Movie Connections:

Remake of Freaks (1932)

It's Not That Bad, I Enjoyed It.

Come on, it's not so bad. I enjoyed the movie, sure there were a few scenes I did not agree with but I got over it. After talking to friends and reading Veekay Yolose's comment I realized that Veekay Yolose was correct. People do not have a problem with this kind of movies a long as the freaks are fakes done up with make up or special effects, but when the freaks are real as they are in Freaks (1932) and Freakshow (2007) that when people have problem. Some people like to see "freaks" and are fascinated by their accomplishments and human spirits; others see the "freaks" as just curiosities to be laughed at; and there's the ones who are scared to death of "freaks" or anything or anyone who is so different or handicapped. And this are the people who write angry comments about this movie. So like some one else said before "give them a break"
