The film is based on another movie called "The Return of Martin Guerre," which is about a soldier's return home, and to change people's appearance people do not believe he is. Sommersby
The film is a man who tries to change his life, posing as a man he knew who had died. When it comes to people, all people will receive and "his wife and son" too, but comes with a changed appearance and with a different character so it makes some people starting to suspect if he really.
The film has many parallels with the Odyssey. Initially, Jack Sommersby returns home from war, this compares with the Trojan War in Ulysses involved.
When Jack comes home do not recognize him because his appearance is changed, while in the Odyssey Odysseus disguises himself so nobody recognizes him except his dog. In Jack Sommersby's dog is the first to admit that he really is not Jack Sommersby.
The "woman" Jack had been a suitor when he was in the war, called Orion, in addition to it to retrieve her love to Jack and try to kill him if he knows is an imposter. In the Odyssey, Penelope had a number of suitors, and Odysseus did not return from war, and when it arrives, they try to kill him but he kills them before. Orin
also could be compared with Poseidon as it is meddling in everything you do Jack.
Ulysses is a smart man who knows how to get out of difficult situations, this also makes Jack when he is in court.
