The Elephant Man (1980)
A total heart-wrenching real life story of an Englishman named John (/Joseph) Merrick who become known as The ELEPHANT MAN because of his deformed physical appearance. Lynch masterfully put us on a heavy emotional journey that takes us get inside the man and his tortured existence. An uniquely unforgettable masterpiece that makes us truly sorry but doesn't actually care for our blind pity.The film asks for our respect, not cry for Merrick. But eventually it's very hard to resist ourselves from doing that. One of the greatest lines comes when Merrick's fellow "freaks" in the circus help him escape and said "Good luck, my friend. And who needs it more than us?" A must see for everyone to know & see the deformed face of 'humanity' in this cruel ugly world.
