Cold Around the Mountain World in 80 Days

Around the World in 80 Days (2004) is a comedy adventure movie based on the novel by Jules Verne and set in nineteenth century England. It stars Steve Coogan, Jackie Chan and Cecile de France.

Phineas Fogg (Steve Coogan) is a very innovative inventor, who feels slighted by the members of the Royal Academy of Sciences, who made fun of her inventions, considering it a useless and stupid.

One day, to get rid of it, I bet that your theory going around the world in 80 days is ridiculous and impossible, and if carried adventure and lost out (which is what they think will happen) will destroy his lab and leave his office, but if he wins, he was named Minister of Science.

Thus

immersed in the adventure of traveling the world in 80 days, always accompanied by his assistant Passepartout (Jackie Chan) and a French artist, Laurrose Monique (Cecile de France). His assistant is very interested in traveling with him, because you need to go to his village in China to return a stolen jewel that has the Bank of England, which the British had seized them, and this trip gave him a way to leave the country before being captured by police. During the trip, have to overcome many obstacles, some caused by those who did not believe in him and wanted to ensure his defeat, but finally make it to London on day number 80.

As for the parallels between the story of Phineas with Ulysses, we can distinguish the following: both return from their long trip and reset the situation of where they left (Phineas at the Royal Academy of Sciences, standing at the head of the institution, and Ulysses in the throne of Ithaca). Both think that their trip will be much easier than it is then, because Phineas members of the Royal Academy of Sciences will constantly balk and Ulysses the gods. Phineas gets emerge unscathed from adverse situations by their wits and cunning, as when they come over time while traveling by boat, and they manage to build a wood plane with the vessel itself provides the other hand also employs Ulises his cunning at times, like when you think of blocking the hearing of his sailors to the sirens do not prevent progress in their journey. A Phineas President of the Royal Academy of Science will boycott the trip constantly, thus preventing the return to London, Poseidon Odysseus attacks him in the same way, preventing the return to Ithaca. On one occasion both resort to disguise to hide their identity, Phineas does for men sent by the president Rade Sciences and power are not from the train, india woman dress and disguises Odysseus as an old beggar Athena, to get to Ithaca, so that those who crave his throne not kill him. Both do much of their journey by sea. Both are conservative and when in doubt always send his assistant / sailor to find anything.
