Before watching "X-Men" and "American Horror Story Season Three: Witch Rally", now watching "Freaks" I feel a kind of estrangement between marginalized people in society. Mutants are excluded from society and are only educated in mutant schools; witches are hung up and burned to death, and they can only study alone in school; deformed people are more miserable, probably more realistic, and they can only stay in In the circus, do some interesting performances for entertainment.
Yes, in the circus, they became entertainment. If you walk on the street, I am afraid that others will be scared.
For example, in the scene in the movie, the old lady taking care of the deformed people was playing in the forest with the deformed people and was seen by others. The old lady said, if I had a chance, I would really like to take them to the sun openly and let them play like a child. In fact, most of them are still children.
But the old lady also told the deformed people, don’t be afraid, God will take care of everyone.
Or as Gaga sang in "Born This Way", There ain't no other way. Baby I was born this way.—It's not that there is no other way to go, but that I am. I was born this way, and that is how God created me.
In the "Born This Way" MV, Gaga's face and shoulders are angular. In fact, each of us has our own edges and corners in society, but most people have very small edges and corners that others can accept, and those with sharp edges like ours and greatly different from others are called Freak.
This is probably why most homosexuals like to be with homosexual insiders. Because in this group, we are equal. In this circle, it seems to each other that no one is Freak.
You see in the circus, normal people performing swings will look down on those dwarfs, saying that they are deformed, dirty,...not to mention people outside the circus?
If one day, people who are not the same as most people like the disabled, dwarves, homosexuals, etc., do not watch with curiosity, and can give them the same educational opportunities and job opportunities (several friends Tell me, their industry can't come out), probably this society is really full of love.
