unfortunate son of England

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2001)

When the dwarf said to John Merrick "Good Luck, and who needs it more than we do" it is a message that goes out to all who don't fit the standard norm society has set. Even today there are many John Merrick's who have no desire to leave the house in fear of being laughed at. Another movie displayed it quite well, namely Gilbert Grape. In this time and age when women strive to look like models and men toned products of the gym with perfect rippled torsos, maybe we should be more understanding and caring to each other and learn that every human is different. This is a movie who's message should be taught in school.
My hat off to David Lynch.
