Freaks

The movie "Freaks" is bizarre and unordinary and insanely weird.  Everything about it is weird.  Especially the fact that it was supposed to be a horror movie.  It is actually interesting to watch because there are absolutely no special effects, which was eye opening for me....that people who actually had these problems and insecurities could play themselves in a movie.  But then again, this goes back to the fact that when someone has an extreme difference, the plot is always focused around that difference or disability, as it is in this movie.  there are little people, hermaphrodites, siamese twins, and those who just arent physically "beautiful" in most people's eyes.  though this movie is extremely ridiculous and cheesy, it does bring about many topics and issues that the world of the media today are still facing.
