The Elephant Man

Movie Summary

Released: 1981
The biography of John Merrick (a/k/a the Elephant Man), his trials and tribulations to be accepted as a human being instead of a circus freak, and his triumph is being accepted into society. Filmed in black and white, this film is a true art form with exceptional documentation, graphic photographs, and a heart wrenching story of one man's insistence that, even though gruesome on the outside, he was indeed a gentleman at heart.

DAVID LYNCH RULES!!! He totally got screwed when he didn't win an Academy Award for this award winning masterpiece!

I heard that Mel Brooks co-produced this film, but he was uncredited because it would ruin his reputation for being a comedian and making funny films.
