i think even i fell in love with the elephant man . to be so disfigured and yet so kind . i cry when the jerk let his friend view the elephant man at night when they pick him up and twirl him around and throw liquor down his throat . and yet he never defend himself . john hurt be magnificent a john merrick ( elephant man ) and and anthony hopkins play his normal and calm and cool and and collected role a the dr. i also like the head nurse and because although she wasn not thrill about him at first and she grow to care for him a great deal and a must see movie .
