Editorial Review:

Description:
Directed by Peter Bogdanovich, the moving and inspirational drama Mask, starring Cher, Eric Stoltz and Sam Elliott, is the extraordinary award-winning film based on the real-life story of Rocky Dennis, a disfigured teenager who overcomes pain, loneliness and prejudice through fierce determination, emerging as an outstanding young man and an inspiration to his classmates and teachers.

The Mask DVD includes the Directors Cut of the film, and as a special bonus, the original Bruce Springsteen soundtrack, which was created for the film but never released in theaters. It contains several of his top hits, such as 'Badlands,' 'Thunder Road' and 'Born in the USA.

Amazon.com essential video:
Peter Bogdanovich directed this sensitive and moving story about a teenage boy, Rocky (Eric Stoltz), who lives with severe facial deformities and poor prognosis for survival beyond childhood. The film concentrates on that threshold-of-adulthood period familiar to past and present 16-year-olds, folding together common experiences of youth (love, hassles with mom, a desire to travel) with the special burdens endured by the hero. Stoltz, absolutely unrecognizable under lots and lots of prosthetic makeup, is quite good, as are Cher (as Rocky's mother) and Sam Elliott (Rocky's father figure). More than a tearjerker, the film is a genuine celebration of all that is most precious in life, even more to those who have nothing to take for granted. --Tom Keogh

- A truly inspirational story...
`Mask' is the type of film that moves you to tears. It is genuinely sweet and sincere and heartbreaking as well as heartwarming. It is true that the film can, at times, feel forced and manipulative, but who doesn't like having their feelings manipulated in this manner. The true story of Rocky Dennis is inspirational and poignant and one that we all should take to heart; and `Mask' gives us the opportunity to do just that.

The film recounts the final year of Rocky's life. Growing up with a rare disease (craniodiaphyseal dysplasia) was not easy for Rocky, but with the support from his very strong and very loving mother Rusty, Rocky was able to make it through. Teased by other kids and humiliated by teachers, Rocky learned at a young age to form a thick skin, and his mother's defensive and free-spirited attitude helped Rocky to realize that he was no different than anyone else and thus didn't deserve ...

this movie i have seen many years ago and to me is a very touching movie i feel this movie teaches you everyday lessons like no matter what you look like it's what inside that counts your heart. the movie showed where rocky had a girlfriend at camp and he went to where she lived at to see her but the girl's parents treated rocky like dirt this movie is fanastic in it's own rights! i give this movie a ton of stars!

- Happy Halloween: Take off your mask
There's a scene where the horribly facially deformed Rocky is verbally accosted in the hallway at his highschool by another student who tells him to take off his mask. Rocky grabs this other teenager and slams him against the lockers replying, "I'll take of my mask when you take off yours" and that's one of the coolest lines I ever heard in a movie.

If you have a narcissistic or low self-esteem person in your life or anybody that feels sorry for themself too much have them watch MASK (not THE MASK). The acting is great. Cher is Rocky's mother, Sam Elliot is Cher's biker boyfriend and Eric Stoltz is Rocky. Peter Bogdanovich directed. In the film a poem written by the real-life Rocky is read:

These things are good:
Ice cream and cake,
A ride on a Harley,
Seeing monkeys on a tree,
The rain on my tongue,
And the sun shining on my face.

These things are ... Read More
