Elephant Man

Not my favorite influence style, but the film is indeed a very profound film.
Different people have different attitudes towards like people, and this attitude is gradually changing over time.
From fear to curiosity, from humiliation to rejection. The gift of the upper class is more like a kind of sympathy with a sense of superiority, while the undisguised disgust of the people in the market is a direct and cruel manifestation of the estrangement between the elephant and the human society, or the distance between him and his own desires.
It is the wish of elephants to integrate into human society, but it is full of euphemistic hypocrisy and direct vulgarity. Although they have a normal appearance, the ugliness of their hearts cannot be compared with the purity and simplicity of elephants.
