Haven't been this touched by a movie in a very long time.

Rating: 8/10 (2 September 2008)

A life of torment and suffering works on one's soul as a jeweler does with a diamond. It is being polished and brought tremendously close to ideal beauty. For This film is all about beauty. In spite of agonizing for as long as he can remember, being used as a show-off freak in circuses, "The Elephant Man", John Mereck, a grotesquely disfigured man reveals a soul contrasting to his every physical feature- intelligence, common sense, a fine taste, and above all...sensitivity and humaneness beyond any boundaries whatsoever.
Yes, This movie is deep, moving and exhilarating, I recommend it to anyone capable of understanding the concept of "beauty within".
