@copnite12342 Yes, you are right. My good friend introduced this movie to me.

One of the most moving death scenes in cinema history to date. What makes this death so inspirational and emotional that stands out more than any other picture, is simply the fact that the John died peacefully, in his sleep, and without regret. the best way anyone can ever go through. There is no better feeling than what Merrick went through in his final moments. After all the complications in his life, in the end it all payed off...With acceptance and most importantly of all, with love.

"Nothing will die" because the life & memory of John Merrick will live in my heart forever. Rest In Peace John Merrick.

@SamhainTheDark ...ohhhh ok that would make sense. i also heard that because of his countless tumors, that caused his death when he slept normal?

[reshsamech]

His name was Joseph, not John.

@cuznvinnie818 Yes, it is. Thank you for telling me.

@SamhainTheDark It's called Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber. A beautiful piece of music.

@Chu4eon The real Frederick Treves' grandnephew, also called Frederick, appeared as a carnival hand during an opening scene.

@Nutbuster360 Mr. Treves performed an autopsy. Apparently, his head weighed too much and his neck dislocated. That's why he had to sleep sitting up in previous scenes.

The music that's playing while we're looking over the card church. I've heard it from Platoon. What is it called?

[Nutbuster360]

I'm curious to know how does he die having to sleep normally??

[Chu4eon]

Did anyone else notice Frederick Treves was in both sides of the Cast List?

One at 6:25 and the other at 6:43.

@PrinceRavensword I read that he slept laying down because he wanted to be like other people. I guess they're telling us that because before he did it he looked at the picture of himself laying down and he wanted to be like the picture. .
