The Elephant Man

Watched This in tribute to David Lynch’s Birthday/Passing Along with John Hurts Birthday ( RIP THE GOATS) Art is the only way I can describe this it’s soul crushing it can convey so many emotions in such little time while it’s not perfect it’s a Masterpiece 9.4/10

The Elephant Man is so disturbing — and so successful — because it makes you think about the privilege and oppression in a bottom-line way.

broke my heart as a kid, i couldn’t understand how people could be so cruel

good stuff recommended by Karl pilkington

There's a good dose of kindness and humanity in this film. The friendship between the doctor and John Merrick is very pleasant to watch, and seeing him supported when everyone rejects him is heartwarming.

The story telling is great and it’s a quality movie, but the story itself I was not a fan of. Like it’s a good movie but it’s about a deformed man who’s horrifically abused and humiliated his whole life and the happy ending is that people start tearing him like a person.
