So Anthony Hopkins goes from playing a doctor who cares about an outcast human being to playing a doctor that eats people.

David Lynch cameo at 1:47 just over the left shoulder of Merrick.

Best scene in a wonderful film, though I'll admit that line reminded me of Iron Maiden's The Prisoner.

@pushelildaisies Yes, I agree :)

Thank you. :)

And I apologize if I came off argumentative in my previous comment! I had no intentions to attack you or your opinions. I agree a lot with what you've stated, and we're free to think what we wish anyways, as hard as it is for me to settle with some things that differ from my own thoughts like Holocaust denial. -_-

@AmongTheDispersed That's a totally fair point to make. As we become more progressive and self-aware, we in turn end up experiencing the darker part of our psyches.

@pushelildaisies lol, I'm not saying things were better back then! :)

Believe me, I'm aware of and know all of this. Yes, it doesn't SEEM that there was as much of these things going on due to lack of media attention and computer/online advancements.

But nowadays, it really is getting worse. The more we become aware of ourselves, the more we dwelve into sadistic sides of ourselves that were much more taboo back then than now.

@AmongTheDispersed Nowadays we just have the means to hear about it quicker. I guarantee there were just as many rapists, child molesters, abusers, tyrants, and murderers - we just didn't have [the internet], so we didn't know just how many truly existed. It's nice to think things were better "back then", but it's not true - people have always had the ability to be horrible. In relation to population, yes there are more people. That's simply obvious.

[AmongTheDispersed]

@pushelildaisies No. Nowadays, people are just simply worse.

@tedmania3 Back then? I'm pretty sure people will always have the capacity for this level of cruelty, whether you have witnessed it personally or not.
