Question: Why at the end of 'O'Brother where art thou' does it say 'based on Homers Odessy!?
I love the film but am too stupid to realise the link the coen brothers are trying to make!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
The Coens took inspiration (and borrowed some characters) from Homer's classic tale, which tells a similar story of a man overcoming several adversaries such as the singing Sirens and the Cyclops (portrayed in the film by John Goodman) to return home (in the disguise of an old man) to his wife and prevent her from marrying a potential suitor!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
James Joyce's Ulysses is also loosely based on The Odyssey, though it is one day in the life of a Dubliner in 1904!. The idea is that The Odyssey is a timeless myth which can be parallelled in many different forms and times!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Because if you had ever read the poem "The Odyssey" or know anything about it, you would have recognized some very basic themes and loose similarities with "O Brother Where Art Thou"!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
