A Biography Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2009)

After David Lynch's 1977 bizarre flick "Eraserhead", he was asked to direct a film adaption of the true story based on John Merrick. "The Elephant Man" is a film where emotions and the human spirit really show. A film about the development of humans. Just because people are deformed, does not mean they are useless, or a waste. In this story, its about an Englishman who was born differently than everyone else. Now what I admired about this film is how its acting is done by John Hurt as John Merrick (Elephant Man). Such a disgrace a man like him must have lived through.
If anyone has a heart for films and loves teary-eyed films, this is probably for you. Its much different than most of David Lynch's films, but it shall be remembered for its beauty and sadness that John Merrick must have felt. He admired art, he loved plays, and he wanted to sleep in a bed like a human.....and thats exactly what he did.
"The Elephant Man" is a powerful, moving biography on the never forgotten John Merrick.
