My Review of the Elephant Man

The Elephant Man, directed by David Lynch, is an emotional film about the hardships of an unlucky man named John Merrick. John Merrick was a man with severe deformities, because of various diseases that he acquired since childhood. Merrick was brought back to a state where he could speak again without fear of what others will do. This film has shown that people who do not look like the ideal person are not freaks, but those who do not follow basic morality are the real freaks. Merrick, seriously malformed from head to toe, is a generous and humble man, who does not complain or is rude to anybody, even with all the nightmare like events that had happened to him throughout his life has changed this man, making him not a freak. But those who have abused Merrick both physically and physiologically are the real freaks in life.
