    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    When the Freaks accept Cleopatra (Olga Baclanova) as one of their own, she rejects the invitation and sends them away.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    The genesis of MGM's Freaks was a magazine piece by Ted Robbins titled Spurs. The story involved a terrible revenge enacted by a mean-spirited circus midget upon his normal-sized wife. In adapting Spurs for the screen, writers Willis Goldbeck, Leon Gordon, Edgar Allan Wolf, and Al Boasberg retained the circus setting and the little man-big woman wedding, all the while de-vilifying the midget and transforming the woman into the true "heavy" of the piece. German "little person" Harry Earles plays Hans, who falls in love with long-legged trapeze artist Cleopatra (Olga Baclanova). Discovering that Hans is heir to a fortune, Cleopatra inveigles him into a marriage, all the while planning to bump off her new husband and run away with brutish strongman Hercules (Henry Victor). What she doesn't reckon with is the code of honor among circus freaks: "offend one, offend them all." What set this film apart from director Tod Browning's earlier efforts was the fact that genuine circus and carnival sideshow performers were cast as the freaks: Harry Earles and his equally diminutive sister Daisy, Siamese twins Violet and Daisy Hilton, legless Johnny Eck, armless-legless Randian (who rolls cigarettes with his teeth), androgynous Josephine-Joseph, "pinheads" Schlitzie, Elvira, Jennie Lee Snow, and so on. Upon its initial release, Freaks was greeted with such revulsion from movie-house audiences that MGM spent the next 30 years distancing themselves as far from the project as possible. For many years available only in a truncated reissue version titled Nature's Mistakes, Freaks was eventually restored to its original release print.

    I love this moment. At first, it seems like a happy occasion. They are singing because they accept her as family. But it's her foolish fear and greed that makes her see it differently. In the end, her fear became true, not becaus they revealed their true nature, but because she showed hers.

    as a physically disabled person, much like the actors in this movie, i LOVE this film! its so surprisingly compassionate, and (in some regards) portrays the disabled far better than modern movies. it rarely infantilizes the "freaks" (when a character does, they are portrayed as cruel) instead it portrays us like actual humans; humans who do questionable things, humans who lie, humans who have romantic and sexual desires, humans who are intelligent, *humans who aren't children.* on top of that, this movie gave so many disabled people a chance to make money and to show their skills. that was, and honestly still is, a once in a lifetime chance.
    also, the body horror at the end is SO GOOD

      That's a really interesting and unexpected (fore me) comment. I, too, love this film and besides the terms "freaks" it does not, in any way, denigrate those of us who are different. I agree entirely with your views on it and the people involved. Of course, it is now politically incorrect, but then so is everything. A fantastic original classic film.

Those are some great directors to start with when you're learning more about film, and if I had to reccomend one movie that I think should be seen by every movie buff, it would be Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941).

      You don't focus on the negative aspects of life, you see the positive sides. You were raised to accept all people, even the woman portrayed to be evil / bad in this movie didn't scare you as a kid, as if you knew even she had to have her reasons of how she got to be that way as a person. She wasn't born with hate, she was taught to hate. Another beautiful thing is that sometimes a few born in a negative environment will still do the opposite of how they were brought up, a diamond in the rough :).

    • @christianealshut1123
      @christianealshut1123 Před 5 lety +79

      I think the point of this movie is that it roots for the "freaks" and paints the "beautiful", the "normal" as the true horror. I must say that I was always baffled at Freaks being so badly received it effectively ended Tod Browning's career - after all, the time when it was made was much closer to the time when it was still considered an acceptable pastime to attend freak shows and gawp at the kind of people who are portrayed here.. WhatÄs the difference betweem looking at a freak in a show booth and seing one on the silver screen?
      But then Í thought that perhaps it wasn''t so much the fact that freaks were shown here on screen thatr creeped people out, but the way they weere portrayed...I guess when people went to a freak show - they were able to look at the freak as "the other"; you look at them but you still marginalize them. But Tod Browning's film does not portray the freaks as the other, it portrays them as people like you and me, with the same feelings and desires and with an "honor code" of their own. (I think there is one scene where the lady cares for the freaks at the circus says something like "They're just children.") So if the freaks in this movie are like us, then we are also a little bit like them. They're not the others, they can't be marginalized, at least not to the same degree- but at least the audience of this movie is made to feel less justified about it. They are not left with a guilty-pleasure "frisson", but with a gnawing feeling because to some extent, they also identify with Cleopatra's attitude and they suddenly have an idea that she is not what they should be like.
      So I think that people were just p***ed off at having held a mirror up toi them and that this was why Freaks was so universally disliked. Plus, probably the studio made a big mistake in the way they marketed this movie - probably it was being advertised as a horror picture on account of Browning having turned in just that about a year before that with "Dracula", and that strategy might have totally backfired.

    What an incredible movie, I just found out about it 2 days ago.
    "What Browning and his crew discovered was that, typically, each sideshow has one genuinely deformed performer, such as conjoined twins, a bearded lady, pinheads, etc. All the rest are “normal” people in costume as padding for the authentic main event. But when Browning chose a whole cast’s worth of true freaks, he found each one was accustomed to being the star of their show, and thus each one behaved like a prima donna on set.
    Rather than forming a bond from their shared maladies during production, their egos clashed. Browning told a reporter later that the freaks’ “professional jealousy was amazing. Not one of them had a good word for the other.” They were proud and vain, more aghast by the other freaks’ physical maladies than their own. Several began wearing sunglasses and acting like movie stars, although most would never appear on celluloid again."

    Truly a sensational film! But so different from the original concept. Urged by Irving Thalberg, the story was revised from the original source by Goldbeck. I can’t believe Mayer approved this! LOL but then again… Tod browning was riding on the highly successful Dracula bandwagon!
    For his homecoming project , Irving Thalberg offered Browning a sumptuous , star - studded mystery film : Arsène Lupin , based on the play by Maurice Leblanc and Francis de Croisset about a master thief and the detective who outwits him . The production would bring together , for the first time and with considerable hoopla , John and Lionel Barrymore in the leading roles . But on June 8 , 1931 , the day after the commencement of his new contract with M - G - M , Browning notified the studio that he was not enthusiastic about Arsène Lupin and would rather develop the Tod Robbins short story " Spurs , " which he had convinced Metro to purchase several years earlier for $ 8,000 . A revenge story set in a circus and centering on a midget , the tale had a natural part for the actor Harry Earles , who had made an unforgettable impression in The Unholy Three . Earles , in fact , had first brought the story to Browning's attention . in Robbins ' original story , first published in Munsey's Magazine in February 1923 , was set in a small traveling circus in France . The troupe's midget , Jacques Courbé , falls hopelessly in love with the company's bareback rider , Jeanne Marie , who accepts his proposal only because she has learned of his recent large inheritance . Her real lover is her partner , Simon LaFleur , whom she plans to wed after Jacques ' death - she believes that midgets age and die much more rapidly than do normal people and that her wait will be mercifully brief.
    During the feast , the drunken Jeanne Marie insults her diminu tive bridegroom , declaring loudly that she could carry her " little ape " on her shoulders from one end of France the other . A year passes , during which Jeanne Marie and her strong man are sepa rated from one another , Jacques having retired from the circus and taken his wife to live on his large inherited estate . One day , Simon is startled to find a haggard and barely recognizable Jeanne Marie standing before his wagon door . The woman pleads with him to protect her from her midget husband , explaining that he has never forgiven her the cruel comment about carrying him on her shoulders . He has , in fact , taken her at her word . A virtual prisoner , guarded by a vicious wolfhound named St. Eustache , she has been forced daily to carry Jacques from dawn to dusk down the lonely country roads , slowly working off the equivalent of " one end of France to the other . " " " As Jeanne Marie concludes her woeful tale , Jacques himself enters the wagon , mounted on his canine steed St. Eustache and carrying a tiny sword . Simon tries to prevent the midget from re claiming Jeanne Marie , but he is overpowered by the dog . Pinned to the floor by the powerful animal , Simon is silently dispatched by Jacques ' penetrating blade . Jeanne , completely humbled and resigned to her fate , places her little mate on her shoulders and weakly trudges off in the direction of their home . They are spotted in the distance by the circus owner , who is astonished : " ' Can it be ? ' he murmured . ' Yes , it is ! Three old friends ! And so Jeanne Marie still carries him ! Ah , but she should not poke fun at M. Jacques Courbé ! He is so sensitive ; but alas , they are the kind that are always henpecked ! "
