when rocky read his poem "these things are good, these things are a drag" I BURST into tears. And continued bursting throughout the movie. It just cut me in half. Eric Stoltz deserved an Oscar.

Love this movie! Rocky Dennis had a great sense of humor, he would go to grocery stores to scare customers and he played a joke on my Aunt, and scared her at Covina Farms grocery store in Covina CA this was in the 70's

[@cindywright4989]

Rocky used to push my son then three years old around the parking lot at Ralph’s in Glendora while I shopped. What a friendly young man he was. In later years my younger son spent time at Camp Bloomfield a camp for the visually impaired with Rocky. It was great to see Rocky again, he passed away soon after. We were blessed to know him.

[@cfhcowboy9292]

Yup

[@beckyboo1433]

Yes, perfect song. I love Bob Seger so naturally I thought the soundtrack was great 😃

[@tonyaperry4763]

Sad thing is Rocky didn't even know Bob Segar. The music was suppose to have been Springsteen's music. But was more expensive to use.

[@MM-ig1iv]

The newer remastered version is all Bruce Springsteen.. I think the only Bob Seger song in this new version is Cat man due. I liked the Bob version better though.

Great Movie! I always remember the scene of Rocky explaining colors to his blind love interest played by Laura Dern.

[@kaleoy7584]

Thanks for doing this! I mentioned a few months ago about Rocky Dennis in one of your video comment section. I've watched *Mask* almost once every few years. Very touching movie. Side note: Cher should have won an Oscar for her performance of Rusty.

Was the cemetery scene done in areal cemetery or in a park to make it appear so?

Laura Dern was also in "Mask", as Diana, the blind girl Rocky falls in love with.

[@jmcg9443]

It's wonderful that this movie was made in the raw way that it was; film can teach you so much and give you the insight into someone else's world that wouldn't be possible otherwise. Super job matching up the scenes to the locations as they are today.

[@Ricki_Raquel]

This is too cool! 1)My mom grew up with the real Rocky Dennis in Azusa. Their families were pretty close. 2)I live in Monrovia.

[@rebecca75588]

I lived there during that time too but moved farther up north like roys mother did Azusa has changed a bit but still has a community feel to it

@@colleenhoperue5538 Well, my mom's older sister was best friend's with Rocky's aunt. Rocky and my mom spent a lot of time together, but they weren't exactly friends. More like family. My mom would get really mad at Rocky. My mom says no one ever talks about what a little sh!t he could be. Haha.

The MASK was a great movie. I watched it in the 80's as well. It's a sad story. I think many people have forgotten about this movie. Thanks Jordan for sharing the story of the movie. Great leg work finding the shots from the film. I agree, not normally a Cher fan, but she was fantastic in this movie. It has been a while since I have seen it, may have to go back and watch it again.

LOVE this movie! When it came out, my brother was a co-manager in a movie theater, so I got to get in free----saw many movies back then, and since I didn't have to pay, I saw this one in the theater at least three times! Great each time. The thing about the soundtrack is that Peter Bogdanovich (spelling?) wanted Bruce Springsteen to be the main artist, and The Boss was fine with it, but for some reason the studio wasn't. So that's why you hear more Bob Seger in it. Bob is great as well and I like the tunes used by him, but I'm interested in which ones by Bruce they would've used. Love "Ripple" by The Grateful Dead, and it fits perfectly at the end. Glad you showed a real pic of Rocky Dennis and told about how his body was donated to UCLA....I never knew that! Thanks again for another stellar post! Give Jah a pet for me!

[@TraciHilbers]

Loved this movie...Sam Elliot is a awesome actor,Cher was also great in this movie...thanks for the vlog Jordan

[@metta8]

Friday evenings are usually the best day to go to Monrovia. That is when their farmer's market is. :) The real Rocky lived in Azusa and Glendora. You mentioned in a previous recent video that LA does not have much of a community feel. But the cities in this area often have closer-knit communities. In my neighborhood, we have neighborhood events to make sure that neighbors spend more time with each other. So not all of LA is like that. Wow, they have really let that cemetery decline. I wonder what is going on there?

[@Greencloud8]

I lived in Glendora from 88-92 My grandparents lived across the street from citrus college in the 70s maybe 60s to 2000s

[@williamzoom]

One of my favorite movies! Yeah, Cher but for me, 'ol Sam does it for me. Viva la Sam! When you donate your body, about a year later, your family gets your ashes back. Wonder where Rocky's ashes are now. My mom was a biker so this movie hits real close to me. She died about 12 yrs ago of ALS and donated her body.

[@GraceToo_]

I thought I had heard many years ago that Laura Dern (Diana) had said that the training for and acting blind in the film really took a toll on her to the point where she felt her vision was actually different for awhile. Mask is one of the best films for taking you on a perfect emotional journey, I can't imagine anyone NOT loving this movie.

[@Velocity_sports9]

I'll have to put this movie back on my list. It has been years since I saw it. I remember that is when I discovered Eric Stolz and loved his acting. Sure is a reminder about putting life into perspective. Although I personally don't care for Cher as a singer, I really always have appreciated her as an actress. You did an excellent job on this vlog!

[@cherstyler]

Cher and Peter Bogdonovitch fought each other tooth and nail throughout the filming...she wanted to wear a wig for the role and he refused to allow her to do so, insisting that everyone would know she was wearing a wig. So she went and had her hair bleached and dyed red to satisfy his demands. Her hair was fried by this and broke off ...so she wore the wig instead and he never figured it out. He also threatened to cut her out of the film saying it was all about the boy and her part was expendable.....they have a history as he was a writer for LOOK magazine in the 1960's and interviewed Sonny and CHER at the height of their rise to fame. The studio didn't wanna pay for Bruce Springsteen's music to be in the soundtrack as he was so famous and popular at that time...instead they put a lot of Bob Seeger music in the film...the directors cut fixes that and many other things. This whole movie and CHER not even being nominated for her performance is what prompted her to wear that infamous all black outfit to present on the Oscar telecast that year...."As you can see I did receive my booklet from the academy on how to dress like a serious actress" ....and it is still printed every year in papers across the world at the time of the Oscars.

[@musk4mars116]

[@leeannasloan526]

Cher was outstanding in her role..I cannot imagine this movie without her. I have watched mask at least once a year since I was a teenager and the scene where Rocky is dead and she realizes it makes me cry every single time..Meryl Streep is very hyped and I think she is a good acteess but Cher is just as good in my opinion. I have never watched cher in anything and fail...she hasn't been in as much movies as meryl so there is more of a marine for error for Meryl. I watched that movie Ricky and the flash the other day and I thought she was awful in it...for such an acclaimed acteess I should buy her performance in anything and she just didn't come across as believable in anyway to me as a rock star, she sang a song in iti think called cold one and it was suppose to be a cool song and I just thought it was awful...just my opinion though. Cher would have probably rocked that role and Benn believable as a washed up ex rock star who sold her family out for a chance to rock.

[@karenmallonee3867]

MASK is definitely one of my favorite movies. I am more of a classic movie person, but this story carried my heart away! Nothing to pick apart & I truly got lost in the acting, each character was so amazingly played. Rusty & Rocky broke my heart! ❤️

I’ve looked up everything about Roy that’s his real name and his mother Rusty. Not a lot about them which is sad. Why I had to click on this video! Wow really cool seeing the real places and what they look like now..ty so much for this. ❤ The soundtracks was Bob Seiger .. not Bruce. Bruce was his favorite but they couldn’t afford Bruce music so they used Bob S.. That’s true the mother talks about it. She nor Rocky didn’t even know who Bob s was. She tells the story why they had to use his music..
