Subject: The movie Mask
I just caught the last 45 minutes of the movie Mask last night on TV. I really enjoyed this movie, but I missed the beginning! What caused the cranial deformity, and what caused Rocky to die? Thank you, Denise
Subject: Re: The movie Mask
when babies are born there are two bones in there head that are supposed to gradually grow together during childhood, in rocky's case his bones were all ready attatched therefore there was not enough room for his brain to grow that's why he always got headaches.

>That has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. I can't believe that that is Eric Stolz "behind the mask."
Subject: It was a birth defect
It was a birth defect. The film begins with a doctor telling teen aged Ricky and his mother that Ricky only has 6 months to live. The mom and son laugh out loud , because doctors have been saying 6 months to live, every 6 months since he was born. The cranial deformity really is fatal, though, because of the pressure it puts on the brain, and he really does eventually die. The message of the movie was that because of the diligance of his mother, he had a pretty normal life, in spite of his handicap. And that it's rude to hire a prostitute for your son. And that Cher has a lot of hair.

I think the movie was based on a true story.

They said that it was just a rare disease and that it had nothing to do with either of the parents. Rocky died in his sleep...he had been having bad headaches that day. I watched the movie in the afternoon and then at night. I like it too.

I watched it last night too on TNT. I as well missed the beginning. Wasn't Rocky's deformity a result of Cher's character taking drugs and alcohol???
I'm not sure what caused Rocky to die at the end.

somebody I know was wondering the other day if it was based on a book, and wanted to know the name of it.. does anyone know what it was? I guess with Cher's new song burning up the charts this movie has kinda resurfaced.. which is cool, it was always a great movie... though the new song is kind of annoying with that voice distortion thing they do in it.. ruins it in my book...
