that genital scene is totally unnecessary


I was gonna show this film in my school film club, but my teacher won't let me do it because of that scene

It is a penis. Get over it. Half of the world has one. Plus, it is a little boy. It is not being stroked or even erect. He is just walking along being natural without clothing. Get off your ridiculous high horse and get back to reality. All I can say is that you must be American to hold such a ridiculous viewpoint.

Thank you to ishildobie for posting a reply..
As I was browsing through the index of comments and saw the title of this one I went "What? Have I missed something.. do I have a cut version? Is there a comment on FGM in there I blinked and missed?"
No, none of the above, I'd been suckered into looking at a sensationalist post.
So thank you for explaining what our OP was on about.
The only thing is, both you and I have added the dignity of a response to the (intentionally) eye catching headline, when probably our best response should have been the good old standby of 'Don't feed the Troll'
