a masterpiece of filmmaking...

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2002)

Perhaps the greatest movie ever based on a true story.Set in black and white to capture every aspect of it's cinematography,director David Lynch makes you feel for this man to the point of tears with a beautifully simple soundtrack,incredible performances from Anthony Hopkins as the doctor and John Hurt as John Merrick(the elephant man),and the direction of David Lynch.If you had a ballot for "Best Director"in a movie that ever existed,Lynch would be on the ballot for this movie.
