Rocky was a "neat" kid!! I liked him to the extent that i felt he could've been a good friend of mine... the other characters in the movie who were close to him recognized this... that's why i felt it was so sad to see him die before he had a chance to have plastic surgery and maybe get rid of the headaches and pressure on his spine... it was also sad to see strangers treat him with such fear, as if he were a monster, but i felt as if i shared in his personal triumphs in "winning over" some of these people... i recommend going to see Mask if you enjoy movies that show you a person more than tell you a story...
