#The odyssey 1997 movie#
His appearance in this movie had implemented a new, until now never seen category – A FLYING FAGGOT! I don’t know where the urge to represent the son of supreme Greek god as nothing else than a plain homo came from. Next one of many, many, many wrong things in this movie is representation of Hermes who is messenger of the Gods and son of Zeus. Also, the fact that the baby didn’t cry after being born is very disturbing and confusing. Also there wasn’t any fluid, blood, umbilical cord or any other thing which are present at any normal giving birth to a human being. Odyssey’s wife, Penelope, gave a birth to a baby in a record time of 2 minutes. In 85% of the movie Assante is totally incoherent and people who ought to understand anything are forced to turn on their speakers to a maximum and then press ears onto it (tho, due to the awful script they still won’t be able to understand a thing).Īnyway, let’s continue. Assante’s accent combined with his attempt to sound Greek turned out to be a failure of epic proportions. I don’t know who came up with idea of casting a Italo-Irish man to play a Greek hero but I do know that that person should bear consequences for his actions. First mistake – Armand Assante as Odyssey. This version of a wonderful and extremely interesting Homer Epic had started wrong from the very beginning. To this day I can not understand how this blasphemy managed to win an award (if there is still anyone who counts Emmy as award) and be nominated for Golden Globe.
