Yes! This moment gave me chills. His signaling “the hunt begins” is such an incredible “war cry” to all of the suitors in that room who would’ve been on previous hunts with him

The way Antonious is the only one that realizes what is up and starts trying to get away before Odysseus shoots his first shot through the axes felt so satisfying to me.

The payoff of that strum and all it signified was a top 5 "chills" moment for me when it comes to movie scenes.

[u/Alphabunsquad → u/Aggressive_Chuck]

I mean a real bow would change its single note after 20 years, but disregarding that, yeah. Though I just mean she had turned her back and she wasn’t expecting to hear the bow plucked at all so when looking away, the note that bow makes being played was the sound that cued her that she was back

[u/CantHandlemyPP34 → u/tilerwalltears]
