It's so weird to see the scene where Anthony Hopkins sees the elephant man in his cell for the first time>>>>>It reminds me of the scene when Hopkins was Hanibal Lecter in HIS creepy cell in "The Silence of the Lambs". It's because both scenes were dark and had old brick walls in the background.......LOL
i think i know why he is called "John" in Dr treves journels, you see lots and lots of people dont give their names right away so in the grand scheme of things you either name them "john" or "jane"
Anthony Hopkins face at 1:40 with the tear rolling down his cheek. Amazing. His performance in this IMHO is infinitely greater than Hannibal Lechter because of all the little subtleties and nuances.
@brianCIM The two performances are indeed fine and flawless but should not be compared. Treves was a character who found humanity in what he considered, at first, to be idiotic and subhuman (using "it" instead of "he"). Hannibal was a psychotic, and quietly sexual, deviant who acted upon horrid desires and needs. Both films are fantastic.
This movie made me weep when I was 7 years old. My father said it just showed I have a big heart. It still breaks my heart to see how cruel people can be to others.
Maybe his purpose of existence is to make us all appreciate what we DO have! Maybe we should complain less about having pimples, freckles, a lazy eye, or missing body parts...we've all got problems...but at least we can live a normal life. Some people don't have that luxury.
Joseph Merrick RIP. Youre an inspiration to me to live life happily. You'll always be in my heart. You were treated bad by people who mocked, made fun of you and never loved you but you were always kind and loving and wise in knowledge. I hope I can find a copy of this movie on DVD cause its a masterpeice hands down!!!!
@princess4life49 you poor pitiful thing. everyone fears what they dont understand, and it's in the most ugliest and disgusting things that if you rise above that stupid notion that we find ourselves some of the most unique and beautiful things.
Bytes had Treves figured out from the beginning, even enough to feel some kind of weird kinship with him. He is just Treves in a dark mirror, which us why Treves is such a good film character. Even after his "Am I a good man or a bad man?" speech, you are not really sure.
well since this is something he has never seen he takes pity upon his appearence and is very sorry for him and ow he is treated by the cruel care taker in his codition. Bytes was bastard.
at 2:48 love the way the people are all yakking on in the waiting room, and then it falls silent and the sister looks up to see whats wrong. Brilliant script this.
of course they are very dangerous but havent you heard of the white rabbit??? The most deadliest animal ever! (as seen in Monty Python´s The Holy Grail)
these types of movies are sad when a normal society person has a good life and they form a partnership with someone with a disability or illness, theres just something about them.certain movies like philedelphia,green mile, leaving los vegas,this is the first of its time
2:15 Thought they were gonna get frisky o.O
