My Review of the Elephant Man

The Elephant Man was a great film because it showed the good in people, such as Dr. Treves. This movie had a positive impact on me because it showed that even through the hardest of times, people like John Merrick did not struggle to remain happy. What I really admired about this film was how most characters changed their feelings towards John Merrick; it showed that someone must not criticize another for looking different. Although The Elephant Man had many sad scenes, it managed to display great lessons throughout the character of John Merrick.

My name is John Merrick

I am not a monster. Dr. Frederick Treves has shown that to me. I used to think there was a reason; a reason of my fault, as to why I was treated this way. Freak...the word freak doesn't hurt me anymore. Here at the London Hospital, I feel loved...I have friends and most importantly I have a home. Dr. Frederick Treves saved me from the abuse of Bytes. Dr. Frederick Treves reminds me of my mother; an angel. I know now that the terrible abuse wasn't my fault, I just happened to be with the wrong people. I have feelings, just as any other human being does. I am a freak, but I am a man.

Welcome To My Nightmare

One of the scariest yet most amazing movies I have seen is Insidious. To me, Insidious was scary in the way that there were pop-ups accompanied by really creepy music. Although the pop-up scenes were scary, it kept the movie interesting. The scene in which the devil's extremely red face pops up scared me because of his appearance and the loud scream he made. There are some things I'm not necessarily afraid of but can startle me in a way. Balloons really manage to creep me out because I hate the loud sound it makes when they pop. Another thing I highly dislike is being alone for a long time. When I'm alone, my imagination gets the best of me and I start thinking of situations like someone breaking into my house and killing me or taking me away.
