Okay so first scene - the puppy on the cliff. You see him kind of toss it but you don’t see it fall. You do hear it yelp.
It’s at the beginning - leave when tom holland’s character is sparring with his teacher on a cliff.

Second scene - there is an old dog that some of the guys staying in Odysseus house (rob pattinson) kick because it’s too weak to move.
Leave when the scene changes back to the dinner after the puppy thing

Third scene - the skeletons
This is towards the end. Some bandits will come up to a blind man’s house and the dogs bark at them. But that’s not the bad scene, leave when Odysseus arrives back on his home island. The man who owns the dogs is burning their bodies and you see their skeletons in the fire

Telemachus leaves his mum without telling her. She is told later and Telemachus later returns.

Penelope is aware of Odysseus needing to go. He warns her that he may not return and gives her permission to remarry.

I’m not sure if Odysseus tells Telemachus. Telemachus may have been too young to realise, but he certainly grows up suffering the consequences of his father’s years of absence.

No one is gaslighted in this movie, as no one is intentionally manipulated with the goal causing them to question their sense of what is real, their grasp on reality, or their sanity. People are lied to and manipulated in other ways, but there is NO GASLIGHTING. Erasing someone’s memories is not gaslighting - Calypso did not cause Odysseus to feel he was going insane for her benefit. Spreading misinformation is dangerous.

Lots of alcohol consumption. Odysseus also eats a white lotus which causes him to lose his memories, and while its not completely clear if its effect on him is chemical or magical, his use definitely has a lot of parallels to drug use that could be triggering to see.

Boar shot toward the beginning with an arrow. Sheep seem like they might be in harm’s way in the cyclops’ cave but nothing happens to them. Odysseus shoots and kills a deer. You don’t see the deer after. Two sheep are later sacrificed in the Underworld. There’s a good amount of blood but it’s not overly gory- can still be upsetting. I think a bird was shot too

No animals were actually physically harmed on set — while the movie does depict animal abuse, Christopher Nolan has explained that during scenes where the characters were mistreating the animals - they were dummies/props —
More context being that when the dog Argos was kicked, the actor kicked a prop, not the actual dog. Cast members have confirmed that during a scene where a puppy is thrown, the puppy was caught on soft netting blanket and checked for injuries with none being found. :)

Odysseus's loyal pup is left without much care when he goes on a quest that takes 20 years. The dog ages tremendously while he waits for his master to return. A blind man is entrusted with him but sucks at keeping him safe because he is abused repeatedly in the castle and no one really steps in to help the poor thing

When the Cyclops chases them to the boat he catches a few men and holds them underwater.
When the men are shown inside the Trojan Horse on the shore, waves come and some of them nearly drown. You hear gargling and see a drowning man try to breathe through a straw.
The armored giants destroy a boat and kill a lot of men in the water.
A few men jump overboard and swim to Sirens, likely drowning.
There is a heavy storm and men are basically waterboarded by it with some thrown out to sea.

Not in a spooky/horror way. The dead at hades are very human like. Athena is a God but they portray her as only being seen by Odysseus not the others in the room.

ok guys I have severe emetephobia and I couldn’t see sh*t in the Trojan horse or the storm boat scene but the scene that I hated was the audio of the pig force feeding scene… I’m more triggered by visual usually but the audio of the pig scene was a lot. I recommend using the restroom during this part :(

The sound design of the movie is quite explicit and disturbing. There were multiple scenes where I had to look away from the physical gore, but the audio gore was still enough to trigger me. The worst culprits were the circe scene and the battle of Troy. I’ll also note that the cyclops scream is not gory necessarily but the sound design makes it quite haunting and I still cried.

The Cyclops eats around 6 people throughout its segment. You can see and hear it biting off their heads and there are bone crunching sounds, so look away and plug your ears whenever it grabs someone. Other monsters grab men too but if they're eaten it's not shown, they just disappear. When the men meet the witch Circe they are shown graphically eating meat stew and the animals used are implied to be transformed humans.

When they are in the Trojan Horse the narration mentions they had to p**s and s**t inside the horse. The bottom of the horse is flooded by the ocean, so presumably everything fell down there and you don't see it, just murky water.
After Antinous says to get rid of the dog, it's put on top of a pile of dung outside, which you see again right at the end when Odysseus returns.

One could argue that Calypso's Island is a form of imprisonment, and you could certainly be triggered by the similarities to imprisonment.
There are mentions to prisons and imprisonment throughout the film as possible explanations for where Odysseus could be, but we dont visit or see any of those islands in the film, nor any dungeons or jails.

The character played by a trans actor (Sinon) has a younger version played by a presumably cis actor. He is portrayed as a victim who was sacrificed for the war and is the first to die in the film. He is buried honorably. In the afterlife he confronts Odysseus (responsible for his death) and gains some closure. There is nothing predatory or otherwise negative with the character.

I would consider the part with the sirens to be mental breakdowns. Odysseus is restrained and completely breaks down when he hears it. One person removed his wax and jumps overboard, killing himself.

The previously mentioned storm sequence (which is teased with two quick glimpses earlier in the film*) becomes really intense with strobe-like moments. The storm, which features blinding white flashes, follows the scene where Odysseus discovers his men cooking the cattle, and they return to the beach to find a clear sky which then hard cuts to the storm sequence lasting 2-3 minutes. Preceding dialogue/voiceover ends “…under Zeus’s sky” and the storm is over by the time Odysseus says to Calypso “I don’t know what happened to my men”.

* first lightning flash early on at night when Odysseus’s sailors are singing, second flash is when Odysseus scoops up some water from the shore on Calypso’s island

SPOILERS: There’s also background lightning flashes that begin when Odysseus passes Penelope’s test and reoccur throughout the whole fight with the suitors, culminating with the defeat of Antinous.

Additionally all night-time scenes feature flames flickering with varying intensity, especially in the banquet room on Ithaca, the Spartan palace and the climax of the burning of Troy.

Relationships Back to Top

In response to the answer about Antinous - he drew lots like all the others when Odysseus was gathering men to go to war. Antinous is at least a young adult at that time, as he convinces Sinon’s family he will ensure they are taken care of. I would say he is probably between 16-20. When he is trying to woo Penelope, it is twenty years later, meaning Antinous is roughly 36-40 years old.

Penelope is also likely to be in her mid-forties, not her thirties, as she was not a girl when Odysseus left.

All of the ages of the actors playing main human roles generally fit the age of their character (with exception of Sinon and Telemachus).

It's a Nolan film, that's always the theme in some way. It comes back to the meaning of our lives and how we're supposed to be living. It is nuanced, it may not be debated but it is arguably a major theme. What is our purpose and how should we behave?
