CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When Mr. Simms (Ben Piazza) tries to prevent Rocky (Eric Stoltz) from registering at his school, Rusty (Cher) plays hardball.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
This is the true story of Rocky Dennis (Eric Stoltz), a personable young man suffering from "lionitis," a fatal disease which causes hideous facial disfigurement. The son of freewheeling biker Rusty Dennis (Cher), Rocky is accepted without question by his mom's boyfriends and cycle buddies, but treated with pity, condescension, and disgust by much of the outside world. The local high school principal tries to get Rocky classified as brain-damaged so he won't have to enroll the boy in his school, but Rusty fights for her son's rights with the ferocity of a mother lioness. Rocky makes friends easily both at school and at summer camp. He also falls in love with Diana (Laura Dern), a blind girl who cannot see his deformed countenance and is entranced by the boy's kindness and compassion. Now that he's got his own life in order, Rocky sets about to wean his chronically depressed mother from her drug habit. Mask is the sort of story that might have ending up wallowing in its own pathos had the acting, direction and scriptwriting (by Anna Hamilton Phelan) been anything less than very good. The film proved a much-needed financial success for director Peter Bogdanovich, though unfortunately it didn't come soon enough to stave off his declaring personal bankruptcy.

And...he smiled back, a smile so beautiful, you swore you were looking at an angel. Outward appearence means nothin. Heck, Ive known pretty people who sucked at being human...totally hidious radiates to the outside and covers up any beauty that is there, just as a good soul, covers up anything others may feel is not attractive.

[@brianpeck4035]

Physical beauty has been a curse for so many. They are treated with favor not for their choices but for something that has little to do with them...their surface. The desire for acceptance and status draws them into the shallows where they are in real danger of getting stuck. I think they hate themselves for it but can't help it so they hate others instead.

Cher related a story that she was in a theater just before Mask came out. A trailer for it showed in the theater. When Cher's name showed on screen, the audience laughed. Cher was still known as a singer, and her glory days were thought to be over. She started crying as she sat. When Mask did come out, she blew everyone away with her performance, and it started her second career as a respected actress.

[@misslb4800]

Sorry but you got the movie wrong. The trailer everyone laughed at was the one for Silkwood, not Mask. Silkwood was made before Mask, and apart from Cher it starred Meryl Streep and Kurt Russel. People cheered at their named but laughed at Cher's name.😎

Damn I wished that Cher was MY MOM after watching this scene. Such an underrated movie. So good. And Eric Stolz was underrated too for this role. He did an EXCELLENT job.

Cher is a phenomenal actress
