The Elephant Man.

Despite of having an uncanny resemblance with Frankenstein, it not only stands alone but surpasses the character's innocence and depth to an extent where it is not possible to be moved by it for its impact grows stronger after each frame as it ages on screen. Having said that, a smart adaptation by Christopher De Vore, Eric Bergren and David Lynch is written explicitly offering enough stage and range to each and every character to factor in effectively, is the key to it. And the rest of it is left on David Lynch; the director, whose brilliant execution ups the ante of the feature and enters it onto the major league. As mentioned earlier, the feature scores majestically on performance objective that is fulfilled satisfactorily by John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins. The Elephant Man is one of those rare features that happened to have everything in the right place like brilliant execution, stellar performance, perfect editing, amazing background score and above all the simplest yet pragmatic ideology that connects instantly to the audience.
