Tom Wilkinson's Magical Schlong


Has anyone else noticed that the very last shot of the movie there's a huge bright light that appears between Gerald's legs hen he tosses his hat away? It looks deliberate, as if his manhood as a little too visible from behind. Either that or his penis has super powers that blind audiences everywhere!

When a cold momma gets hot, boy how she sizzles!

It was just a lucky coincidence. Is it not Robert Carlyle though?

I was sure it was Tom W, but I can't find a youtube clip and I don't have a copy of the movie. If anyone can confirm?

Just seen it and noticed it too, it is definitely Tom W.
The light was definitely added afterwards and only that specific light turns on exactly as he turns around.

It may have been a reference to the two earlier conversations where Gerald confesses that there have been times when he has trouble controlling his erection, such as when he was in school and was at the pool with lots of girls around. He was afraid that when they stripped that he would get excited, and maybe the light is a suggestion that he did. I just watched this again last night, and had never paid much attention to that plot point before, but it makes sense that the light could represent that.

Didn't really notice. Wasn't looking. Tom is a big guy though.
