The Elephant Man

The Elephant Man is so disturbing — and so successful — because it makes you think about the privilege and oppression in a bottom-line way.

Very compassionate yet hard to watch at times with a twist of David Lynch flair

broke my heart as a kid, i couldn’t understand how people could be so cruel

7/10

John Merrick is no elephant man at all!

Profoundly moving and one of the most definitive masterpieces I’ve seen in a while. I wouldn’t be hard pressed to call it perfect. Some of the best performances and makeup ever. The very best and very worst of humanity on show, a film everyone should see in their lifetime
