The movie “Freaks” portrayed the lives of a group of people
usually not featured in film, especially in a positively portrayed way. Throughout
the movie we are shown the lives of these “freaks” in a normal setting almost
getting to know them as people instead of just defining them by their
appearance. Towards the end we saw how the freaks got together in what some
would call them showing their true colors when they attacked the others.
However as we discussed in class I felt there uniting against Cleopatra was
more a sense of community and protection than it was a portrayal of their
disfigured fearful way of life. They were protecting the people they cared
about like any good human being would, if anything they were portraying the
best qualities of human being better than many human beings do.
