I have always heard the episode of this "Elephant Man" movie before, but I haven't watched the original film for a long time. I happened to see this movie on BBC iplayer today and just made up for the original.
It's hard to watch this movie without empathy, like the doctor in the movie who tears in his eyes when he sees John. Watching him get better bit by bit, saying a simple "Hello", reciting words from the Bible, making friends with doctors, showing pictures of his mother to friends, building a model of a church out of the window with cards, accepting theater jobs A visit from a lady who had sent her a photo of herself with her mother's, and the line she sent her from "Romeo and Juliet". The lady gave John a kiss and told him "you are not an elephant man at all." "No?" "No. You're Romeo." Compared with this sentence, which gave John a lot of confidence, this Maybe that's why he was able to face the crowd and shout "No! I am not an elephant! I am not an animal! I am a human being! I am a man!"
He's a real gentleman. Those ordinary people with bright appearance or "normal appearance" not only deprive him of his right to live in this world normally as a life, but also treat him as a toy to make fun of and money to make. tool. John wants to lie down and sleep like a normal human being, wants to really take a look at the church not far from the window, wants to go to the theatre and see a great show, he wants to talk and express himself, but he's scared, like when people see By the time he screamed, panicked, contained, trying to drive this "monster" out of their normal lives. In the movie, John says that people are afraid of things they can't understand. Try to understand them. Everyone is different, but they are more different than most people. If they exist in this world, they should have the corresponding right to a normal life.
Speaking of this movie, I also thought of the recent news that guide dogs were rejected from public transportation. Most able-bodied people take most of the convenience, and it also prevents people with disabilities from getting the normal life they deserve. Since guide dogs as working dogs can help the blind group to travel more conveniently, they should not be refused to travel with them. From childhood to adulthood, although I have seen Braille books in the library and passed by massage parlors for the blind, I still rarely see blind people on the street, not to mention that blind roads are occupied by vehicles and blocked by stone piles. But what we need to do is not just sympathy, sympathy is because they have not been treated fairly, we need to help them get the right to justice, then sympathy will no longer exist, it is the ordinary life of individuals living in this world That's it.
We are all human beings, not animals, not plants, no matter how special we are, we are just human beings. Be warm and friendly, people.
