After reading so many comments above, everyone is talking about human nature, compassion, Lynch's technical style, etc. What's even more mysterious is that some people say that it is retribution for the British colonial history~~ Why is no one talking about John Mo What about Rick's own inner feelings? For him, his greatest wish is to be treated and treated like a normal person, that is, to be treated as a "person". To know how strong his heart must be to maintain such an astonishing tranquility and peace after all kinds of inhuman tortures? ! ! ! This is the most beautiful thing in his heart, and it is these things that have earned him the true respect of good people! ! ! He was able to say goodbye to the world without regret at the end, leaving the world as a "person".
Everyone has a personality. This is the foundation of everyone's standing in society. Although there are many unsatisfactory things in life, in essence, people still treat you as a human being. Being despised and despised by others has already made normal people feel that their dignity has been defaced and their hearts have been hurt, not to mention a person like Morik who has always been mocked or feared as a monster! His life was unimaginably tragic, which is why Hopkins shed tears the first time he saw him. The dean said "I hope he is retarded", because what a great courage it takes for a person with normal reason to face reality like Morrick! Face the eyes of others! face yourself! ! ! However, what is even more touching is that Morrick is not only rational and normal, but also very rich in heart and emotion. His heart is very firm and peaceful because of his belief. This is what a truly beautiful mind is, in stark contrast to his appearance. And although some people have bright faces, there are real demons in their hearts! Isn't this pure soul that moves us in this way?

    Although ordinary people have a healthy appearance, they hide a deformed heart

    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 Elephant Man quotes

  • Night Porter: [to Treves] Only Mothershead can sack me now.

    [unknown to the night porter, Mothershead is behind him, she who proceeds to clobber him over the head, rendering him unconscious]

    Mothershead: [in a satisfied voice] Done!

  • Dr. Frederick Treves: Because of the extensive area covered by papillomatus growths, the patient has been called "The Elephant Man".
