@frozensecondpkers Yes sir, He was real alright. This film is an adaption of the book Sir Frederick Treves wrote himself with the same name. :) Very interesting stuff.
@frozensecondpkers Absolutely. :) This story in fact very true indeed. It depends what you mean though...where you referring of "actor" actually being deformed? or if the character existed in real life?
The carnival guy needs to have his ass kicked. Just once I would LOVE to get 10 min. behind a closed door with him....oh please? Can I shove that cane sideways up his...
Poor John. The older nurse making his bed saying how she "really" feels. "Don't you waste your time with him...it's like talking to a brick wall" My God woman! He can still hear you.
This is the first time I've seen this movie and I must say that John Hurt did an amazing job playing John Merrick. When he was walking into the hospital earlier, the way he was breathing and the limp, it was incredible, it seemed so real. I find it hard to believe that the man who played whimsical characters like Quentin Crisp and Caligula was able to portray John Merrick so well. It really adds to the realism and emotion of the film.
Just wanted to say that. Hope your enjoying the movie too <3
@omgiitzjjaclyn well he wasn't a complete idiot...and this is based on his life so I'd say yes...the poor man...he didn't deserve the scornful looks or to be thought of as an idiot without being given the chance....
What a sweet, beautiful man he was. Breaks my heart that he was treated so badly by that awful man.

Why did John remain so silent even after he met Treve? He played the being dumb for a reason, but what is that reason.
