An amazing story about the human spirit that's told with great sensitivity...that is how I would describe this movie.A VERY truly amazing movie about the human spirit, about how people are in general and how the only bad thing in this world is that there were not and are not any or many people like John Merrick!I rented it on DVD yesterday and I was so touched and moved by this movie like no other!For any one who has not seen the movie yet...DO IT!It is in my "Best movies in my life - top 10" list, at number 3 or 4 right there with: The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, V For Vendetta, Memento, The Prestige, Amelie..."!All in all the movie is...something that you truly have to see for yourself.Everything was amazingly and beautifully done in this movie, especially John Hurt's performance as John Merrick! p.s. - with The Shawshank Redemption, V For Vendetta and The Green Mile this movie has gotten deep...very deep into my heart and soul!My eyes, heart and soul were touched and cried like never before! BIG 10 out of 10!!!
