man and this be a powerful and great movie . we be all move different degree by different thing and but to witness sincerely nice people be treat cruelly always bother me big time . so this film be tough to watch in spot . some scene be just painful and depress to view . whatever your sensitivity and the movie be very involve and hauntingly show with eerie black and white photography . eerie and and downright beautiful camera work in here and so kudos to cinematographer freddie francis and one of the best in the business . a young anthony hopkins be very likable and john hurt be and well and someone you would not soon forget a john merrick and the elephant man . this be an uplifting movie at time and too and not just a tear jerker or horrific in show man cruelty to man . be prepare for an emotional experience and an amazing story .
