Review of the Elephant Man

The Elephant Man by David Lynch is a great film. Although being a black and white movie, you can enjoy and learn from watching it. The Elephant man being John Merrick a 21year old man who looks odd from others is a great person, though people are not good to him. By this film we can see how John Merrick goes through tough things, David Lynch puts the film dramatic at times. Mr. Bytes would have John Merrick in a freak show, an embarrassing place to be at. He would have John Merrick standing for people could see him. Mr.Bytes treated John Merrick horrible, but he ended up going to the London Hospital. Dr.Frederick Treves was the man who took John Merrick to the London Hospital. It was a good cause but not every part of that was good. It was after into the movie when Dr.Treves really got know and like John Merrick, they became Friends. This film reminds me of everyday life, on how people "Judge a book by its cover" meaning they judge just by the physical looks. People get disgusted and look at John Merrick weird when I believe it shouldn't be like that because just like John Merrick said "I am a human being" he was a human and shouldn't be treated different.

  1. Your grammar is a little clumsy in this post, but I see what you mean. I’m glad you thought people could enjoy the movie even though it was in black and white, but why do you suppose the filmmakers made that choice? I’m glad you realized the lesson the film could teach.
