False Humanitarian Care
The high society, or the "gentlemen" with decent jobs, had the greatest goodwill towards John in respect. Even though he is afraid/disgusted/resisted/has a certain purpose, he still faces/talks/applauds gracefully, without mentioning John's difference, but he has never really accepted him. It is a kind of high pity, touching Own.
deformed humanity
The owner of the circus, the person who broke into the hospital to "peek" at the Elephant Man, discriminated against/played with John outright, and suddenly trampled on John's basic dignity as a "human". Even for profit, the normal appearance, deformed human nature, put selfish desires on the table to sell.
Only people like you can truly feel you
In this movie, I feel the real kindness is the same person as John, the group of "dwarfs"/"giants" with physical defects, who saved him in the cage, gave John the opportunity to resist, and called him affectionately He is "friend", not "elephant man"/"patient".
John was invited to watch the part of the play and loved it. The deformed face/the graceful figure of the dancer/the audience sitting in front of the stage appreciating the performance, compared with John's previous performance in the circus, the characteristics of class shape are extremely obvious. In the end, John stood up generously to accept the applause, facing the audience, I think at this time, he should really accept himself.
