OMG!!! NO one in todays society even have the right to say they hate the way they look or to even have the thought of commiting sucide! they dont even throught a QUARTER of what this sweet GODLY MAN went throught !!! this pisses me off so much it feels like my heart was just inflamed with black firery HATRED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Take a good look around people. By human nature we all are drawn into the facination of something that is not of the norm. What you do with it judges you. The essance of a person is not dictated by their apperance but by the character of the individual. This is a classic pitorial of how people in general respond and act and it is disgusting. Next time have some compassion for a fellow human being.
You'd think with how he's been the treated, the hospital would've had some sort of locks made so that those people couldn't intrude on him like that. Poor man.
My favorite scene in this movie, when the doctor truly displays his anger towards someone who ridicules and humiliates and torments John. My favorite line "YOUR THE MONSTER! YOUR THE FREAK!" I just don't think it could have possibly been said ANY better. Honestly, I think this could be said about anybody who goes to extremes to cause pain to others in order to fulfill their egotistical needs
I have trouble watching 1:00 - 5:51. Not only is it Upsetting but, it makes me EXTREMELY ANGRY!! I Don't Care Who You Are!! NO ONE DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT! THEN OR NOW!!!
My heart breaks every time I watch this part. I feel so bad for Mr. Merrick. He probably thinks nobody in the world cares about him, he meets some wonderful people at the hospital...just getting his life back together and all of a sudden, that stupid tourist guide has to come in and undo EVERYTHING...then leaves the door open for the circous freak to come in and take him away. Way to go genious.
I can't stop laughing at that old man sucking on those prostitute's faces! I know its sick but kind of ironic that John Merrick has more dignity than these two women!
@jestersfrown In the words of Uncle Waldo from "The Aristocats", "You'll wake up the WHOLE neighborhood!" I'll bet the two women were human equivalents of Abigale and Amelia.
thumbs up if your confused how no one else but that boy could hear the comotion that was going on in that room!? and why doesnt the hospital lock up at night? cause then anyone could go in there and STEAL hospital equipment. so its kinda the hospitals fault for not protecting their patients.
I believe shel silverstein says it best Small as a peanut, Big as a giant, We're all the same size When we turn off the light. Rich as a sultan, Poor as a mite, We're all worth the same When we turn off the light. Red, black or orange Yellow or white, We all look the same When we turn off the light. So maybe the way To make everything right Is for God to just reach out And turn off the light! -- Shel Silverstein
Having seen this as a kid, this scene is a bit freaky (no pun intended) - even today it's still pretty powerful. The music heightens it tremendously...
I can't believe there are people in this world that get a kick out of torturing people like this. Boy, wish I would have been there. i'd kick some ass and see how they like it!
I think alot of people have been picked on some to a greater degree than other . African americans and indians were treated just as bad as the elephant man because of their race. Predjudice is SIn. Christ taught us to love one another regardless of how we look and our Race. Racism comes from satan.
people mistreated our lord jesus christ. If people mistreated the king of kings what do you think they will do to the average joe. or someone like the Eleephant Man.
those people are fucking horrible. they should have been charged for what they did if they weren't :( i'm balling my eyes ourt i love you Mr. Merrick!
I know this scene is ficticious, but it is still deeply upsetting. I cant ever watch it, and have to skip it.
Saying that, know one knows what humilations Joseph did suffer, esp while in the workhouse, poor soul, while I am sure it was nothing like this.
I love the way Hurt ''make believes'' with the dressing case, not unlike Joseph would do in private, acting out the life he should have had - the handsome young man about to go out ''on the town''. So sweet, and so poignant.
I fucking hate them people who do that to him for fuck sake even if he looks diffrent thats no reason to treat him like this even if he wasnt a human he is still a living thing1
thanks, you have just given everyone here a classic example of why the human race sucks.
your the kinda person who would have treated the guy in this flick like a freak.
Grow up kid and just learn to leave people who are different to you alone, it doesnt make you clever, or tough, or funny, it just makes you seem like a total dick.
No, I felt for the elephant man, nearly cried even. Just thought you're a weird person is all. Maybe you're treated in some manner similar to the elephant man and I feel for you too. :(
Cheer up son maybe someday you'll rise above the ranks and do wonders for the world too.
bytes and the tour guide did this because they are uneducated, they don't know how he is. the first time i saw it with my father he told me that dr.treves and his wife were able to stand his sight sicne they knew what he had suffered.
I really fucking hate that tour guide. They were making Joseph lay on his back and pouring the alcohol on him (he cant breath if he lays on his back). I hope everyone that was laughing at him burns in hell.
fuck that bastard AND GO THE NURSE LADY THAT BONKED HIM ON THE HEAD HAHAHAHAHAH LOLOLOL THAT WAS SO FUNNY and if i merrick i would flick that guy off thats what they need to teach him
didn't they lock fuckin hospitals back then? wtf
