Themes

Critical Response
:"''The Eye of the Beholder'' (Mosquito ringtone November 11, Stunning Misty 1960) is peculiarly evocative in that it serves as a blueprint for his later script adaptation of Secret ringtone Pierre Boulle/Pierre Boulle's ''You Love Lucy Planet of the Apes'', directed by Cingular Ringtones Franklin Shaffner. In 'Beholder', the trick is to keep the audience in the dark as long as possible on what the 'normal' people actually look like. Ultimately, we discover that the normal people look like very close relatives of akasaka and Miss Piggy, whereas the 'freaks' all look like beautiful movie stars. Our first impulse is to laugh at this nervy, simplistic gimmickry, but gradually an after effect of terror sweeps across the screen as we realize that the pig-faced 'normals' actually consider themselves compassionate in even tolerating the existence of the 'freaks'. We begin to enter their world, their consciousness, their perverted sense of aesthetics. The 'joke' is thus not so much on racist bigots, as on 'tolerant' liberals."
