Review of The Elephant Man

This was one of the best movies i have seen. It was very eye opening and very sad. I really love how the characters, most of them, evolved throughout the movie. Especially, Dr. Treves, he really showed a great improvement in his character. He started as the man showing John off to his colleagues to not hesitating to hug John. I am not going to lie and say i was not shocked when i saw the deformity John had, but i was not disgusted. I am a bit squirmy so yes i could not look at John for too long because i would get super squirmy. As the movie, progressed i fell in love with him. He is truly an amazing person. John Merrick is simply beautiful. He is this adorable, human who loves to build Cathedrals and watch plays. When he spoke for the first time, i felt an emotion i cannot pinpoint, but i felt warm. I felt sadness because of the way he was treated but the fact that John did not let that affect his happiness and was still happy even after everything truly shows the type of person he is. Overall, this movie was really good, it made me realize that no matter how you look you are human.
