One of the most painful and dark movies ever made..

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2015)

by far "the elephant man" is most dark and painful movie for me, and the second goes for "requiem for a dream". but this movie is different, the black and white style and screenplay really drive the viewers fall into complete darkness and sickness.
john hurt performance was splendid. he successfully possessing the viewers to guide them into his desperation. this movie have a strong potential to becoming one from a few darkness classical movies ever made. David lynch's black and white use really effective for this film. he also really doing a good job to made dark and painful scenes. the art- direction and costume design were great, the elephant man make- up nearly real at all, believable.
this movie had a strong inspiration aspect inside it. it make the viewers to see the world differently, there are lucky and unlucky being. we need to treat them like we should be, and if we're not, try to position yourself into them. thats what this movie tells about. dark and painful movie, my recommendation is not to watch it while you're in bad mod or need for entertain. but when you're ready to experience a deep darkness, you will feel its torment.
