Eine Geschichte eines Außenseiters. When talking about the difference and connection between Außenseiter and Sonderling in literature class, both terms refer to the odd person, while the former emphasizes the person's exclusion from society rather than his own abnormality. Elephant Man is different from ordinary people due to his natural deformity, and the joking or frightened stares and inhuman treatment around him even exclude this gentle and well-mannered young man from society: he escaped and was treated as an exhibit in the circus The gaze of the upper class has ushered in the gaze of the upper class; the gaze of the upper class is gone, and what can never be ignored is the ugly part and the painful expression of my own face reflected in the mirror - what am I? who? At the end of the story, facing the pressing crowd, he issued a declaration: I'm not animal! I AM HUMAN BEING! I am A man! From now on, he is no longer an elephant man, Elephant man, he is the first time back John Merrick.

    Notice the numerous depictions of steam engines (industrial) in the film: the rumble of mechanical gears under the great clock; black smoke billowing from the chimney; shirtless workers pushing machines; Dr. Trevis on the operating table To a patient suffering from a work-related injury, saying, "These odious machines, you can't reason with them"... This is obviously the subject of alienation of people, in contrast to the superficial alienation of elephants. Alienation is also a consistent theme of David Lynch. However, the film's correspondence between the civilization and humanity (albeit hypocritical) at the top and the vulgarity and lack of sympathy at the bottom, especially the emphasis on "Christian conscience", makes the film seem weak and powerless. Despite the use of a lot of British actors, the film is still very American, which is a pity.

    Classes are divided by language. We also rely on language to understand people. To be accepted by a group, we must first learn how the group behaves.
