The virtue the world needs most is tolerance

The film tells the story of a severely deformed person who was unfairly treated by normal people. There are all kinds of normal people in the film. They are famous people, dignitaries, and working class people living in the strata. These people from different strata have a common feature. They all come from deformed elephants. Get what's good for you. Dr. Tvera, who helped the object the most, also used the elephant to do medical research at the beginning. Later, he was moved by the Elephant Man's spirit of still loving life even in the midst of suffering, and then he truly helped him. The people around the Elephant Man, although they have a healthy appearance, hide a deformed heart. At the end of the film, some of the kind-hearted side of humanity is shown in the circus troupe who help the elephant man. At the end of the film, Xiangren paid the price of his life in exchange for sleeping like an ordinary person, expressing his last wish to live a normal life.
The Elephant Man is really ugly. When I first started watching this film, I felt uncomfortable. I think human beings will instinctively reject and resist people who are different from others, but human beings are emotional animals, and they will also be vulnerable to the weak. It produces instinctive love and care, and instinctively praises and moves for kindness. This is what human beings have reason to be proud of. Like human beings, they are human beings. Does the world have to be deformed?
"The virtue that this world needs most is tolerance."
The loud noise of machines in the movie, the thick smoke from factories and trains is the product of industrial civilization, and he blackened the hearts of some people, like a mercenary circus owner whipping Distortion is like human beings. Industry devours civilization and distorts human hearts. Although this is inevitable to some extent, human hearts can be transformed, just like nature.
