Review of The Elephant Man (1980) by Diganta B — 28 Dec 2010
'Tis true my form is something odd,.
But blaming me is blaming God;.
Could I create myself anew.
I would not fail in pleasing you.
If I could reach from pole to pole.
Or grasp the ocean with a span,.
I would be measured by the soul;.
The mind's the standard of the man.
â"poem used by Joseph Merrick to end his letters.
Was a great story to symbolize a lot, but could have been made a little better or more emotional...
Best dialogues.
1. I am not an elephant! I am not an animal! I am a human being! I am a man!
2. People are frightened by what they don't understand.
3. Never. Oh, never. Nothing will die. The stream flows, the wind blows, the cloud fleets, the heart beats. Nothing will die.
