My Review of The Elephant Man

This film was definitely one of my favorites because the script and images were breathe taking. The way John Lynch send across his message on the film was quite unique especially the introduction with the birth of John Merrick. The images in the film were put together perfectly and each had a hidden message behind it. My favorite scene was when John Merrick finally had enough of the constant stares and curiosity and simply yelled "I am not an animal. I am a human being. I am a man." Those simple words took me away and made me emotional during the film because not only had he finally stood up to those who criticized him but also believed that he was no Elephant Man but a simple man. The film all together was a emotional journey for the the characters in the film and even the audience. After the film the thing that I took from it was to appreciate what we have and help those in need because they can be the reason your entire life flips completely.
