I think people should read the book before the movie, even though the movie was made before book. So I hope these answer some of y'alls questions:
@powergirl07 Treves wanted a name in the medical department, so displaying The Elephant man sort of made Treves have a name in the game.
@copnite12342 Bytes was John's "Owner" and Treves wanted to examine John and study him, so Treves "hired" John. Bytes is a drunk so he just started to beat John when he came back.
Brilliant film. It surprised me at first, When people think "David Lynch" the first thing that comes to their mind is a Director that uses many different techniques involving a Dark Ambient atmosphere with very little dialogue that hardly ever makes sense. That's not really the case here. The fact that he can turn any type of film using only his pure-dark imagination is something that will always inspire me. Elephant man is one of those films that doesn't involve that formula, yet it's so eerie!
He thinks the Doctor is going to slice him up or poke and prod him etc. Guy has been used like a napkin his entire life and this is just another person that wants to use him. But this Doctor is HUMAN, he does want to study him, but his Humanity tells him that the way he has been treated is one million times worse then his physical appearence.
I have always thought him to be a handsome man, even in his later years to date... This is the first movie I had ever seen him in... his voice is unmistakable.... love his voice. He brings a regalness to any role he plays in, even as Hannibal Lector
So the only thing that wasn't affected by the congenital disorder were the left arm and the reproductive system (dick and nuts) Didn't see that comin'.
The actual reason there was emphasis put on his genitals being intact was this: in The Victorian era there were a lot of ideas floating about (Darwinism, Eugenics etc) that only the fittest survive, or can pass on their genes etc....the fact The Elephant mans genitals were perfect, & cud procreate flew in the face of alot of these theories which some of Treves peers were promulagating at the time...Treves took issue with some of the extreme eugenics theories
not really, it was infront of a medically trained and mature audiance. They showed the deformities to identify what they were, tumor ect to get a better spectrum on how to help him
I got it download for ~ 4days ago. But it appear that the movie was a Trojan (Virus that track ur cash numbers etc). So I need to find a new torrent now.
Can someone tell me, why the history of this is 100% true, but the fact that they call him John not Joseph as his name is? I mean, in the start I just thought it was a nicname og Joseph, but thats what they call him through the whole movie... Please tell me if you know
Hey, I don't mean to be pushy, but I was showing this movie to my kids. I was wondering if we'd be able to see the rest of it any time soon. I saw this when I was much younger and it was very, very good! I want to see it again. Sorry to be a nag. But Please put it up soon. Thanks. =)
All that want more of this masterpice, will be needed for wait a litle while. I'm terrible sorry to say it, but I have rebot my PC. and I will start a new KDX server and get it from the server. Then I put up the rest, you can count on that around 5-7days the full movie will be on.
