Boyle and Garland have, in their dotage, outdone themselves. The first film was good, the second almost entirely forgettable, but this third act, wow, fucking fantastic. “28 Swinging Cocks”, “28 Inch Cock” or “28 Dicks Later”, any could have been apt titles, but that’s too easy. This is the movie in which the anatomy is riotous, the intellect unashamed, the heart unexpectedly exposed.

    Do you live in North America?

    In general, I think full male nudity is still jarring to US audiences because historically speaking, it’s not super common in movies and tv shows outside of pornographic settings. Though it does seem like it’s becoming a lot more common in recent history.

    Also, as is the case with that one particular penis you’re asking about, a lot of times when full frontal male nudity is shown in a movie or tv show, it’s done for “shock value”.

    Full frontal male nudity is something that most viewers will notice no matter what because at the end of the day it’s genitals and we’re mostly all just wired that way. However, aside from that one penis, the rest of the male nudity in the movie was not prominently featured and was otherwise pretty unremarkable. Definitely wouldn’t have garnered much of any discussion, relative to some of the other shocking stuff in the movie.

      No, I’m from Australia, which I always considered to be a pretty conservative country with regards to nudity. I think we have been more inconsistent with that than the USA though.
