Elephant Man Review

I really enjoyed the film The Elephant Man. It had tremendous imagery and makeup design. John Merrick was my favorite character of the film. At the beginning of the film us as the audience are frightened by John Merrick but as the movie goes on we grow more sympathetic towards him and begin to care for him. We learn that he isn’t an animal but a human being that deserves to be treated as one. The whole cast of characters is interesting and the all pull of solid performances. The only minor con about this movie is that in the beginning the pace is very slow however is picks up and gets very interesting. My favorite part of the movie would have to be when John Merrick gets a standing ovation at the theater that he attended. It is very touching that people would do this. The most chilling part of the movie would have to be when John Merrick shouts that he is a “Human Being”
