The Odyssey and Existentialism (thinking about existence and applying meaning to it)

His desire to be with his wife was key.

Immortality – existing forever in a certain form. Odysseus chooses being with his wife and living the
life of a human over that of a god.

Why are both styles of documentary fine in different ways?

-It is an action adventure

-It is a love story

-But ultimately it is a quest for understanding the importance of being human

Trying to return home. (The value of family).

Just surviving.
