My Review on The Elephant Man

The Elephant Man overall was a great film. The acting of John Merrick was great, just thinking of all that he went through as an actor and as a person. The person behind the make up and wardrobe  had gone through hours and hours or make up to make a perfect John Merrick, just thinking of him being under pounds of make up on his face and body is phenominal. Then aside to that, he had to act like the real Elephant Man when cameras were on, so in this scene were the night porter invited all of these random people to see the "freak" and when they poured alcohol on a position where the Elephant Man  cant cope with and will likely suffer, not like he wasn't suffering already, considering his make up was making him extremely sweaty so he did have something to complain about. This movie was really touching, I've seen many modern movies or even movies that were created not so far apart from The Elephant Man, and not one, has had me feeling so emotionally sad because of the torture people created on John. He was a human just like all of us. an unusual appearance but also and unusual heart and knowledge because he was more positive than many other people today.
