Review of The Elephant Man (1980) by Jhon E — 09 Oct 2012
I have never felt such empathy for a movie character before, and the fact that this is based upon true events and characters, it makes all the more better.
David Lynch brings a lovely tale of a true man, whom was never truly accepted and never felt love. The Elephant Man had one of the most worst lives and this film shows this with imaculate cinemaphotagrahpy and plot.
The film manages to engrose a lot of sadness in this film. How many people sreamed at first sight of him, this is a clever a brutually true observation. The mere fact that this is a true story makes this film better. John Hurt does terrificly at what seems like a loty of make-up and character to live up to. Anthony Hopkins plays his part well, a man whom cares for The Elephant Man and accepts him for what he is, while at the same time exploiting him, which he later regrets.
An imaculate masterpiece...
