Troubling Unchildlike Behavior | |
| The Swan (2023) / int_77ed6b7d | comment |
Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: "Boys will be boys", sure, but tying a younger boy up and laying him on train tracks, killing a swan (and about 14 other birds) before tying its wings to his arms and forcing him to jump out of a willow tree? More than a little concerning. | |

Chained to a Railway | |
| The Swan (2023) / int_872b9e12 | comment |
Chained to a Railway: Peter's bullies tie him up and lay him on a railway (before tying him down to it) and watch. He survives an oncoming train by burrowing a hole in the gravel with his head and feet. | |

Bad People Abuse Animals | |
| The Swan (2023) / int_d2102da0 | comment |
Bad People Abuse Animals: The bully Ernie is gifted a rifle for his birthday; he and his best friend Raymond promptly shoot down over a dozen birds and hang them with a string. They then kill a swan and tie its wings to Peter, despite his pleas that the swan is a protected species. | |

White Void Room: The "set" where the swan's wings are affixed to Ernie is a blank white "prop room". | |
