I'm sorry, Mr. Bais, but what you're doing is profiting from the misfortune of others. That way, you can hit him, you can starve him, and a dog in the street will eat better than following you. Why didn't you tell me you can read? I was terrified. I know. I'm afraid to talk to people, please forgive me. Despite his terrifying appearance, so terrifying that women and the faint of heart would run away when they saw him, and he was forbidden to make a living in any form, but he had an extraordinary intelligence, he could read and write, he was quiet, friendly, and even Call it elegant. As long as you are willing to pay, you can see things you have never seen in your life! I'm just not used to being treated so politely, especially such a beautiful woman. Can you cure me? No, we can take care of you, but we can't cure you. I don't think so either. The hands of the saints allow believers to touch, and the closeness of the palms is far better than a kiss. Let the lips do the work of the hands, they pray and answer, lest faith turn into despair. Oh, Mr. Merrick, you are no longer an elephant man. no? Yes, you are Romeo. It seems that I made Mr. Merrick an exhibit again, didn't I? It's just that this time I was in the hospital, not at the carnival. My name was reported. I was always touted, and patients came to me directly. Of course they will, because you're a good doctor, Merrick is happier than ever, and it's all your work. What is this all for? Why should I do this? What do you want to say? Am I a good person or a bad person? People pay to see your monsters, and I do. You are the monster! You are deformed! Good luck, who needs it more than us? I'm not an animal, I'm not an animal, I'm a man, I'm a man.

    Inheriting the mantle of German expressionism, the warmth that is rarely seen in the film after the noir shows. The film techniques and styles after Lynch can find their source in this film. The character's movement and framing composition can see Dreyer's legacy, which is very interesting. The soundtrack has a coquettish style throughout. If it weren't for Lynch's film, I would probably think it's more like Tim Burton's work.

    The first session of the Suzhou Art Association Restoration Film Festival. Black and white images have a feeling of the old times, when human technology has advanced to have machines and trains; but in an era that is far from gender and racial equality, the existence of the elephant Merrick has tortured everyone's conscience. Emotional man rather than a circus animal, yet too few people in that era treated him with kindness, even doctors, couples and actresses, only more kindly than others of the time. The nurse's response was more genuine, from resistance to love, and more compassion than doctors. I couldn't hold back my tears since Merrick and the doctor and his wife shared photos of each other and started to socialize with each other normally. The wiki has a real person, the circus experience is not much different from the film, but it is equally tragic, with a mild personality, not anti-social or anti-human.

  • Night Porter: [to Treves] Only Mothershead can sack me now.

    [unknown to the night porter, Mothershead is behind him, she who proceeds to clobber him over the head, rendering him unconscious]

    Mothershead: [in a satisfied voice] Done!

  • Dr. Frederick Treves: Because of the extensive area covered by papillomatus growths, the patient has been called "The Elephant Man".
