Freaks (1932) - One of Us! Scene (6/9) | Movieclips 

I love this moment. At first, it seems like a happy occasion. They are singing because they accept her as family. But it's her foolish fear and greed that makes her see it differently. In the end, her fear became true, not becaus they revealed their true nature, but because she showed hers.

as a physically disabled person, much like the actors in this movie, i LOVE this film! its so surprisingly compassionate, and (in some regards) portrays the disabled far better than modern movies. it rarely infantilizes the "freaks" (when a character does, they are portrayed as cruel) instead it portrays us like actual humans; humans who do questionable things, humans who lie, humans who have romantic and sexual desires, humans who are intelligent, *humans who aren't children.* on top of that, this movie gave so many disabled people a chance to make money and to show their skills. that was, and honestly still is, a once in a lifetime chance. also, the body horror at the end is SO GOOD

I'd rather hang out with the freaks they know how to party.

I felt bad for the freaks in this scene. Here they were offering to Cleopatra a chance to be in their circle like family. Her repulsive reaction to them is like a slap in the face! I notice the freaks are close knit that they watch each other's backs if necessary.

So that’s where “one of us one of us” came from....

just when acceptance is so hard to come by, she throws it out the window. wish i was accepted with that much enthusiasm and "a loving cup"

you know you made a movie ahead of it's time when 90 years pass and people are still watching it....

I initially thought "Gooble gobble one of us!" was supposed to be a reference to groupthink and mindless conformity. Now I feel extra bad knowing the scene is actually about a family of outcasts being rejected by someone they were trying to bond with.

I'm constantly seeing this scene referenced in pop culture, but no one ever knows where it comes from. This is a fantastically creepy movie that has one of the best endings in film history in my opinion. If you've never seen this and you're someone with a true appreciation for films then you need to watch it asap. Anytime someone is looking for a unique horror film this is one of the first ones I recommend

Saw this movie when I was like 4 or 5. Never found it scary, just interesting and fascinating. For example I thought it was very amazing how the legless guy could still walk using his hands. I was easily scared as a kid but I'm glad this movie didn't scare me.

Olga Baclanova's (Cleopatra's) transition to an angry face is really chilling in this one scene. It is definitely nightmare fuel. It's something you never want to be on the receiving end. Well, to me, at least. I'm not sure about everyone else.

Nawhh I find the “freaks” so cute when they are singing. So sad they are being treated this way :(

I just learned Angeleno (the dwarf with the cup) was the top half of Master Blaster in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Holy shit, my mind is blown.

Lil man dancing around on top of the table with the chalice is a real one

awww I just wanna cry when they tease the guy at the end for being very little.....

They are not freaks, they are humans. Its you who are freaks. Bravo, Browning, for telling people the truth right in their faces.

I saw this film at a Saturday matinee as a preteen in the late 50's. Had no idea what I was getting into, left me shaken.

ONE OF US ONE OF US - Now I know where Wolf of Wall Street got that from haha

What a masterpiece. Even today, this movie still stands up. Bravo!

The man passing the champagne to everyone is Angelo Rossitto born 1908.He was in the movie Mad Max beyond Thunderdome in 1985

I can tell a lot of these characters inspired the ones in American Horror Story: Freak Show. Amazing season! ♥️

Amazing that a film like this got made in 1932 and such a brutal ending!

Being a big Ramones fan, I never had any idea whatsoever until today that the opening line of "Pinhead" was strongly inspired by this. Hilarious!!! LMFAO

I love the message this movie sends.

This is such a powerful, fantastic and truly enthralling film! Gooble Gobble!

What an incredible movie, I just found out about it 2 days ago. "What Browning and his crew discovered was that, typically, each sideshow has one genuinely deformed performer, such as conjoined twins, a bearded lady, pinheads, etc. All the rest are “normal” people in costume as padding for the authentic main event. But when Browning chose a whole cast’s worth of true freaks, he found each one was accustomed to being the star of their show, and thus each one behaved like a prima donna on set. Rather than forming a bond from their shared maladies during production, their egos clashed. Browning told a reporter later that the freaks’ “professional jealousy was amazing. Not one of them had a good word for the other.” They were proud and vain, more aghast by the other freaks’ physical maladies than their own. Several began wearing sunglasses and acting like movie stars, although most would never appear on celluloid again."

That guy who fills the "loving cup" actually went on to play Masterblaster in Madmax Beyond Thunderdome...

Moral of the story: you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us

Introverts at a party be like: 0:15

Funny how a scene with little to no music can still sound musical! 🤩

I've never seen the movie, but I really want to. I find the "freaks" adorable, cheerful, and hilarious. I really like the armless woman, I don't know why, but I find her so adorable!💖

1:06 I love this little strut Angelo does.

The black dude lightning his cigarrette is one of the most impressive subtle moments of storytelling I have ever seen on cinema. This movie can be both funny (I think she like you, but he don't) and horrifying.

I'm just amazed at the enthusiasm that the bearded lady shows here bein like "One of us!" 🤣 She looks as if there's a million other things that she'd rather be doing besides this. Lol

At the end, she really did become one of them.

This is absolutely repulsive. The way she treats those people who are ready to welcome her.

I like all of these comments. These are 100 percent people in every way that I am. And I see all of the commenters absorbing that as well. Yeah people are different; thank God. (Funny ... I'm not religious) And so what? Differences are all good.

I'd rather hang out with them than being on twitter

One of the greatest scenes in film history. When I first saw this in HS, I just laughed. Watching it now, I tear up...

In the short story this was based on the wife had to carry her husband on her shoulders as penance, but the film uses it as a way for Cleo to try to humiliate Hans

Fun fact: Olga Baclanova, unlike her character, was able to accept the disabled and stopped judging them for who they were.

Great Film. AHS season for was based on this. Only issue is. We will probs never see film like this again

I am surprised no one has done this at a wedding.

The way Josephine Joseph starts the chant; she sounds like a she's from the mafia.

And never forget, the disability community is the largest minority group worldwide, where one could become a part of at any time! One of us one of us!!

Their song is low key fire.

They are not freaks they're human beings and they have feelings just like everyone else

This is one of the greatest scenes in one of the greatest movies of its time. Way ahead of its time. Too bad they didn't keep the original ending to castrate Hercules.

she exploded for no damn reason, they clearly accepted her as one of them even though she was different.

At 0:57. Schlitzie is so cute with his smile and waving his hand. So darn cute.

I finally get the Wolf of Wall Street reference lol

I watch clips of this movie and go "where's the scary part?" Just feels like a slice of life film

What i find fascinating about the people here, is that to keep in mind that this is the 30s. No cgi, no high tech makeup, no animatronic puppetry, no green screen effect These are actual people and the closest of how/what they look like Which is why this film left an impact

2:07 I swear, that actor was also a munchkin in The Wizard of Oz lol 😂 I recognize his voice. The one who handed Dorothy the flowers 💐

This was done during the "pre-code Hollywood" years. I wish a documentary or movie was made about this.

*ONE OF US, ONE OF US!*

They fixed her! Served her right!

Why do you say gooble gobble? “We don’t know, one of us” - the Simpsons lol

I'm sure most of these people had a grand old time making the movie, but you gotta feel for the microcephaly people who didn't know what was going on. Poor Schlitze is looking all confused and scared at 1:55. EDIT: You can tell he must have acted quite distraught because they edited him out of the scene immediately after 1:55.

One of the best movies that ever were made ! Marvellous.

The most terrifying thing about this whole movie for me even as a kid is this scene , the fact they all shared that cup and I could only imagine the back water that was left in it .

The dwarf ( or whatever you're supposed to call them I forget) at the beginning reminds me of the actor who plays in harry potter. He even waves his arms and talks and looks the same.

Some people aren't getting this. The film points out that she's "one of us" because she's a "freak" in the moral sense.

I love this movie so much. Absolutely one of my favorites. It was so misunderstood when it came out, and still to some extent remains that way today. In a way it humanized these sideshow actors showing their lives behind the scenes. I feel like theres a nuance to it that a lot of people ignore.

The most intense scene in the whole movie mainly because it was a forewarning of what was going to happen to Cleopatra. This movie should go back on the big screen BUT not as a remake. Thanks for posting.

Aww that's really sweet. The lady gave that child a piggy back ride

Anybody else catch him sayin to Cleopatra 'they're going to make you one of them by being a duck'!?

South Park brought me here

I had seen the remake but I have never the original. I can't wait to see it.

sShe was the thrill-seeking Duchess in The Man Who Laughs 4 years earlier. I'm sure the advent of sound movies ruined her career and this is why she was in this.

Master blaster. Seriously though this scene always makes me sad when I see it idk why

This movie was so ahead of its time!

An amazing and terrifying scene.

I saw 'Freaks' some 50 years ago. I remember it as if it was yesterday.

Truly a sensational film! But so different from the original concept. Urged by Irving Thalberg, the story was revised from the original source by Goldbeck. I can’t believe Mayer approved this! LOL but then again… Tod browning was riding on the highly successful Dracula bandwagon! For his homecoming project , Irving Thalberg offered Browning a sumptuous , star - studded mystery film : Arsène Lupin , based on the play by Maurice Leblanc and Francis de Croisset about a master thief and the detective who outwits him . The production would bring together , for the first time and with considerable hoopla , John and Lionel Barrymore in the leading roles . But on June 8 , 1931 , the day after the commencement of his new contract with M - G - M , Browning notified the studio that he was not enthusiastic about Arsène Lupin and would rather develop the Tod Robbins short story " Spurs , " which he had convinced Metro to purchase several years earlier for $ 8,000 . A revenge story set in a circus and centering on a midget , the tale had a natural part for the actor Harry Earles , who had made an unforgettable impression in The Unholy Three . Earles , in fact , had first brought the story to Browning's attention . in Robbins ' original story , first published in Munsey's Magazine in February 1923 , was set in a small traveling circus in France . The troupe's midget , Jacques Courbé , falls hopelessly in love with the company's bareback rider , Jeanne Marie , who accepts his proposal only because she has learned of his recent large inheritance . Her real lover is her partner , Simon LaFleur , whom she plans to wed after Jacques ' death - she believes that midgets age and die much more rapidly than do normal people and that her wait will be mercifully brief. During the feast , the drunken Jeanne Marie insults her diminu tive bridegroom , declaring loudly that she could carry her " little ape " on her shoulders from one end of France the other . A year passes , during which Jeanne Marie and her strong man are sepa rated from one another , Jacques having retired from the circus and taken his wife to live on his large inherited estate . One day , Simon is startled to find a haggard and barely recognizable Jeanne Marie standing before his wagon door . The woman pleads with him to protect her from her midget husband , explaining that he has never forgiven her the cruel comment about carrying him on her shoulders . He has , in fact , taken her at her word . A virtual prisoner , guarded by a vicious wolfhound named St. Eustache , she has been forced daily to carry Jacques from dawn to dusk down the lonely country roads , slowly working off the equivalent of " one end of France to the other . " " " As Jeanne Marie concludes her woeful tale , Jacques himself enters the wagon , mounted on his canine steed St. Eustache and carrying a tiny sword . Simon tries to prevent the midget from re claiming Jeanne Marie , but he is overpowered by the dog . Pinned to the floor by the powerful animal , Simon is silently dispatched by Jacques ' penetrating blade . Jeanne , completely humbled and resigned to her fate , places her little mate on her shoulders and weakly trudges off in the direction of their home . They are spotted in the distance by the circus owner , who is astonished : " ' Can it be ? ' he murmured . ' Yes , it is ! Three old friends ! And so Jeanne Marie still carries him ! Ah , but she should not poke fun at M. Jacques Courbé ! He is so sensitive ; but alas , they are the kind that are always henpecked ! "

That harmonica playing randomly ☺️

Gotta love how catchy this is

Pennywise,The Nun and Momo: we are the scariest Characters ever!!! The Freaks:Hold our Beers

of course ahs was inspired from this. man no one is original anymore

I sometimes wish that a group start to sing this song and welcome me passionately and warmly... feel so lonely... being alone sucks

Soon as lil dude started saying "gooble gobble" I would've been out!

This movie was lightyears ahead of its time. I wish they didn’t have to cut so much of it either

They say the lady with the beard was not happy with the film and how it portrayed the people in it and you can tell she's not happy when she says one of us, she's got no enthusiasm at all and looks miserable...

I'd be honored to be accepted by such a group of people tbh. I'm face blind and unless someone looks very different or I've known them for years I cannot tell people apart, I see people like these and go 'what's your name? I wanna get to know you. can you go on rollercoasters and crap? let's go! I stand by my opinion they should make thrill rides with little people in mind.'

I would be honored to be the subject of a Loving Cup ceremony.

0:04 Us to Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie embracing the Barbenheimer double feature

1:34 what the hell man they were having fun chill tf out dude

Now I see where American Horror Story got its inspiration

This was on TMC a few months ago. Scared the hell out of my poor 81 year old mother..

Jeez, why does she have to take everything so literally? They were simply saying "We accept you as a member of our social circle" but she had to turn it into a diplomatic clusterfuck! 🙄

The original Freak Show - AHS and Pinhead by the Ramones inspired them.

And who's pouring the wine? That's Master from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. What a long career.

Nicole Dollanganger's song Cries Of The Elephant Man's Bones brought me here!

I will admit that the Ramones brought me here.

When a celebrity posts about playing a game Gamers:

This is me every time I put my heart out there to someone I love, offering them my loving cup 😔

I just came here from the south park reference

Amazing to think the little person went on to play master blaster in mad max beyond thunderdome

This terrified me. Not even because the way they look it just the song they are singing is creepy

Look up all the actors. They became very wealthy and lived great lives. Prince reneir, the human torso guy fathered i think it was 19 kids. The siamese twins (the hilton sisters) did another movie, cannot remembwr the name, but the one sister murdered her sisters husband. The judge didnt know how to handle it because the innocent sister would have to spend her life in prison too if her sister was convicted of the murder.
