The video seemed as if they were heroic and that they were in the right but in the reading it felt more like Odysseus was in the wrong for trespassing on the giants land. I think that the video also didn't depict the interaction between Odysseus and Athena seemed to be skipped over. The important role that Athena played in the escape of Odysseus. Also they seemed to gloss over the fact that many of Odysseus' crew died in the cave because they were eaten by the giant.
