I juess i'm just saying that the very concept of Freaks were the Freaks.
You could apply the 'what if' logic to any genre film.
Sure it would be just another jilted lover revenge flick ....
And almost every single Sci-Fi flick would just be a western ..
And every slasher flick without a crazed killer would be a crime drama.
Freaks was a landmard film for a number of reasons .. it was daring as hell for the time and it painted a sympathetic picture of the poor unfortunates in the film. It also made them human.
Which was the point of the film .. these poor creatures were more human than the 'normal' girl.
So without the freaks .. the movie would have no point.
I understand where the question came from ... but in this case i'd have to say that they were integral to the film.
