My Review of The Elephant Man
The Elephant man was a great movie, directed by David Lynch, it is about a disfigured man known as the elephant being taken in by Dr. Treves to be examined which lead to unfortunate events. I liked that Lynch made the movie in black and white instead of color as it made things more emotional. Scenes were more intense, more horrific, and more upsetting. The movie can really get you thinking about how people can change, how you change as well. I found myself to be one of those people that are disgusted by the elephant man but his slow introduction into the movie made me adjust and really see that he was just another person as well as the nicest, probably even when he was alive, and best in the movie. The ending, thought to be confusing, weird, even sad, was actually beautiful sure the ending with the mother was kind of weird but he wanted to meet her and he die sadly he knew what he was doing.

Good thoughts! You caught many things that make the film different and interesting. Your observations on change are especially on point. Well done!
