This scene is particularly upsetting because it is after he was rescued from the horrendous prison/circus and torture and treated with dignity. Then he's re kidnapped and horribly victimized. And to think people really did this to him
@keliata The film is not accurate, it is only a film, while very moving. While ''exhibiting himself'' he did not suffer horrendous torture, but was respected &made friends - for example. In my opinion, the worst parts of his life were after his mother died, his 4 years in the workhouse, and when he was abandoned in Belguim &had to make his way back to England. He was actually REFUSED passage on the first boat...If you want to really know about Joseph, read the excellent bio by Howell and Ford.
The dude in the beginning appears that he will get a piece of ass when he gets home. Is this what crusty old men in Britain had to do to get laid though?
How can a man as a poor ding so tormented? When I see something I think the people as disrespectful but can be! Even when I was in film school saw me the shot tears in the eyes ... I could correct this shopkeeper in his face one in the town .. Joseph Merrick I'm so sorry!!
I hope, in a nother life, all you fuckers who thin k this movie is funny, become inflicted with his sickness, and you get treated like he was. Do youpeople realize this is what reallyhappened to him? he was a fucking personwith feelings! and if youcouldn't care about him, then no one should care about you!
nope, you shouldn't. Its cruel and only rude, mean bullying people who do not give a shit about what others may feel say rotten things about people like him, who can't help the way he was born and treated.
there is nothing funny at all about what that poor man went through. you are all horrible. you couldn't even imagine how brave and strong he must have been.
CHill the fuck down people,it's not real!The action of the film is very loosely based on real facts.What you see in the movie(and therfore this clip) hasn't happened!DO go saying "i hope those ppl burn in hell" and shit like that..it's just THE MOVIE!
These are the kind of things that makes me stop believing in God. It just makes me sick how people can think they have a bad life. Look at this man, he lived for almost 40 years, with his disability.
Ah yes, it is quite clear that there never was or is a god. Even now, mistreatment of such poor outcasts occurs every day, and praying does them no good.
If you pause this at 1:04 you can see two very creepy hidden faces.
One is between the dark haired girl's ear and John, it looks like someone laughing. The other looks like the nose and mouth of a fat man grinning, semi hidden in the blonde's curls.
I watched the vid over just to see if it was people in the background or reflections and it's definitely not. Truly freaky
duh! it was crule for both of them i tell ya tho id hate to be the girl and id hate to be the guy i fel sorry for they guy the most and im on my account now not my mums kissme1980 is my mums but this accounts mine
they treated this gentle man like an animal! i hope they burn in hell for making a mockery of him, Joeseph merrick put up with it, its just so sad what this man, this creature of beauty went through, his life, I hope these people burn in hell for eternaty words canot describe my anger right now
im glad that there are people like you in the world that care about others than theirselfs i saw another youtube video of him and one of the posts said that hes ugly it makes me sick how everybodys mind is so hindered by the thought of appearences that we have to think of a name to call others for being diferent
i curse to hell the man that made this video and exploited his disease damn him joseph merrick was a god among men and he was nothing but scum for exploiting his appearance
it was a biopic showing the hardship he suffered, all of which was caused by others in society. it wasn't negative to Merrick; watch the trailer and you can see the light he is portrayed in - search "The Elephant Man Movie Trailer"
how dare you for one he is not a freak he has a very rare disease that deforms his appearance the real freaks are the ones that use the term on people like him
I hate that people in the video...when i think that theres is people like that in real life i feel really sad..i think its so stupid to be mean with some1 just cause hes ugly...its STUPID
God, some people are such pieces of shit, it makes me sick seeing those people making those wisecracks about him.
But in reality the sideshow manager he worked with in England was extremely nice to him. It's the one that he went to after sideshows were banned that fucked him over with his money.
i know this guy but, was that him? Or was it some sort of crappy mickey take cos i don't think he would do that and filming with sound wasn't around then.
hey toommmy. that man was real. he was actually inteligent, unlike you. if i ever saw anyone laughing at him, i would bust em' up. whole thing is STFU TOOMMMY
He wasn't born like that, but he had a congenital disease called Proteus' syndrome and was a very serious case. His brain was totally normal, though, he was a very intelligent man.
Yuck! freaks don't have the rigth to have sex with normal people! Or ever have sex. It's yust nasty. They should eather shoot the freaks or put them in chages and never let them out. And no bullshit about saving them with plastic surgery
So what your saying is only the pretty people survive.
What if you developed the diesease he had? and still had full use of your brain. Are you saying someone has the right to shoot you or put you in a cage?
yeah but after he died his soul went to heaven, for God saw that he was good and asked, "Shall I reincarnate you?" In John's heart he knew he wanted back, this time a stud, so he came back "ARNOLD"!!
I only have one childhood fear - and that is The Elephant Man (John Merrick). I know it's silly because the film is a heart rendering and beautiful story, but it terrifies me to the point of tears!!
P.S. Not alot people actually don't know that John Merrick wasn't the victim depicted in this film - He was actually quite a shrewed business man place himself in the sideshow industry, charging a handsome sum to be seen and died a rather wealthy man!
Er, not quite, but you're half right. JOSEPH (yeah, everyone gets his name wrong, common mistake) did very much put himself in the sideshow business purposefully, accumulated about 50 pounds (a LOT at the time), but it was robbed from him by a manager who left him in Belgium. He traveled from there all the way back to London, quite destitute, at which point reality (mostly) returns to that stated in the movie at the train station.
