From Dr. Treves back to the hospital from the circus owner who used the Elephant Man as a profit tool, nursing, observing and diagnosing the Elephant Man disease, and bringing this special case of the Elephant Man to the doctor's meeting, bringing the Elephant Man's disease The whole body was academically analyzed. Then it attracted the attention of many nobles in the press and came to contact the elephant man. However, the discomfort of several nobles can be seen.
Later, Dr. Treves sat alone in the dark and reflected on whether he had become a person of the same nature as a circus owner. At the same time, an employee in the hospital used the elephant man as a profit tool in an underground form. At night, they brought people who were curious about the real face of the Elephant Man out of the window of the Elephant Man’s room, or even brought him into the room to abuse the Elephant Man. When the Elephant Man was frightened and had an asthma attack, he poured alcohol on him, pressed the woman’s head and kissed the Elephant Man, humiliating him. .
After the Elephant Man was taken away by the circus owner again, and after he screwed up in front of the bottom people, he was locked in a cage, separated from the monkey by a layer of iron net, and the Elephant Man was indifferent, as if he had long been used to being treated as an animal by others Treated like a beast. It also happened that he was rescued that night by a group of people who were performing in a circus with a deformed appearance.
When the Elephant Man was teased by the teenagers on the street and followed and asked why his head was so big, and then when the mask was lifted, it caused an uproar and chase from everyone. Until the Elephant Man had no way to escape, facing the group of high-sounding people Shout out, "I'm not an animal! I'm a person!"
From the perspective of human nature, these sanctimonious people are the real "elephant people".
Later, the Elephant Man returned to the hospital and accompanied the Princess to the theater to watch the performance. After Ms. Kendal introduced "Mr. John Merrick" to the entire theater, after the Elephant Man hesitated and stood up, the entire theater audience stood up and applauded to show their respect .In my personal opinion, this is the climax of the whole show, and it is also the most moving place.
For the Elephant Man, who was seen as an animal in the past, every frame of this night's performance is precious to him. From David Lynch's shooting technique, it is also clear that the Elephant Man's eyes are full of dazzling sense. , and saw the shadow of himself being tortured and imprisoned from the stage.
After the Elephant Man completed the church work that night, he glanced at the picture frames on the wall and took off the pillows on the bed one by one. Suddenly he realized what the original circus owner said: "If he lies down, he would kill himself."
The elephant lay down like an ordinary person, closed his eyes, saw his mother in the starry sky in his dream, and fell asleep like this forever.
