Inheriting the mantle of German expressionism, the warmth that is rarely seen in the film after the noir shows. The film techniques and styles after Lynch can find their source in this film. The character's movement and framing composition can see Dreyer's legacy, which is very interesting. The soundtrack has a coquettish style throughout. If it weren't for Lynch's film, I would probably think it's more like Tim Burton's work.

The first session of the Suzhou Art Association Restoration Film Festival. Black and white images have a feeling of the old times, when human technology has advanced to have machines and trains; but in an era that is far from gender and racial equality, the existence of the elephant Merrick has tortured everyone's conscience. Emotional man rather than a circus animal, yet too few people in that era treated him with kindness, even doctors, couples and actresses, only more kindly than others of the time. The nurse's response was more genuine, from resistance to love, and more compassion than doctors. I couldn't hold back my tears since Merrick and the doctor and his wife shared photos of each other and started to socialize with each other normally. The wiki has a real person, the circus experience is not much different from the film, but it is equally tragic, with a mild personality, not anti-social or anti-human.
