Although I have read the original book of "The Odyssey" once, it is still difficult to see how much parody in the film, and for those who are not familiar with the story of "The Odyssey", it may be even more regrettable. It was also very painful to watch "The Odyssey". It was completely dependent on willpower. After reading it, I basically couldn't remember anything except the main line of the story. Kundera also said that forgetting is the enemy of novel authors and readers. The author slowly lays down a shadow in a long novel to pave the way for the following text, and crafts it meticulously, but the reader has long forgotten the content of the previous page, only Can have a rough summary. Fiction writers can never expect readers to understand their novels as they do. Because of forgetting, everyone will have a different Ulysses in their hearts.

As the title, this is the story of three people who escape from prison. The protagonist is named Ulysses. He escapes from prison with two prisoners who are locked together, looking for treasures, and encounters some people and things along the way. There are two blind men and a one-eyed dragon in the film. The first blind man is a god-given prophet who talks crazy and thinks that this man may be a reflection of Mr. Homer. The film also features Homer, a gubernatorial candidate and local boss of the Ku Klux Klan. I don't know how many metaphors there are in the film, what happened to the religious people who were being baptized for the first time, whether the KKK was the KKK, whether the gubernatorial race was just a gubernatorial race, the six Ulysses Does the (seven) daughters have anything to do with the Muses, but that's not quite the right generation (but the Greeks don't talk about seniority very much). The famous scene of Odysseus's journey to the underworld in "The Odyssey" does not seem to suggest that he is afraid of breaking the atmosphere of the film's comedy.

Aside from these ghostly metaphors and allusions, this is still a lighthearted and funny musical comedy movie. George Clooney has rich expressions, exaggerated performances, and the two comedians supporting roles are just right, plus the gold production of the Coen brothers, a must-have in summer. In addition, in the original sound of "Three Kings of Prison Escape", the speed is super slow.
