References to Homer's Odyssey In O Brother Where Art Thou?:\n\nThe names of George Clooney and Holly Hunter's characters (Ulysses & Penelope)\n\none-eyed Big Dan as the Cyclops (blinded with a burning pole)\n\nthe three girls by the river as the Sirens\n\nUlysses' wife marrying someone else when he comes home\n\nthe old-man disguise\n\nthe changing of one of Ulysses' companions into an animal\n\nthe Baptists as the Lotus-eaters\n\nthe Ku Klux Klan has a rank of Grand (or Exalted) Cyclops\n\nthey catch a ride on a hand-pumped railcar that is being operated by a blind prophet, who tells them that they will not find the treasure they seek. The prophet character in the Odyssey was Teiresias, whom Odysseus consulted in the underworld when he needed information on how to get home again\n\nthe movie theater scene as the trip through the Underworld.\n\nOdysseus nearly drowned, but clings to a piece of wood.\n\nOdysseus and Everett both reveal themselves by performing an act no one else could: Odysseus strings a special bow and fires it through seven rings; Everett sings "Man of Constant Sorrow" as only the leader of the Soggy Bottom Boys can.\n\n"Pappy's" given name, Menelaus, is the same as the king who declared war on Troy in the first place.\n\nthe Latin equivalent of the Greek name Odysseus is Ulysses.\n\n"Sing in me O Muse... ", the line at the beginning of the film, is the first line of the Odyssey.\n\nthe killing of the cattle of Helios by the "fools" in the Odyssey is mirrored by Baby Face Nelson shooting the cows.\n\nevery time Ulysses falls asleep something bad happens.\n\nthe song which plays throughout the movie is called "Man of Constant Sorrow", Odysseus means "man who is in constant pain and sorrow".\n\na man of constant sorrow is also a description of Odysseus.\n\nPappy's opposition for Governor's has the first name Homer.\n\nwhen Ulysses first meets Big Dan in the restaurant there is a statue of Homer in the background.\n\nThere is a "Blind Bard" who pays the boys to "sing into his can". Homer was often (and probably erroneously) thought to be a blind bard who told his stories verbally to his students.

It is a movie about fictional event.

Yes it is very similar, because the norns and the fates are almost the same people, but there are enough differences in those 2 myths to make it a good comparison.

While the movie was definitely entertaining, I also felt that it was way off the book's plot. I think that if Hollywood is going to make a film reproduction of a book, especially one in a series, and doubly especially one in a series in which another film adaptation has already been made, they really ought to stay as close to the "facts" as possible, because they must know that the literary fans are going to poo poo it if they don't. Was Anne Rice even on board as a consultant? My guess is no.

Throught most of the movie these two characters seem very different, however, towards the end it is revealed that they more similar than they would like to admit.  \nKat seems to be anti-social and full of angst.  However, throught the movie we learn that alot of this is due to the burdon of being a constant example for her younger sis, and hiding the secret about her past relationship with Joey.  In the end, we see Kat as someone who can open her heart, can learn to love, and is capable of taking care of herself and those around her.\nBianca seems to be a typical "popular kid" who is only worried about her lipgloss and the latest fashions.  In the end we learn that she is not as superficial as she might like to think, and that she also doesn't care what people think about her.\nWow, I so thought I would come up with something better than that!  Sorry!  But I love the movie!

It means the story of the novel is set in on basic element. Everything that’s happening leans into one specific part of the story

I didnt think that it was supposed to be directly related to the other books. It uses some of the same characters, but it wasnt a direct continuation of The Giver.

My guess is that the movie and book similar, but not exactly same. Meaning that the some parts in the book may be differently interpreted, modified, removed, or added into movie to fit in time and budget wisely. One example of that might be "Lord of the Rings". If you read the book, some descriptions on the book might different, removed, or not same order as what is on the movie. I think that would be the same case with this one.

The book has so much more just like any book turned into a movie. The movie can never measure up. It is a time thing. If they tried to have it all in the movie they would be 5 hours long.
