Very emotional

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2006)

Nothing could hurt more than watching this deformed man in shock at seeing his own face. Perhaps one of the most gut-wrenching moments in all of cinema. A person, a human being, loathed by society by his outward appearance. He understands why, but never himself sees the reason until later in life.
There are some strange things in the film; the beginning of the film depicts an elephant and a woman producing a child. The Elephant man is not easy to look at, either. However, this is such a great story on the human condition; it would be sad to miss it. A simple review cannot explain all that is said with this film. It is true art.
