I just find it a bit disturbing how they have people with actual disabilities acting weird and saying 'gooble gobble' :s-smilie: Remind me never to watch that film :colonhash:


It's actually a pretty good film, I saw it years ago though so I may remember it wrong. That's just a really famous scene from it :redface:

It just looks a bit too creepy for my liking >_<

I am vaguely aware of the scene's existence. Simpsons did their own version of it >_>

The films pretty primitive in it's attitude to people with disabilities in films, the producers clear thought in portraying the disabled people as the good guys in the end they would deal with any issues about them however failed to take into account showing them as circus freaks in the literal sense of the film arch but also that they were using the disabled people as circus freaks for the audience to watch in the cinema, rather than portraying the normality of people with disabilities and how they could be integrated into society, in that sense it's an extremely bigoted and unfair film.

I guess it is an example of ableism. But such circus' did exist where they had 'freaks' on display during that era. Therefore the film was portraying what was only the norm in that environment. It is merely a reflection of society rather than the film director.
It is like Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and the books profuse usage of the 'N word'. It is not that Mark Twain was racist, but that the book was a reflection of the society.
