    It's more absurd than horror. In 1932, people were so honest and hoped that deformed people could get the same love as ordinary people, which is unimaginable. In the end, the woman's fate can't help but make people feel a little sympathetic, she is just a little more tactful, and she is too...

    I came here for curiosity, and it turned out that I was really low-level. Character characterization, humanistic care, revenge scene in a rainy night, a masterpiece that can stand the test of...

    Able-bodied people cannot escape the greed and shamelessness in their hearts, but deformed people are not necessarily kind and noble. This is what it means to be born equal, and life is full of pain. . ....

    A score of 8.2 is actually a normal movie, but it was shocking at the time. It was a story about Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian who wanted to murder Wu Dalang and was counter-killed. There wasn't much to shoot, so it only took an hour to shoot. The theme of the movie is very simple, nothing more than not to discriminate against people with abnormal body, but how many people can really do...

    The last scene where the freak kills Hercules is very good! Tsk tsk, you see, those freaks are just as pure and kind as the Na'vi, but treat them as human beings, and they'll make you die...

    First off, despise everyone who sees this movie as a horror or cult movie. Then, I don’t want to sympathize with those freaks too much. After all, physical deformities are hard not to cause psychological deformities, but some normal people also show psychological deformities, and the ones shown in the film are definitely the mildest deformities. It seems that it can only be blamed on this freak society. Finally, the shot of chasing in the rain is so...

    Calling it a classic might not be very appropriate, but it's definitely a cult, and it's the ancestor of the cult. Aside from the point of view of the "ancestor of cult films", the spiritual core and narrative methods of its stories are not only ahead of their time in 1932, but also look completely outdated today. In fact, isn't today's Avatar just a brighter version of a freak with a lot of embellishments? Not a bad...

    8.8/10. ①As written in the introduction: The scheming girl seduces the dwarf man to try to make money and kill him, but fails and angers the deformed people by their revenge (and the HE where the dwarf man returns to the dwarf woman), and each deformed person in the first half of the paragraph branch of life. ②The "weird feeling" that the movie is always in search of curiosity (source: actors who are all real deformed people [dwarfs, conjoined sisters, intersex people, halflings, cerebellum,...

    The ending is a bit exciting. It looks like Yu Hua is a real person. Oh, is the director such a good...

    To be honest, freaks make me really uncomfortable! But the rhythm of this black-and-white film is well grasped, and in the final paragraph of the revenge of the freaks, I really feel their anger and terror from the camera, and the atmosphere is quite good; in the end, the good acting skills of these deformed actors with rich backgrounds are really good for the film. Added a lot of bright spots; the only thing that doesn't buy the director's account is that a bad woman turns into a bird woman, I...

    God loves every one of his children

    The first film review, with spoilers and caution. Although it is a black-and-white movie from the 1940s, the storyline is fairly complete. The actors in the film are really deformed people, which makes the film more practical. The life that God gives to everyone is the same and fair, and physical...

  • Carnival Barker: We didn't lie to you folks. We told you we had living, breathing, monstrosities. You laughed at them, shuddered at them. And, yet, but for the accident of birth, you might be one as they are. They did not ask to be brought into the world. But, into the world they came. Their code is a law unto themselves: offend one and you offend them all.
