i never really thought about this type of things in movies (well apart from the whole Disney thing a few years back) until i read up on Vertigo and Hitchcock said Coit Tower was a phallic symbol for Scotty and his apartment, etc.....maybe jokingly, but who knows?
but anywho, you may think this is dumb, but it seems obvious and i wondered if anyone else ever thought this.
the playground scene with Blume and Miss Cross.....the slide?

The train going into the tunnel at the end of "North By Northwest" is one too.
the shuttle taking off in apollo 13 may be one as well
the penises drawn on the wall in a clockwork orange are as well.
And Dirk Diggler's penis.
I hear the monolith may be one in 2001, even though Kubrick wanted a big black sphere initially.
brett ratner.
^^^^ that takes the cake, i think
haha, yeah
i figured this would get no honest replies, except for the North by Northwest one that i did know about, but forgot to mention.
just watch the scene.
seriously.
i'm serious.
seriously.
I know exactly what you're talking about. Yes, it's a phallic symbol. The big slide shute thing in the background.
Lord, even the most innocent scenes have to have dick humor in it.
Has all the world gone the way of Kevin Smith?
what about the montage of male phallic symbols during the sex scene in naked gun 2 1/2: the smell of fear???

did you read Anderson or someone involved with the picture mention it.........or are you thinking it's just too obvious to not be?
Too obvious. I noticed it in the theater when I first saw it.
Don't forget the castle in The Little Mermaid...representing Ariel's desire for human intercourse.
all disney movies possess so much sexual subtext.
that's because Disney has bored perverted overseas animators working for them.
I don't think many Americans know how to do perverted subtley.
Wes Anderson now discluded from that list.

We don't do that kind of perverted smut here at XIXAX. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go stare at the Banky's _____________ thread.
You're gonna make everything vertical a phallic symbol. Btw, this can above, has also bigger vertical dimension...Ravi, what did you want to say with it? :P
