My Review of the Elephant Man

In the Elephant man we see the life of a man come to life. The story of John Merrick a man who suffered horrible deformities that led him to be abused and ridicules. We also see the difference in lifestyle that his life takes thanks to Dr. Frederick Treves. I personally think that the Elephant man was one the best movies I have ever see. It inspired me to be a better person and to not judge people by the way they look but by their actions and personalities. It has taught me that people are afraid of what they don't understand sadly John Merrick had to first handedly be exposed to the horrors of society. In this movie I particularly enjoyed the relatability of John Merricks life to that of Christ’s. The use of biblical symbols made the storyline and the actual facts stand out and make understand that there is always the good and the bad and that good people can be bad during certain circumstances in the same bad people can be good.
