    “Got confused”?

    Was he spinning it around to hypnotise people, or something? How does a penis confuse people?

    Or is it a poorly phrased statement on the website?

      IIRC, it was because the director thought the audience might think it wasn’t real.

      ive always imagined that test audiences believed it to be a prosthetic and therefore a deliberate creative choice by lars von trier. which is fucking hilarious, because it so thoroughly cheapens the serious arthouse themes he was playing with of like sex and nature and depression if you believe another theme he wanted to showcase was “and the guy has an absolutely monstrous hog”

        True, people with 15” cocks rarely have a reason to be depressed.

      He was spinning it around yes. Video is available online. It’s quite the dangler.

      They thought it was a snake trying to attack them.

      The usual interpretation is the director was trying to move the plot along with things happening during the sex scenes, but the penis was so attention-grabbing that the audience missed the plot points, which made them struggle to follow the rest of the movie (be confused).

      If you replace ‘large’ with ‘small’ the statement makes sense again.

      Maybe he’s got a monster schlong, or maybe someone changes one word for fun. Maybe it’s Maybelline.
