There are brief shots of dead soldiers in the aftermath of war violence but there is no gory detail. Archival imagery features newsreel footage from the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas, and the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles, including pooled blood beneath his head.

There is verbal reference to a mother striking her daughter and discussion of the impact of this upon the person. In another sequence a voiceover explains that a husband verbally abused his wife following a bereavement, but the detail is minimal. Archival footage includes real war violence and there are multiple references to nuclear war, e.g. a mushroom cloud following a bomb detonation, however these sequences are brief and do not feature graphic detail.
