The Elephant man was a good movie. I believe the purpose of the movie was very great and humane. Although John Merrick was hideous and considered a monstrosity, he was quite adequate and intelligent. The whole movie just came to show on how looks aren't everything. Though it is very cliche, the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover", easily applies to this movie. The movie reflected alot on moral standing and compassion throughout each other. As John did not wish to be born that way, he had to live with being deformed and an eye soar; wishing to be normal. The movie shows the struggles of John Merrick the elephant man, as hr cannot find happiness within himself, to love himself. When Dr. Treves offers a helping hand, that is when John becomes happy and filled with hope of a new life. In my opinion, the whole movie was metaphoric. A man is different, so cruel people laugh or run in horror without knowing the true beauty inside. The movie reflected on the shallowness of people, and their thirst to be amused by someone elses pain.
