I enjoyed Mask... i thought it was one of the better movies
released in recent months... the plot itself was not all that
unique (we've seen movies before about people overcoming their
physical deformities) but the great part of it was the character
portrayals and development.  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...
