____________ When I watched the introduction to Odyssey, it was an epic movie, and I ran for it. It was an ancient Greek type movie. At first, I thought it was a long-length battle movie with big scenes, and the picture was not very good. Later, it got better. Of course, I have also been attracted. There are many things in life that are compelled to do. The protagonist "Odysseus" in the play will leave his homeland on the day his child is born, his beloved wife and newly born child - to fight, this is him. The happiest day is also his saddest day. No one knows what will happen after this day. War is always full of uncertainty. As the king of Iskar, he has to protect his people; as a husband, The whole family had to be protected, so Odysseus had to fight, Odysseus was a man who could lie, could lie, and was highly intelligent, and in that slave age he became a king—the king of Iskar, who was in harmony with When his wife said goodbye, Odysseus made his wife take an oath; mutual agreement: "Before his son grows a beard, if he does not come back, he will be allowed to remarry and keep the kingdom". (Seeing this, I can't help thinking, if he and his wife don't have this agreement, whether his wife will insist on waiting for him for 16 years, I'm not sure, it's not that his wife is unfaithful, persistence also needs a goal, when If you can’t see hope for a long time, it’s useless to have strong beliefs. When you stick to that point and hope doesn’t appear, the change may be a kind of relief. Such an agreement can also give yourself a persistence and give others a supervision. Now, what should be done, the world has to keep turning, this is like Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms when he asked Zhuge Liang to make an oath in front of everyone, the rules he set for himself are more effective, sometimes It's not that we don't believe it, but that we need a reason). So he set off with a large army, and fought the Trojan War for ten years, but he failed to win. In this year, Odysseus used the "Trojan Horse" to win. After the victory of the war, Odysseus was a little arrogant, and he offended the equally arrogant and proud god of the sea, Poseidon. From then on, his return journey was destined to become extraordinary, and a self-cultivation and training began (rarely). There are people who can stay calm after a powerful satisfaction and victory, just like when a person suddenly gives you a lot of money, fame, status and prestige, and then suddenly takes him away, few people can withstand such trials and ups and downs , although there was nothing in the first place, I don't think I could stand it either). So Poseidon gave Odysseus punishment - drifting on the sea forever. On the way back Odysseus got lost, the whole sea was foggy, The first island to drift to met the Cyclops, the son of Poseidon, the sea god, Odysseus escaped the island with his composure and wit, of course at the cost of sacrificing two people, one by the giant After eating, one was beaten to death (here is another application of psychology or management. When encountering a powerful enemy, you must be humble, you must know how to show weakness, and the same is true of communicating with strong people, otherwise it may be difficult to communicate. When bad things happen, showing weakness can win sympathy and goodwill), and then he got the help of Fengshen, Fengshen took away the east wind and gave him to Odysseus, just when they were about to return to Isca, his men Men can't resist temptation and curiosity to open the bag and blow them to the other side of the world (here, Odysseus tells them to know what's in it when they get to Isca, though his men respect it He supports him, but few people can withstand the temptation in the face of wealth. They think it is gold and treasure, and they still answer the sentence: "Men can only share weal and woe, but not wealth and honor"; how many emperors and sons in ancient times. Here Odysseus did not play his lying skills, so as the boss, you have to let your subordinates know that you have no reservations, especially about some things that are shared, even if you lie to them, you have to tell them, you don't tell them They are thinking about it in their hearts, and sooner or later something will happen, that is, the "secret" you want to say is designed to be said). Encountered a witch on the other side of the world, the witch turned his subordinates into animals, one of them escaped, but he had become a pig, and the others wanted to kill and eat the pig when they saw it , because they were really hungry, but fortunately there was a person who protected him regardless of life and death, (How important it is to have a trustworthy person in a crisis, when people are greatly challenged, their instincts are threatened. At times, it really doesn't care about anything, so everyone's instincts are replaced by other things or oppressors. Once the original instinct is threatened, whether it is sex, violence, or destructive power will be exposed. Advanced Animals still have animal instincts, so life is practice), at this time Odysseus once showed the style of being the boss, and went to rescue his men alone, when he got the help of God and was free from The witch's attack, (no matter how hard a person is, he can't do without some special help, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve things, maybe this is the so-called luck), of course, he also spent five years here, the whole adventure seems to be a trick of the gods , they are all capable of spells, magic, when a fairy waved, mortals need to pay double and even their lives. To put it nicely, it is called self-discipline, and to put it badly is to make fun of others. ,this is life. Through the guidance of the witch, Odysseus came to the underworld to find his way back. At one time, he embodied the demeanor of a king and the bravery of a warrior. He met his mother in the underworld, who died in despair because he could not wait for his return. , I have no way to understand this kind of despair. When Odysseus has not returned to his homeland, I am a little desperate as an audience.
. On the way to leave the witch, he lost his man, and he was the only one left. He grabbed a piece of wood and drifted to the goddess' island. From the beginning to the present, he showed Odysseus' strong desire for survival and perseverance. In this In the "daughter country" full of women, Odysseus still did not give up his desire to go home, or his longing for his wife and children. What would it be like to grow up in an environment without the shadow and breath of a man, whether it would lose physical instincts and desires, whether there would be no killing), with the help of Zeus, the witch released Odysseus to Poseidon at sea He took revenge on him once again, just to let him understand that without the help of God, mortals are nothing. Odysseus finally bowed his head in front of God, like fate and life surrendered, even if he lied to you, at least he bowed his head. , when he set foot on the land of his hometown with the help of the king of Sparta and ate the food of his hometown, even the king who had experienced ups and downs, life and death along the way could not help but shed heroic tears, that was him What I have been longing for, I think about it day and night, where I can't sleep, (even a strong person can't stand the softest attack in his heart, it melts like snow and melts all over his body), when Odysseus returns When he got here, everything was different from when he left. Crowds of people gathered around the house to eat and drink, and his wife was facing a powerful and powerful marriage. After more than ten years of training, there was nothing that could make him afraid, but he was afraid. His wife had changed her mind, she was unfaithful to him, and what was the point of coming back desperately? Human instincts were revealed once and for all. With the help of Athena, she changed her appearance and tested her. Not knowing when he came back, he organized the game and said, "Goodbye, Odysseus". Maybe sometimes the promise is really a burden. When Odysseus came back, he did not tell anyone that he had learned to be calm, and when he saw many people surrounding his house, he had been able to restrain his anger and said to his son: "Anger is useless, only when it is appropriate. A hero is a hero when he vents for the right reasons." All thanks to life. There is hope and trust throughout the film. When Odysseus has not returned to his homeland, I am a little disappointed as an audience
