I'm Not An Animal!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2007)

1st off..let me say that The Elephant Man, is a film that will stand the test of time. Sir Anthony Hopskins, and John Hurt, and other terrific actors did a tremendous job on this film. The 1st thing I noticed was that, this movie was in black&white. At 1st I was very skeptical if that would work..To tell u the truth it did. Having the movie black&white gave this movie some deep feeling and powerful emotions..since this movie was based in the 1890's, it was the perfect fit for B&W film..Casting John Hurt as John Merrick, was the perfect choice because, he is a tremendous actor, not well known to the audience, so that gives it a more punch for the money.Because after the film ends. You wanna know who was that actor that played John Merrick so well..Anothny Hopskins.WOW what can I say, what compassion this fellow had.This movie really brought a tear in my eyes. The transformation of John Hurt..UNBELIEVABLE..To bad back then the academy awards didn't have a category for best make-up design.and the only reason that john hurt didn't win the Oscars is because I think that the audience never saw his face..BUT WHAT A JOB WELL DONE!!!I would give this movie 100 Stars, but the Max is 10....
