Cyclops: "The Odyssey" Text To Film?

What subtle or overt differences did you notice regarding the Book IX The Odyssey reading and The Odyssey film clip of the Cyclops episode?  Explain, note, argue, quote, and defend.  Anything regarding the Heroic Code, Guest/Host Relationship, or hubris?  After watching the film clip, please respond during class.

The video seemed as if they were heroic and that they were in the right but in the reading it felt more like Odysseus was in the wrong for trespassing on the giants land. I think that the video also didn't depict the interaction between Odysseus and Athena seemed to be skipped over. The important role that Athena played in the escape of Odysseus. Also they seemed to gloss over the fact that many of Odysseus' crew died in the cave because they were eaten by the giant.
