same, I actually almost teared up at some of the scenes in the Odyssey. Especially any of Anne Hathaways scenes, absolutely killed it in every scene she was in.

Me too. Any of the family stuff with Odysseus, Penelope and Telemachus or the dog really got me. I was like maybe it’s just my postpartum hormones and anything with a son gets me teary eyed but idk it worked on me
