My Review of the Elephant Man
The Elephant Man was an extraordinary film that captured my attention through the character of Johm Merrick. It seemed unbelievable to make such abstract character fit it more than other normal looking characters. This film made me appreciate what i have and those that care for me because even the smallest things matter as Merrick demonstrated. When i saw Merrick getting attacked, i thought to myself "this type of treatment towards innocent people still carries on" and thus i began to see how the ugly people can too be the normal looking ones. The Elephant Man was a film that conveyed the message that ungliness lies within those who conceal it, which made me realize that a book should never be judged by its cover. In addition, Merrick demonstrated that it is possible to live the most joyful times in the smallest amount of time because those that surround oneself make life easier. This film was amazing in showing who the real deformed creatures are, and the lack of color made each and every scene more dramatic, impacting, impacting, because i was able to appreciate the expressions of each character's face more deeply without having to get distracted by the color. In my opinion, the best scene was when John Merrick was being chased and got cornered at the train station, but suddenly he spoke up and his scream for himself was so awe-inspiring for me. Merrick had the courage to finally stop people from treating hin as a monster and his voice put those people in their place.
