My Review of The Elephant Man

To me, The Elephant Man was an amazing movie. The way they did the movie was great, such as having it in black and white – even though color was already being used in movies- which helped with the setting of the movie. The characters were great, especially John Merrick, the elephant man. While in the beginning, he is shown to be a bit of an idiot, you later on learn that he is quite intelligent and a very nice. He always is trying to do is best and ever since Dr. Treves took him to the hospital, he seemed to be very happy by all that they had done since before everyone was terrified of him. It seemed great when John was able to get back to the hospital after he was taken away by bytes. One thing that sort of got to me was the end, after he had completed making the church; he decided to try to sleep like a normal person, knowing very well that he would die by asphyxiation by trying to, yet in the end, he did it. Overall, I’d say that the movie was great and was enjoyable.
