Eine Geschichte eines Außenseiters. When talking about the difference and connection between Außenseiter and Sonderling in literature class, both terms refer to the odd person, while the former emphasizes the person's exclusion from society rather than his own abnormality. Elephant Man is different from ordinary people due to his natural deformity, and the joking or frightened stares and inhuman treatment around him even exclude this gentle and well-mannered young man from society: he escaped and was treated as an exhibit in the circus The gaze of the upper class has ushered in the gaze of the upper class; the gaze of the upper class is gone, and what can never be ignored is the ugly part and the painful expression of my own face reflected in the mirror - what am I? who? At the end of the story, facing the pressing crowd, he issued a declaration: I'm not animal! I AM HUMAN BEING! I am A man! From now on, he is no longer an elephant man, Elephant man, he is the first time back John Merrick.

    Quite touching. The guys who taunt, wonder, and take pleasure in torturing the Elephant Man are even worse. The director deliberately made the overall tone dark, black and white, and desolate, as if to set off and highlight Merrick's situation. It's just that I've been wondering, in biology, is something like a human possible? When I read the statement at the end, it turned out to be a biography, which surprised me. In any case, from a humanitarian standpoint, such a deformed child should not be born, lest it suffer for a lifetime; however, once it is born and survives, treat him well and give him warmth. 10 points.

    "People are often intimidated by what they don't understand." "And you're no longer Elephant. No? Yes. You're Romeo."
