This production is very well done and scripted based on what his close family and companions thought of Onassis and his actions. The cast is well selected to fit biographically the roles in which they play with good music and costume.
The film in details tells the biography of Onassis without any complications and concentrates on the key epochs and aspects of his life from a humble background in to one of the most richest people in history with his shipping company a role that came with his heritage as greece was the biggest maker of ships in Europe due to its history of a navy heritage Another good aspect was his sad but rich personal life especially his affairs and marriages and relations with his children and the powerful elites he mixed with.
One negative aspect i did not like about this film was that it contained anti-Turkish bias. The Greeks are displayed as virtuous and innocent whilst in a time of occupation after world war one living side by side with the Turks. The Greeks invaded Turkey in 1920 when Onassis was a teenager and acted like the Nazis in Europe during world war two until they were defeated by nationalist resistance in 1923 so how come turks are "religious fascists" Other derogatory terms are that "Turkish Peasant" his own people would of called him Anatolian not Turkish and "Garbage from the gutters of Turkey" to say he was not like the Greeks of the European mainland.
