For the uninitiated
“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.
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”
There are images on the internet of his penis. It’s not “confusingly large,” I don’t think. He’s just one of those guys that tends to hang large and low. A shower rather than a grower, as they say.
