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

Heart breaking cinema movies don’t get better than this

“It’s the audience that’s transformed, the first time he’s seen on screen, we cover our faces and turn away in horror at his hideousness. But by the end, we’re on a close shot of his face and all we can see is his beauty. He didn’t change but we changed.”
