Born to be human, but unfair

It mainly tells that the male protagonist is different from ordinary people when he was born, and his body is covered with tumors. He was abandoned by his mother and lived in a circus and was treated like a beast. Later, he was rescued by a kind doctor, which made the "elephant man" feel the warmth of the human heart. Changes, the good times are not long, the elephant person begins to be rumored + the behavior of the gangster + the loss that the "elephant person" is not born to lie down and sleep like ordinary people, and the heart fluctuates and sadness again. At this time, he was deceived by the circus again, and returned to the animal-like life of the past. He was abused and performing tricks. When the elephant was dying, he was rescued by the kind-hearted dwarfs. On the way back to the doctor, the package was relatively tight and attracted attention. , was called a monster by everyone. The most touching part of this scene is the moment when the elephant's inner emotions erupted and resisted. I really couldn't help it. The gratifying thing is that the ending is still relatively happy. The man went back to the doctor again. The actress and the queen introduced the Elephant Man as a friend to the audience at the theater. I think that Elephant Man was happy.

"I am happy all the time because I know someone loves me"

"I found myself"

"Lest faith turn into despair" "Oh, Mr. Merrick, you are no longer an Elephant, you are Romeo" The first time someone said these words to the Elephant, and it was a very beautiful woman, the Elephant burst into tears , tears of happiness and joy (I have watched this movie for a while, and I will remember the clips of the movie. I still want to cry when I am writing this dialogue)

At the beginning of the play, there is a picture of a woman + the roar of an elephant. I am not sure if the performance wants to express that the elephant and the woman did indescribable things that led to the birth of the "elephant man". The opening is still rather vague and unclear; It is a black and white picture presentation + shooting technique, which is very textured and at the same time makes people feel enough depression! Overall it's worth seeing

    Between the carnival curiosity at the bottom and the embarrassing acceptance of the middle and upper classes, the Elephant Man has become another kind of reflection mirror, projecting the distortion and distortion of the "normal" society and self. Whether in the circus or in the hospital, the Elephant Man's deformity has become an absolute difference that cannot be accepted, and only religion can give him some comfort and hope. Elephant Man, to a certain extent, takes on the color of Christ.

    After watching so many movies, I no longer want to make comments on the subject, because more than 90% of the movies are routines, but the packaging is different. This film is different from other David Lynch films in that although he created the monster like Man, it does not probe his heart according to the director's usual artistic preference. In other words, although the elephant man in this film is pretending to be a ghost, mysterious and mysterious, but in essence, it is no different from the various heroes created by Hollywood.
