Is there a good movie about someone with a deformity or a physical flaw such as dwarfism? Longing to lead a normal life?

The movie shouldn't be a comedy movie. I am looking for something more meaningful.
Movie that depicts a boy or a man longing to live a normal life. Find love, get married etc but can not do so because of his situation?

Also, movies about cancer patient do not fit this description. Because it is a terminal disease and not something that you have to live with for your entire life as a social outcast. Even with Aids, some uneducated people might avoid you only when they find out that you have Aids.

The Mask, or maybe it's just called "Mask".

I head about such a procedure back when I was growing up and was worried about my height. Never thought it's real.

If you want fantasy, you could always watch "The Witcher." Yennifer (the title character's love interest) was born with a hump on her back and a messed-up jaw, and paid a terrible price to have those fixed.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007). The main character suffers a stroke and is completely paralyzed with the exception of his left eye. He begins to write a book by blinking while a woman helps decipher what he is saying so she can write it down. About 70% of the movie is a point of view of his left eye. Highly recommended.

Is the movie any good? Because IMDB rating is just 6.2. Which is low for a movie of this nature.
