So I just saw the movie called Mask and was just wondering how much is true?!


Question: So I just saw the movie called Mask and was just wondering how much is true!?
Wow, what a powerful movie!. Very touching and moving!. This movie was just so emotion!. Hell Cher did such a good job that you forgot it was Cher and you see her as Dusty, A drug addicted mother and lost soul!. Eric Stoelz (spelling!?) did an amazing job as Rocky Dennis a boy with a rare skull condition!. So i was just wondering how much of the movie is true!. Did the real Rocky Dennis really go to a camp and fall in love with a blind girl or is that just added in to make the film to build more of a story!?!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
The romance with the blind girl was fabricated, but I imagine Rocky did have a crush at some time, which would be average for anyone!. There really is a camp for blind children, per discussion at IMDB's forum for "Mask"!. You might enjoy doing some reading there, so I'll place a link:

Courtesy of IMDB, here is some information:
Songs by Bob Seger were substituted in place of those by Bruce Springsteen shortly before the film's release after a failure to reach agreement with Springsteen!. According to director Peter Bogdanovich !.!.!., he has secured the rights for the Springsteen songs, and the print will be re-released with the music chosen the first time around!.

The poem that Rocky reads to Rusty was written by the real Rocky Dennis:
"These things are good: ice cream and cake, a ride on a Harley, seeing monkeys in the trees, the rain on my tongue, and the sun shining on my face!.
These things are a drag: dust in my hair, holes in my shoes, no money in my pocket, and the sun shining on my face!."

In real life, Rusty actually had two sons!. The older boy died from complications from AIDS, which he got from a blood transfusion!.

Florence "Rusty" Tullis, the mother of Rocky Dennis, passed away November 11, 2006, at age 70 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident on October 14!. Ms!. Tullis was portrayed by Cher in "Mask"!.

Wikipedia has a site for Roy L!. "Rocky" Dennis that includes a picture of him!. You can see that Eric Stoltz's makeup is quite close to the real thing!.

Everything I've ever read about the movie makes it sound like it's a faithful telling of his life's story, but I've never found any details about the blind girl, so that part could be made-up!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
