The Elephant Man

Watched the Elephant Man today and it was amazing. It was fascinating to find that although I'm the kind of person who doesn't mind that sort of thing scary I was rather afraid at first of the Elephant man. However as the film progressed, my horror soon turned into pity. If I had to choose which character I would relate to, I'd be Frederick Treves. Shocked into silence at the first sight of Joseph but then eventually would warm up to him, enough so to even give him a hug. But it's also this sort of thing which I find a strange sense of fascination in.
