My Review on The Elephant Man

The Elephant Man was a very inspiring true story about John Merrick that made me realized everyones the same despite whats on the outside. Due to that, i liked the movie because it taught me a valuable lesson. Not only did i like it, but thought it was well produced with the sound, the screen play, and the make up. The movie was very serious and depicted the life of John Merrick who was deformed but lived an amazing life because of Dr. Treves. Dr. Treves was my favorite character in the Elephant Man because he changed John Merricks life. It demonstrates that we, as humans, can change anyones life by simply accepting who they are instead of making a circus out of them. Although it had a tragic ending, John Merrick died happily after he built his Cathedral and therefore i thought it was an inspiring movie. One of the best old films I have ever seen. I would definitely recommend people to watch this!

My name is John Merrick

Why do people always decide to pick on me? Is as if they view me as an animal. I am not an animal, my name is John Merrick and i look a bit different from people. Everyone always talks about equality and not segregating, but contradict themselves once they see me. Today, people decided to chase me until i reached a dead end in the restroom and pushed my limits to the point where i had to express myself. This makes me feel like a circus animal because i cant go anywhere without being discriminated and looked on upon. I wish people can accept me for who I am and not make fun of who I am. I didn't chose to be born like this and its not my fault people want to look and stare at me. People wouldn't like it if they were being chased around and made fun of, so why would anyone want to do it to me? Is it because I look different? I mean EVERYONE looks different in their own way.
