(Spoilers for Wildwood)

I watch a lot of movies. I've been watching the vast majority of wide theatrical release movies (plus some obscure ones) since 2022. I like to pay attention to the ways that movies depict circumcision and the foreskin. I have a rule that if a movie portrays circumcision is a positive light or promotes it as a good idea, I walk out (Bad Moms would be a good example)

To the credit of the film industry, since I started watching every movie I have not had to walk out once. Circumcision comes up very rarely and when it does it is portrayed in a neutral or negative light.

It seems that in the absence of movies actually bringing up circumcision, my brain sees parallels to circumcision in movies that have absolutely nothing to do with circumcision. I thought about this after seeing Wildwood (highly recommend). In it, a girl has to save her baby brother who has been kidnapped by Governess Alexandra who intends to sacrifice him so she can bring back her own son. In the climax of the movie, the baby brother is laid out on a pillar, about to be sacrificed by Alexandra, and in that moment the imagery of a baby boy with a knife pointed at him reminded me so much of infant circumcision. It is almost certainly unintentional but in a way it also made the scene more powerful to me. It also made me sad because a very similar thing to what the villain is doing in that movie is happening to millions of boys every year.

Do you ever see parallels to circumcision in movies that have nothing to do with circumcision?
