Stage and auditorium

The Elephant Man is cautiously longing for friends and longing to be accepted by society. No matter how the outside world hurts him, he always maintains a kindness and hope in his heart. It is sad that the poor society gave him the most naked contempt and abuse and the upper society gave him the most false love and care. From the beginning to the end, no one really accepted him, from a hell-like stage to a heaven-like stage, and then fell into the hell stage, and finally thought that he had escaped back to heaven, but it was still a stage. Elephant Man has never been able to step off the stage and be accepted by the society, just like he can't approach the cathedral in person, he can only look from the window and create details by relying on imagination, you seem to be accepted, but the relationship between you is always The distance between the stage and the audience. (It's hard to imagine this is a Lynch movie, very special)
