Today in class we watched the beginning of the movie freaks. I thought that it was a really good display of how cruel people can be sometime in order to get what they want. When the beautiful women started to use the midget for his money it shows how greedy she is and truly cruel, she will be to get what she wants. Also something that made me really upset and kind of confused as to why he did was when the big guy punched the half man half women in the face. I understand it was because he was them kissing, but I don't understand why he had to punch they person in the face. Once again it shows how truly cruel people can be for no reason. This move somewhat reminds me of how sometime teenagers can act. They can be vicious for no reason to someone who is different either to hide the fact that they insecure, or to get a laugh. I am really looking forward to watching the rest on Wednesday.

Wonderful! I'm glad you're enjoying the movie so far (films like this can be hit or miss). The movie certainly does tap into our insecurities/fears of difference and the arbitrary nature of such things. I look forward to showing the rest of it to you.
