A piece of art just showing genitalia is not in itself sinful. Also, simply seeing that in a film is not sinful by itself. Unless the film was pornographic (sounds like it wasn’t), then you didn’t commit any sin here. You weren’t watching the film for any sexual reasons and the scene you’re describing sound more like some kind of comedy or action piece. There was no sin here, nudity alone is not sinful in all circumstances.

As for “the action afterwards”, I just meant that you did nothing with the scene. You didn’t dwell on it, you didn’t have any sinful thoughts about it as far as I can tell. There is nothing wrong with you worrying that something was sinful, and you are doing something good by scheduling an appointment to discuss scrupulosity with your director. But in this particular case, I don’t see any sin.

Thanks it just recently I’ve been developing my understanding in faith as I want to make my conformation soon and I’ve stumbled across somethings and realised i’m quite scrupulous and I know about the Lust and various other things but I wasn’t sure if simply by seeing nudity it counted as lust or something else sinful

Don’t worry, as you grow in the faith, things will become clearer for you. It is good that you are taking the time to figure these things out! Nudity does have to be controlled very closely in media, but it isn’t always lustful or anything. It all depends on how it is used and the intent of the person viewing it. But I think you’re fine this time.

I never got around to thanking you about this I talked to my priest about scrupulosity and he has put my mind at ease but I know it will still be a bit of time before I can fully relax, I was wondering if you could aid me with this also.
I got a link from a friend it was a youtube link so I thought nothing of it, he simply said this is why I love Denmark, upon clicking the link I saw two little boys banging on a drum thought ok 2 kids rocking out on a drum, then it panned to a hut in which a figure came out wearing a skirt it turned out to be a little girl I would say she was quite young age appeared she was about to dance, I realised she wasn’t wearing anything on her top half and paused the video asked what is this and he said it is hilarious I’m guessing something funny happened but I clicked off the video.
I mean I’m still slightly confused about nudity and such in films I mean does that count as nudity, I may have lingered on the image but I feel I only did so as at first I honestly could not tell if it was even a boy or a girl once I realised it was a girl with no top half, video paused, asked what is this, then closed the video.
I am still slightly stressing out but if you could reply that’ll be great:thumbsup:

added note, I must say the film looked fairly old perhaps when this sort of stuff was ok in films, like one of those old films like the type made around 1960’s just wondering if you could respond that would be great.
