David Lynch didn't fuck with my mind this time...he fucked with my heart 💔
Seit seiner Kindheit ist John Merrick furchtbar entstellt. Als "Elefantenmensch" wird er auf Jahrmärkten vorgeführt und von seinem sadistischen "Besitzer" gequält, bis ihn schließlich der Arzt Frederick Treves entdeckt und ihm Hilfe anbietet. John Merrick soll endlich wie ein Mensch leben. David Lynchs zweiter Spielfilm ist ein eindringliches Plädoyer für Menschlichkeit und Würde. Die meisterliche Schwarzweißfotografie von Kameramann Freddie Francis und das bemerkenswerte Spiel von John Hurt und Anthony Hopkins ließen den Film zu einem gefeierten Klassiker werden.

David Lynch didn't fuck with my mind this time...he fucked with my heart 💔
There's a stretch of a few minutes near the end of this where "my friend" is uttered by four different people with four very different contexts and meanings and I was very moved by it. Simplicity I guess is what you would call this but I think the way Lynch opts for grace and patience is not as easy as it looks, there's real meditative poetry in these images and performances that I think others would've missed even if given the same material.
"My life is full, because I know that I am loved"What a powerful quote from an extra powerful piece of film making. I'm blown away by this. The feelings it envoked within me alone deserve 5 stars, respectively.Hopkins was absolutely impeccable. His eyes ...... oh my HIS EYES, his eyes on their own just portrayed such intensity & emotion. I felt glued to them & couldn't look away. I wanted to wrap my arms around him & hug him tight. John Merrick was one of the most beautiful people, the way he spoke, his nature. So much genuine love for everything. He made my heart so so happy. Even more so knowing it's a true story. After so much hate from human beings... So heart felt & true to life. Real emotion. Awwww.... I love this so so much I could cry... cry more. I'm impressed & so glad I watched this. Thank you Letterboxd. You're a true true friend xox
