So, that was the end of the real movie, or just a segment from it? What did she put in the drink? It didn't do anything to anyone. I couldn't understand what she was yelling at that little kid, or what she was talking about.
That was the middle of the movie. That wasn't a little kid, that was her husband who she just married. If you want to know what happened I suggest you see the movie.
Wow, that was very much interesting. This definatly seems like it would be an extremely significant film. It doesn't suprise me that at the time it was thought of as strange, however now adays we can plainly see that such a film was definatly progressive.
I like the clever symoblism of the film. The fact that they made the regular people evil for looking on the disabled with such blatant discust is pure genius. A film that was obviously cultured far past it's time.
This movie was BANNED FOR 40 years, it was finally released on dvd not long ago. it is ok, its supposed to be horror but its not scary..just plain disturbing.
The movie was not banned for 40 years. Its deformed cast was shocking to moviegoers of the time; the film was only banned in the United Kingdom for 30 years.
In 1994, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
imagine yourself standing there with a table full of deformed people all laughing and chanting "gooble gobble, we accept her, we accept her, one of us, one of us..." over and over!!! This was kinda disturbing.
what is this?... a video of your mom? lol i keed, i keed, this is the kind of stuff nightmares are made of. And this freaked me out ... chicks shaved their armpits back in the '40s ? that's like way back, i didn't know cavemen were that evolved lol
In the film, the physically deformed "freaks" are inherently trusting and honorable people, while the real monsters are two of the "normal" members of the circus who conspire to murder one of the performers to obtain his large inheritance.
lol no, Were you awake in history class??? The movie is written to take place in the 30's but was filmed in the late 40's or early 50's....plus it would have been impossible for them to have filmed in in the 30's....They came up with the idea for a television in the 20's but the first working television was invented in 37.....thankyou very much!!!
The movie was adapted by Al Boasberg, Willis Goldbeck, Leon Gordon, and Edgar Allan Woolf from the short story Spurs by Tod Robbins. Director Tod Browning, famed at the time for his collaborations with Lon Chaney and for directing Bela Lugosi in Dracula (1931), took the exceptional step of casting real people with deformities as the eponymous sideshow "freaks," rather than using costumes and makeup.
Freaks was a very artistic movie. Except the ending was eerie. And the original ending was banned. The whole movie is on Google Video, and is actually, as I SAID LAWLS...no but seriously. It was great.
Usually for movies this old you can't find it them, but production information always leaks out explaining stuff like alternate endings, scenes removed, etc; especially when the actors get interviewed years after.
The carnies were a way for them to make money and form their own families. My mom remembers seeing the two Pinhead sisters Elvira and Jenny Lee Snow back in the 30's at Coney Island and crying while my uncle yelled at her, "I took you here to have a good time."
Elvira and Jenny Lee Snow seem to be so happy. They are like the essence of humanity. If we could only all be happy like they seem to have been, what a world it would be. I just hope that their brother loved them, and even though he 'exhibited' them, that he treated them with brotherly love and compassion.
That fellow is the actor Harry Earles, born in 1902 in Germany. He passed on in 1985. He was thirty years old when this film was made. He and his sister Daisy were in 'The Wizard of Oz' as Munchkins. He and his four sisters were also in the Wringling Bros circus for decades. They retired in the fifties.
Oops, I meant three sisters. They were a four person brother/sisters act of Harry (born Karl), Daisy (born Hilda), Grace (born Frieda), Tiny (born Elly). Note that they all changed their German birth names to Anglicized names. Perhaps this was due to the rancor over WW1 and later WWII. There was a lot of anti-German sentiment in the USA that in each case took a couple of decades to diminish. The Germans neutralized many of those feelings by adapting to American culture and becoming American.
It is an amazing movie, it shows the highs and the lows of humanity. Anyone who watches this without a sadness and a smile at the same time, I feel sorry for.
I want to watch it too...I find that clip fascinating. Does anyone remember the "gooble goble one of us" in a SouthPark episode? Creepy...yet interesting.
Wow! After seeing this i'm going to buy the movie. I want to see the whole thing. I found it under "Freaks", Tod Browning 1932. The little guy on the table with the glass was "master" in mad max beyond thunderdome.
Love Slitze :D

We are scared of the unknown. The truth, the so called "freaks" showed the most humanity in the movie while the "normal" people were the villains.
