My Review of The Elephant Man

The movie The Elephant Man is a powerful and touching. I at first was not so pleased with the sight of John Merrick but through out the movie the sight of him became a regular and accepting figure. The attitude of John Merrick influences a movie and the audience speaking for myself, because his way of being is contradicting everything he lives through its just amazing. I don't believe an attitude like John Merricks can ever exist. The scenes through the movie are mind bottling and made me wonder if the way Merrick was treated was humane, yet people described him to be inhumane or an animal. Men like Bytes and the Night Porter quickly I gained sense of hatred for the type of doings the men would do this just being an overall affect from an excellent movie. I feel if the movie has the capability to feel a emotions than the movie has done its job and The Elephant Man did so several times. The movie is an instant classic because it can really have an affect on the viewers and it can do much good to the uprise of Bullying in todays environments.

  1. "I don't believe an attitude like John Merricks can ever exist.” What an interesting comment! I’m really not sure what to make of this. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Is this is a reflection of a cybnical attitude or admiration for John Merrick’s transcendence? Hmmm…
