Obviously, for the success of the film with the jaded modern audience, everything matters. And it all, of course, begins with the original plot.

And it is no surprise that we see freaks on the big screen. “Frankenstein”, “Freaks”, “The Elephant Man” so on and so forth… It is such a vivid way of showing the difference between human and non-human.
