That sounds like a rumor that William started.

"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?

[–] Lyrl@lemm.ee 10 points 23 hours ago

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).

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"

Can't be depressed with a dong the size of a semi truck. Lol

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 64 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I find the video itself confusing. https://vimeo.com/49333930

Don’t leave it hanging

This link used to work when Reddit used to work. Can't vouch for it now.

Imgur took it down D:

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 27 points 1 day ago

Maybe they meant "concussed?"

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They thought it was a snake trying to attack them.

Does that make Willem the Lisan Al Gaib?

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

Helicopter goes brrrrr

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

... he's got a monster dong. There are videos of it flaccid and it is... massive.

It seems pretty much in the range of normal to me, idk.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, I agree that it looks pretty normal. Maybe if it grows considerably more when he's aroused, it would be in the above average range, but that's well below most of what you see in porn.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

When people skip straight past arousal and fear to confusion.

"Put that eldritch horror away."

Me witnessing horrors beyond my comprehension

(I don't get it)

Wait, 👀 for real?

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

That’s horrifying.
