My Review of The Elephant Man

The Elephant Man is a film that should be watched by a variety of audiences. The plot and climax of the whole movie was brilliant as it also deals with hidden messages within the movie itself. The relation to Jesus himself was something I had at first not known until Mr. Lansdown told us about it. The Jesus concept of The Elephant Man being ugly because of the way we have chewed up the Earth makes a lot lot sense, including the bit of his mom being the Virgin Mary is really cool. The way David Lynch captured The Elephant Man was also outstanding, he really captured the essence of what The Elephant Man (John Merrick) was about, in the way he acted, and the way he was treated, and definitely the way he looked. John  Merrick at one point in the movie, despite all the abuse and neglet he went through, tells Dr. Treves that he's "Happy every hour," and to me that's gold because his heart is still pure and he doesn't see life in a negative way. He's a very hopeful person and does not want harm to be instilled upon his friends, for who is ms. Mothershead, Dr. Treves, Carr Gomm, Anna Treves, and of course, the princess of Wales, Ms. Kendall.
