    Between the two classes, I went back and forth for breakfast, and watched the elephant man by the way. Can this society really become as warm as Lynch expected in this...

    Kindness to the mean? Well, I finally know why so many directors committed suicide, why do they have to make the movie so desperate... I admit that I have poor psychological capacity, God, please forgive me! Overall, I find this film to be very tugging, not a bong, but it has depth, of course it has a lot, but at the same time it is very easy to understand (if you say it). Although this kind of very unique thing may not be encountered by everyone,...

    It's hard to believe it's based on real events "Can you imagine what his life was like?" "No one can understand how he feels" "I try to be a good person" "I hope she loves me look" "never a beautiful woman has ever been so kind to me" actually the doctor's madness after losing the Elephant Man is the same as Bates the Elephant Man said he was happy every day "God bless him an idiot" but he is...

    The early David Lynch was still very grounded. At first I saw it as a special effect film, and the hood of the Elephant Picking Man was not realistic enough, but now I realize how vulgar it was at that time. sad human...

    I thought that this Lynch finally had no dreams and fantasy, but I didn't expect to talk directly. What a sweet...

    As soon as the music at the beginning came out, I knew it was David Lynch. It was very delicate and very emotional. I didn't expect this product to have such a moving side, and it is indeed rare to see films that express the warmth of the industrial age. To a certain extent, it is also a metaphor, a top-heavy...

    Weird darkness is just a stylistic gimmick of David Lynch, and commensurate with the form and content is his excellent method. The avatars in the front intentionally delaying show almost the same positive and negative hits as the back, as well as high-contrast images, all of which are close to the content of the...

    The hypocrisy and curiosity of human nature; all kinds of ugly faces are all at a glance... Fortunately, the head nurse and the doctor still have a trace of reflection, giving the elephant a new life... and the elephant finally achieves his own peace. Died from the dream of sleeping like an ordinary...

    The existence of Elephant Man exposes the selfishness of people from all walks of life, the symbolic care that the ruling class has to do, the visitation of celebrities to create vanity enough to show off, and the pursuit of profit by the lower classes. But the performance (the doctor becoming a reflector) eventually enriched his vision, from being watched to a viewer, and the viewing channel changed from the hole in the cloth bag to a telescope. A close-up magnified display of the church he...

    21_145. An outlier, the circus took him for fun, and the upper class saved him, and also regarded him as a novelty. He wears a special appearance, and inside is a soft heart that wants to absorb everything. Can he sleep peacefully in the end? After failing to "cure" his appearance, can he integrate into the society of ordinary...

  • Mrs. Treves: I'm very pleased to meet you, Mr. Merrick.

    John Merrick: I'm very pleased...

    [John begins to cry]

    Dr. Frederick Treves: What is it, John? What's the matter?

    John Merrick: It's just that I-I'm not used to being treated so well by a beautiful woman...

  • John Merrick: [after seeing pictures of Dr. Treves' family] Would you care to see my mother?

    Dr. Frederick Treves: [surprised] Your mother? Yes please.

    [John pulls out a small portrait]

    Mrs. Treves: Oh but she's... Mr. Merrick, she's beautiful!

    John Merrick: Oh, she had the face of an angel!

    [sadly]

    John Merrick: I must have been a great disappointment to her.

    Mrs. Treves: No, Mr. Merrick, no. No son as loving as you could ever be a disappointment.

    John Merrick: If only I could find her, so she could see me with such lovely friends here now; perhaps she could love me as I am. I've tried so hard to be good.

    [Mrs. Treves begins to cry]
