1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die (1930's) (83 movies items)

" Notes: I have to admit that I was quite blown away by the damned thing. Seriously, I had never seen anything like this before and, while watching this movie, I was really wondering why they never made more movies about this subject. The problem, if they would make a similar movie nowadays, if it would be fake, it wouldn’t really work but, if it would be for real, then most people would be probably outraged by the damned thing.

Freaks

“Freaks was Tod Browning’s passion project. His earliest work on the project can be traced back to 1927, and it’s something of a miracle it got made at all.

"1.2 Ymmärrän hyvin kaiken sen kohun, mitä tämä elokuva ilmestymisvuonnaan aiheutti. Vastoin aikalaisten yleisiä odotuksia, kyseessä on oikeasti ajatuksia herättävä, reilusti aikaansa edellä oleva kauhuelokuva. Elokuva siitä, miten sirkuksen kummajaiset ovat nekin vain ihmisiä. Loppukohtaus, jossa kummajaiset ryömivät kaatosateessa on yksinkertaisuudessaan hyytävä kohtaus. Jalaton ja kädetön Randian vei ylivoimaisesti voiton mielenkiintoisesta kokoonpanosta tupakansytytystempu"
