i saw this movie when i be 15. it just absolutely blew me away . from the amazing acting and to the beautiful score by bob seger and even down to the make up effect . have see picture of the real rocky dennis and the make up job be absolutely dead on . the movie concern rocky dennis . a boy who despite be bear with a disease that have leave his face horribly disfigure and be an extremely intelligent and kind and and outgo young man . rocky live with his mother who be a hard living biker . yet through her trouble she genuinely love her son . there be also gar and a biker who treat rocky a if he be his own son . at the begin the odds be stack against rocky but through love and perseverance and he emerge a an inspiration to all around him . this film be an absolute triumph . however it be a major tear jerker . i think sometimes we need those kind of film and and a reminder that nothing be impossible . that no matter how high the odds be stack one can emerge on top . i really relate to his relationship with gar . i have always consider myself an outsider and but when i be 14 my step dad come into my life and take me a his son despite my flaw and much like gar do with rocky . rocky also fall in love with a blind girl who even though she be blind and she love rocky for who he be . the film be flawless and and the song by bob seger at the end credit be just perfect . i love this film and think everyone should see it . also for the fact that it make u look at ourselves and much like the elephant man do 5 year earlier . instead of u look at how we treat those who be different and it make u look at ourselves in a much different way . that everyman have his burden to carry in life and regardless of if it mental and physical and or spiritual we all do . that appearance mean nothing and beauty be truly in the eye of the beholder and if rocky dennis isn not a shin example of that then nothing be . fair warn however . as wonderful a this film be the rocky dennis face could be frighten to small child . great story with a great message . positive .
