My Review of The Elephant Man

Don't let the Title fool you!!! The Elephant Man is not a movie about a A half man half Elephant, its about The life of Joseph Merrick when He meets Dr. Fredrick Treves. The movie released was in 1980 by Director David Lynch, whats odd about this film is that it's still in black and white which was rare because in the 80's there were colored films. I give this movie a 9\10 because it was a great work of art that is currently praised as one of the best films in cinema history. When watching the Elephant man we see how badly John Merrick is treated by the rest of society, everybody believes that John is a freak. Dr. Fredrick Treves uses John at first for his use but later through out the film cares for John. One part from the film that spoke to me was when John came back from Paris to London, John starts to get followed by a group of people and they surround him in a corner. John screams out I am not a Freak!!! I am a human being!! That scene really spoke to me because John was a good man but no one would really care about how John Merrick was in the inside but how he was in the outside. Merrick
