My Review of The Elephant Man

The Elephant Man is one of the best movies I have ever seen. What really drew my attention was the fact that it was based on a true story, meaning there was actually an elephant man that looked like how they portrayed him in the movie. I think John Merrick is a magnificent character. He goes from being the biggest freak in a freak show to being given a round of applause by everybody in an opera. Throughout the movie he is always scared and curious, but he eventually overcomes that and begins to speak. What I love the most about John Merrick is how he always just wanted to be happy since the beginning, he didn't let all the attention get to him and alternate his intensions, he just always wanted to be happy. I also love how in the scene where he dies, how it gave me the idea that he did it because he finally has been able to do what his biggest goal was, and that was just to be happy, he lived for so long, just to be happy with his life, and when he had finally done that, he saw no other real reason to live anymor. I also love how this movie uses symbolism. I like how they show John Merrick as a god, but not our typical god, in fact a kind of god no one ever imagined. I love how this movie makes you think in order to understand the real message behind the movie.

My Name Is John Merick

Today I was taken back to France by Mr. Bites. He took my back to be in his little show again, at least that is what I assume. When he took me I was very frightened, I thought he would abuse me as soon as he could get his hands on me. I hate being in this freak show, I hate all of this negative attention I get and how people are frighten when they take a look at me. I am not an elephant, I am not an animal, I am a human being. But I guess to Bites, I will always be an animal. Which his why he probably put me in that monkey cage when he was drunk. I was so frightened and humiliated when I was put in there. I felt so lonley and helpless, all I thought about was going back to The London so Dr. Treves can accompany me and keep me safe. I hate Bites because he treats me like an animal. I don't know what I would have done if the other people in the freak show wouldn't have let me out of that cage. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be where I am today, on my way back to The London so I can go back to Dr. Treves.

Compassionate Science

As I get older, I would love to help people who have nothing. But before I do so, I have to make sure that i get well educated enough to be able to do it. So I will make sure to get a good job. I want to go into the field of engineering. Although I don't know what kind of engineer I want to be, I know that whatever it is, I'll be able to help people. I will do this by starting off small, and by small I mean like starting food drives and giving to needy a place to sleep, maybe give money to build a shelter. Then once I do this, I will put all kind of stuff in the shelter so this way the needy can have fun while being in there and will also have stuff for kids because I'm sure that they are sad and in need of some happiness. I will put all sorts of games for kids and adults, and I will even put in a little movie place for entertainment. I will try my best to get them healthy both physically and mentally. I just want for them to still be able to live a normal life. I don't want them to suffer just because they weren't able to make it in life.
