The Elephant Man is unfortunate, born with severe deformities, and the damage to his appearance also takes away his dignity as a human being. He was a moneymaker for greedy and lazy people, he was brutally beaten, subjected to inhuman abuse and giggles, he was locked in a cage with animals, and he was labeled "Even if you die, I will not Will bury your rotten flesh" vicious words.
Lucky for the Elephant Man, a doctor found and rescued him, lovingly sheltering him in a room on the top floor of the hospital, clean bed, bedside table, paintings, gentleman's clothing and walking stick, and a personal nurse who takes care of him every day . He received the respect he deserved, and at the same time began to speak with the encouragement and guidance of the doctor, slowly opening the door of his humble heart to the limit.
If according to the rabble, the group psychology fluctuates and shows amazing consistency in a period of time, as well as the fluctuation of moral level, visualization, irresponsibility, and loss of rational level, because the elephant Man, it's all well confirmed. Those who paid to watch, those who whipped and slandered him, those who abused him, those who put him in the highest respect, the aristocratic class who invited him to have tea as a guest. This positive and negative, both reflect the characteristics of group psychology.
When he was surrounded by everyone and took off his hood, everyone was stunned. He tried his best to speak: I am a person, not an animal, I am a man. At this moment, all the strange eyes and actions disappeared in the group in an instant, everyone slowly dispersed, the police took him back to the hospital where he was kidnapped, and he regained the life he deserved. . It can be seen from this that respect is definitely something that you place on yourself.
David Lynch narrated all this in a plain and objective tone, and I choked several times along the way, over the tragic experience of the Elephant Man and his lack of dignity.
