My Review on The Elephant Man


The movie was so well thought out, I really enjoyed it, and because it’s not like most movies we see today that all have one happy ending. The conflict of the story was ongoing throughout the whole movie and although it was a sad movie it was interesting and left us wanting to know what was going to happen next. It was such a sad movie that had us thinking why would John Merrick want to kill himself after he had finally obtained happiness and once he was finally socially accepted in a humane way. What I found most interesting was that it was based on a true story, according to Dr. Frederick Treves’ writings. The movie has a much deeper meaning to it that many of us probably would have never caught. David lynch had such a unique way of presenting religion to us. Through out the whole movie he was giving us a message.
