y stuff here, as do the other suitors.Silvana Mangano didn't have to do much but look beautifully stoic, or stoically beautiful - she was the wife of one of the producers (Dino De Laurentiis). Douglas is fine, playing to his strength of volcanic pressure just under the surface, then erupting. I checked this out because the design of some lampposts I see form a similar "tunnel" effect as the curves of the axes, and I started thinking about this sequence. Thanks to the Internet and You Tube, here it is. Yay. Now for the sequence with the Cyclops, Polyphemus...

Amazing that he uses a simple pinch of the thumb and forefinger to pluck the bow that no one can bend. They could have at least taught him the three finger method.
@pendragonU2 жыл бұрын
the trick was that they used the traditional hold to pull the string as hard as they could to the bow ridge, when the string will never stretch as only the bow will bend. BUT, in doing so their own fingers take space for the string to come closer to bow. He simply scooped the string hole in his palm and with the tip of his finger tucked in the bow the loop. That's a very calculated measure only a methodical mind as Ulysses could painstakingly come up himself. His shot through the axes rings was no less telling of such mind that worked like a precision clockmaker. And the rest cool hand and sober wits against so many enemies when it comes to him, is proverbial of a man who's a veteran of much worse these pencil pushers ever seen or stand around such hells as he did and overcame victorious where many failed. The most gifted of Hellenes.

People who regularly used axes understood what it meant to shoot an arrow through the hole in an axe.

Exactly right. And in Homer, Penelope's faithfulness is strongly contrasted with the unfaithfulness of Clytemnestra', Agamemnon's wife, who not only cheats on him but murders him with the aid of her lover when he returns from Troy. Mind you, Agamemnon not only fooled around himself in Troy, but claims Achilles' "prize", one of the women captured by the Acheans, thus setting up the quarrel which is the subject of the "Iliad".

This is an old movie - so awesome to see Kirk Douglas young and strong! He died in February of this year 2020 - at age 103. RIP Mr. Douglas - you were always a fascinating and beautiful man - I will remember you this way. Edit: I had his age at 104. My bad.

It could be. Greek heroes from that era are somewhere between legend and history. They found the real ruins of Agamemnon's (Mycenae) and Nestor's (Pylos) palaces who was his companions in Troy's war.

A corny film sometimes, but this scene is taken right from Homer (that TV version from 1997 got this scene very wrong). I have long thought it the most dramatic moment in literature, when he strings the bow, and the suitors suddenly think "Oh crap, we're done for. . . "
@michelvanderlinden83638 жыл бұрын
+edriant1916 Really? I thought the 1997 version did it terrific. The moment where he passes the test and his disguise is removed, and all the suitors see who he is. I thought it was much more dramatic. Though I admit the suitors here put up much more of a fight.

In the 1997 version I remember Odysseus telling Telemachus "Now is the time for your anger" and a moment later Telemachus sticks a spear through Antinous. Homer, and Kirk Douglas' film, have Odysseus sending an arrow through Antinous' neck. It may seem a minor difference, but I was disappointed.
@jennytawler74925 жыл бұрын
This is certainly much closer to Homer but it’s still far off in a very important aspect - in Homer, Penelope does NOT witness the slaughter of the Suitors, which sets things up for a very important scene, where Penelope « tests » Odyseseus (Ulysses) and he proves who he is, which leads Penelope to go straight to bed with him.

The 1997 version has an effective scene when the suitor played by Eric Roberts, who in the book is called Eurymachus and who has seduced the disloyal maid Melantho, realizes that Odysseus will kill him and runs to the barred door calling for Melantho to open it from the other side, whereupon Odysseus hurls a spear which pierces through Roberts, the door, and Melantho!
