My Review of the Elephant Man

I think David Lynch is a brilliant man.  The Elephant Man was an exceptional movie that deserved many academy awards, but only got as far as getting eight nominations and not one award.  This movie was really touching and heart felt movie.  I don't think it only touched me, but my classmates as well.  Personally I loved the movie for its creativity and make up.  After reviewing the movie after finishing it, I thought more about the mysteries of life and if people are morally good or bad people.  The Elephant Man is about a deformed man who seeks for help to get cured.  He is treated like a circus freak and is frequently being beat by Mr. Bytes.  Here comes Dr. Frederick Treves to the rescue and takes him to a care facility.  Dr. Treves and others eventually learn that he is human and he does humanly things such as: speak, write and build models.  David Lynch made the Elephant Man as an ugly christ symbol for a reason.  He is ugly and deformed because of the fact that the world is ugly as well, meaning that there are some good things on this planet that eventually turned bad.  At the end of this movie, John Merrick dies in his sleep because he wanted to sleep like everyone else.
