Review of the Elephant Man

            The elephant man was a very unique movie. It made me really have to think critical to truly understand the deep meaning behind the movie. I love movies that have more meaning than that of the literal meaning. One thing I did not like about the movie was that we never really find out what the boy thought. He seemed loyal to Bytes and also seemed like he wanted to help John Merrick. I wish we could have found out more about what was going on in his head. It was very interesting to see the different reactions people had to John Merrick. Some were disgusted, some were intrigued, some were shocked, and some were apathetic. I believe this shows the difference between the good and bad people in the movie. I like how by the end of the movie, someone so hideous is able to be accepted and treated like he is normal person to everyone. This really helps me to believe in our society and the good of the people.
