Being Different (1981)

A tribute to the spirit and humanity of people who are physically different from the average: very tall and very large men and women, a bearded woman and her long-time husband, Siamese twins joined at the midsection, and several little people including actor Billy Barty. We meet some at Gibsonton, Florida, where carnival folk winter. They talk about their lives and accomplishments. The camera also goes on the road to visit a grandfather with a distinctive face, a legless mechanic from Kentucky on a second honeymoon in LA, a marathon runner and motivational speaker who has no feet, a karate student with partial limbs, and an armless, down-to-earth mom in Texas.

A fairly well-organized documentary about "human oddities", those people who are born with extraordinary physical conditions that act as both blessings and curses in their own way. The film begins by surveying some of the inhabitants of Gibsonton, Florida--the carnival capital of the USA--to speak with some of those individuals who choose to exhibit themselves, and continues on to speak with people who prefer to live a life of normality. I'm always fascinated by this culture of peculiarity and so I am biased in that I was totally engaged throughout. It's difficult not to be, I think, even if one doesn't share my love of sideshow culture and medical maladies past and present. The interviews are interesting, the people are extraordinary, and as always with these kinds of docs, the conclusion is generally the same--they're as normal and as charming sorts of people as you could imagine.

One year after the success of Lynch's Elephant Man, this documentary was released. Clearly, cashing in on its publicity. This would make an interesting double-bill with Todd Browning's Freaks. That said, Being Different is a surprisingly intelligent documentary. The narration by Christopher Plummer is poetic and at times profound and the film creates a great deal of sympathy for the "irregular people". In fact, they never come across as being exploited. (At least not by the filmmakers - more by themselves). The last subject (the woman with no arms) is particularly inspiring. She's strong-minded, positive and has such incredible determination. In fact, I was truly humbled. Most of the film deals with Little People but there are plenty of other intriguing characters. A shame this hasn't been properly released. It's an important document.
