Mask
If inner beauty were important Miss America would have a colonoscopy portion of the show.
That is why the deformed student in this drama is having a hard time fitting in.
Born with cranial disfigurement Rocky Dennis (Eric Stoltz) wasn't expected to survive. But with the love of his mother (Cher) and her biker gang, Rocky proved medical science wrong. And he'll do it again as his enter junior high.
While students initially react poorly to his appearance, Rocky wins them and his teachers over with his humour and intellect. However, his health and his mom's addictions undermine his scholastic achievements.
With believable performances, a touching script and remarkable make-up, this true story doesn't pander to the public to get its point of accepting others across. Hopeful, without being pretentious or exploitative, Mask is a bonafide tearjerker.
Incidentally, facial disfigurement and scientific brilliance are the leading cause of super-villainy among teenagers. Green Light
