My Review of The Elephant Man

The Elephant Man was the best inspirational film that by just watching the sad life story of some remarkable man, any personal problems were forgotten. Many times I unconsciously complain about small conflicts of my daily life but truth is other people live with bigger problems and are still happier living in poverty and with nothing. The film was great not because of the actors or action but because of the way it captured your heart, by seeing the true beauty of John Merrick beyond his physical appearance. In the beginning the mystery of  who was the Elephant Man made me feel captivated and throughout the entire film my eyes were glue to the screen not knowing what would happen next. Although the ending was sad the good thing was that he died happy after enjoying a bit of life and on his own terms with friends. The overall message showed that all you shouldn't judge a book by its cover and to finally appreciate your blessings like friends and family.

My Name is John Merrick...

Today was the day of my visit to the theater and I had a splendid time. I had never been to such a marvelous place with ceilings that reach the sky, angel-like music and never in my life had I felt so alive and felt proud of who I am because for once in my life the staring didn't bother me. When Ms. Kendall, The famous theater actress dedicated the show to me it was an honor, I couldn't believe that not so long ago I was nothing more than an ugly monster. I honestly couldn't believe such a wonderful woman would somehow look past my deformity and treat me like a man. All my life I have been treated like a horrible monster just by the way I look but today when watching that performance, it was the best day of my life. Dr. Treves has been my real friend since the start and for that I am grateful because friends are rare. My only wish was for others to see the real me and have friends which was exactly what I  realized today sitting next to Princess Alexandria. I will die happy because my last day was a dream come true.

Welcome to my Nightmare...

The scariest nightmare that I can recall to this day was after watching a scary movie with my family. The movie was a legend which at first wasn't so terrifying but in the end I could feel myself tremble. After the movie night, it was midnight and I couldn't even walk into my dark room but after some time I went to bed and couldn't fall asleep because I felt like the urban legend creature was watching me. After some more tossing and turning, I was able to fall asleep but thats when my nightmare began. All I could see in my dream was me standing in pitch black darkness and out of nowhere the floor started to move so fast that I somehow traveled to a forest of some sorts. In the jungle the only thing I could hear were wild animals and some man in a suit came out from a tree and started talking but i couldn't hear what he said. Then almost in an instant the scenery shifted to an ocean and I was drowning but I couldn't swim. The scary part of my dream was being alone and dying but somehow I could feel that I was being watched. When I woke up I still felt shivers and gasped for air and to this day I never really found out what the dream meant.
