Review on The Elephant Man

The Elephant Man  was a very interesting film to watch. Personally, I enjoyed it quite a lot since it conveyed a positive message throughout the film. I liked how the film showed how one should not judge someone based on their looks. We see John Merrick who, to be honest, is a deformed being that at first glance does not look human. As the film progresses, we find out that he is a very smart and loving individual that has been mistreated. I think that the movie did a wonderful job showing that. In addition, although it could seem too dramatic at some points, the film included very interesting scenes of John Merrick's dreams/nightmares and his mother. These scenes were very mysterious, and while I was confused at some points, I think they added a very unique touch to the film. The black and white of the film added a nice touch as well as it made everything more dramatic. Even though this film was quite heartbreaking to watch sometimes, I believe that this movie was very well made and John Merrick in The Elephant Man, will be one of my favorites.
