I never thought of Anthony Hopkins as handsome, but he is definitely handsome here.

I know that they were trying to help him, but it was horrible displaying him and pointing out his deformoties.

@copnite12342 He's the same kind of person who enjoys beating a dog. He's just a cruel man that hurts things that are weaker then him.

@funtown101 David Lynch just decided that "John" would be better in the film......

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.

@funtown101 john was just a nick name

[funtown101]

wait why do they call him "john"?

his name is joseph!!

[hrcr101]

Its Joseph, not John.

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!

[copnite12342]

why the hell is he beating john when he sent him away in the first place?
