Later, the doctor wondered if he and the circus owner were the same kind of people, but he changed the place of detention to a ward, and still used the elephant man as an object in the exhibition to meet his professional needs? The doctor did profit from it. After all, the Elephant Man is a rare medical record in the history of medicine, but the doctor's profit is not based on the pain of the Elephant Man. He did his best to help the Elephant Man. This is him and the circus The boss is different. I don't think this is hypocritical kindness. It is normal for people to pursue personal interests. The so-called kindness does not mean sacrificing oneself. The price is too high and unsustainable. If you hurt others, try your best to help others. I don't think there is a need for cleanliness in moral matters, and there is no need to be selfless.
It is said that this is an adaptation of a real event. I even think that for the elephant man, birth is painful, and what he has on his body is the real original sin, and he must always pay for the things that were not caused by himself. And, while it's a bit shady to say that, I believe that many people who sympathize with Elephant Man, if he can really become a normal person, will be the first to feel unhappy and hope that he will return to this tragedy.
In fact, if I see a person who looks like a human in reality, I don't dare to say that I will not be afraid and disgusted. I think this is actually normal, but I will not let these emotions show, but instead It is a gesture of equal respect to communicate with him. I think morality does not have to criticize the id too much, but it should try its best to prevent the id from revealing and causing harm to others. This is civilization.
The Elephant Man is a mirror to see what kind of monsters and ghosts are in the bones of gentlemen who are sanctimonious.
In addition, the two leading actors John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins can't really recognize without looking at the cast list. Comrade Hannibal was too handsome when he was young.
