Freaks

The penultimate post of the blog for this year has finally made it to fooltheeyefoolthebrain.
Freaks (1932) PosterOnce again i was not responsible for Freaks ending up on the list but it ended up being the second last film that i watched over the year so now i have to post about it.

For those that have absolutely no idea what the film is, it is a black and white film about people that are deformed (hence the title). It shows a very accurate representation of the way that society used to treat people that were considered to be slightly different.

A Circus woman and the star of the show apparently falls in love with a young man who is very small but then it is later discovered that she is only doing it for his inheritance.

To start with it is told in a flashback, kinda like 'let me take you back twenty years' or very similar to the opening of 'The Phantom Of The Opera' if anyone reading this has seen that. The camera moves with the narrator and i am glad to say that it manages to stay stable and there are no feelings of sea sickness in the film.
People say that it is harder to really judge and i guess enjoy the acting in black and white but i think that it shows true quality. I'll be honest and say that i can't name anyone in that film bu because there is nothing that immediately sparks the eye and draws interest, the audience had to be captured by the acting abilities.

The nature of the film makes it difficult to enjoy, it is more of a film that moves you but it doesn't spark that happiness that you would find from certain films.

Anyway- the last one (if i can find it) is The  Amazing Spider-man.
I know that if you have been following then you would know that there are a few films that i haven't reviewed but that is due to not actually being able to find them!

See you all next time!
