My Review of the Elephant Man

The Elephant Man is a very complex movie. It has a very important lesson behind it and it helps us realize who the real animals in life are. John Merricks story is very sad and even though he was seen as a beast in the beginning we come to see how he is the purest person there is. The movie ties in many different ideas, but you have to be aware of every sound and image in order to get it. It makes the audience feel all kinds of different things. The anger and hate felt towards Bytes and the night porter for all the pain they caused him only added to the sympathy felt towards Merrick. Overall, I enjoyed watching the movie because it gets me to think about life and how I can take my state of being for granted.
