    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.

    February 15, 2009: Overall, one of the best movies I have ever seen! After watching this movie, it goes to show that it's the small things that count in life, and that being different is not so bad at all. The story reflects upon the life of Rocky Dennis, a young teenager growing with with his motorcycle mom, who deals with a difficult drug addiction, though for him, is dealing with a rare, uncurable disease, which affects his relationship with the people and world around him, though Rocky manages to remain optimistic and to have a good sense of humor, which causes many to actually enjoy his presence, and like him who who he is as a person, more than how he looks on the outside.

    September 22, 2004: This movie stands the test of time. With whats happening in our world today, we need a movie like this to come back into our lives and teach us about being different and how that's 'okay.' Being a huge Cher fan, I was always hoping to one day to see some of the deleted scenes that were shot for this movie and yet 'taken out.' The two scenes, adding up to 7 minutes of deleted footage create a feeling of depth and love for the Mother/Son relationship that is so important to this 'true' story. Plus the added bonus of the orig. music back in place and a wonderful look into the casting and making of this beautiful piece of art by the director himself. Do yourself a favor see it again and/or share it with those you love. See why Cher is to be respected as an Actress of unlimited ability.
