Reminds me of the Humanity this world can possess

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2003)

Outrightly David Lynch's mind for cinema can be extremely gratifying and seemingly endless with oddball visionaries and tales of preferrably forgotten underbelly members of society.But with all the style and general controversy his films exude,There is no denying that he is responsible also for a film that contains the most realistic display of the brilliance of human kindness and humanity ever seen.
I of course am referring to the amazing "Elephant Man" a film with dazzling acting (Especially that of John Hurt - Perhaps almost the greatest ever seen) and of direction (David Lynch - such style to burn)
No film has ever made my emotions into a rollercoaster the way this film did in chronicalling a young mans disability and indifference (Particulary in Cruel unassuming Victorian London circa "Jack the Ripper") and the whirlpool of life's seemingly new and vast openings in portraying him as the most humble and truly admired character of the screen.Merrick's brave determination to defeat his bitter side showmans offences and become accepted and embraced into a class of his own deserving is a rewarding experience to behold.His Charisma and the impact he has on all around him make for him a true gentleman and hero,none of the likes of which i have ever seen.The scenes of stage reciting and the intimate partakings between Treves and Merrick are of high impact.Only those without a heart could not be warmed by this film.
Anyone who has put down on those different to them and having viewed this film will certainly never feel well enough to raise their head again rest assured.
John Merrick was not only a hero of his time,but a character who's spirit lives on 100 years later.This film and book should be compulsory study matter for schools worldwide,So many new understandings could be developed.
Behold!!
