    For example, in The Odyssey, beautiful women known as the Sirens sing alluring songs that draw men to their deaths. Odysseus’s crew escaped unscathed, but in O Brother Where Art Thou?, these beautiful women intoxicated the group, and turned Pete in for a reward. The screenwriters made the Sirens pretty close considering the massive setting change. Similarly, when Odysseus was sailing on his journey, he discovered and island full of people who ate lotus flowers. When some of his men ate the flowers, Odysseus discovered that eating the flowers made them lose track of time. So he rescued the men who had eaten the flower, packed up ship, and ordered “All Hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotos, or you lose your hope of home.” (Homer 148) The movie’s version took the form of a church congregation where people could be “saved” by God. Pete and Delmar got baptized and “washed of their sins” and lost their desire to look for the treasure. One of the more different plot elements concerns the Cyclops. In The Odyssey, the Cyclops, Polyphemus, is a one eyed monster that Odysseus must use his wits to escape from. In O Brother Where Art Thou?, Polyphemus becomes a one eyed, traveling, bible salesmen named Daniel Teauge. Teauge lures Ulysses and Delmar out to a…

    Also, in the movie there is a scene where Antigone and the guard take an elevator and a car to get to a cave where she will be trapped in for burying Polynices. Since this book was written in about 442 B.C, Sophocles would not even know what and elevator or a car was let alone put the both in his book. Back in his day they would have walked to wherever they were going and definitely not to an elevator. Little details like that are what make the book and movie so different. Like the way they talk, dress, and the things that they have in their house is definitely more updated than what Sophocles had in mind.…

    In 1965, African Americans were given the right to vote. The decade that followed brought with it an increasing recognition of black rights, but the prejudice of the white community was still profuse. ‘Remember the Titans’ is set in this socio cultural climate. Directed by Boaz Yakin, this film follows the adversities faced by an newly integrated high school football team and their African-American coach. Throughout the film, characters are presented with a number of defining ethical and moral dilemmas. This discernibly includes racial prejudice, peer pressure, ego and ambition. These discourses will be explored extensively with reference to relevant literary features and therefore demonstrate their exceptional ability to shape viewer interpretations. With the production of this film, Yakin effectively manipulates the audience's’ perceptions of relevant issues and dilemmas, to furthermore convey the oppression of the black community during the 1970’s.…

    Beowulf: Poem Analysis

    The third and final big difference was Grendel. The poem said that Grendel was a son of Cain. He would attack when everyone was sleeping because people were telling the creation story. In the movie, Grendel was a son of Hrothgar. Grendel attacked during the party because of the praise people would give to Hrothgar. Hollywood did this because they wanted to make them three dimensional, good versus evil. The movie removed references to God and Christianity, so that it would be more favored by the bad guy, Unferth. Hollywood also wanted to make it more appealing to the changing audiences to make them interested in watching it.…
